Conflict & human consequences
The environmental and human costs of conflict, with attention to the region and the wider world.
The costs beyond the headlines
Hammad’s writing on conflict considers what is often missing from accounts centred on territory, power and military events: the effects on communities, livelihoods and the environment.
His essay “Conflict, oil and earth” connects conflict with fossil-fuel dependence and damage to natural systems. It sits alongside his wider writing on climate, public responsibility and the long-term consequences of decisions made far from the people most affected.
His public-work interests include the Kashmir conflict and its human consequences, alongside engagement with international partners. Selected writing is collected below with a link to its original publisher.
