Description:
In this session experts and activists of IPB's Global Campaign On Military Spending will discuss current levels of military spending globally from a critical perspective, arguing that ever-growing military power perpetuates and exacerbates conflicts and instability, does not provide security to people and prevents us from adequately dealing with the global challenges we're facing, as though climate change, pandemics or increasing inequality and migration.
