Where Conflict Meets Climate: A Story Of Resilience

“Where Conflict Meets Climate: A Story of Resilience” recounts my kidnapping while working in a conflict- and climate-affected zone. During three months in captivity, witnessing deaths deeply scarred me yet revealed our shared humanity beyond race or class. Through dialogue, I helped deradicalize seven combatants, who later reintegrated and joined me in restoring 85 hectares of burned forest transforming pain into purposeful action for peace and nature.
