Conflict and Global Britain with the HALO Trust

Global conflict is more complex than ever. It costs the global economy $14.5 trillion. The World Bank estimates that by 2030, two thirds of the world’s poor will live in proximity to conflict. We are entering what has been framed ‘a decade of impunity’ after a decade of isolationism that followed a decade of interventionism. But what role should a ‘Global Britain’ play when it comes to taking action on conflict? This panel will explore the humanitarian, political and economic case for the UK’s future conflict strategy.

Speakers:
(Chair) Sally Lockwood, Sky News Correspondent

Fabian Hamilton MP, Shadow Minister for Peace and Disarmament

Professor Mandy Turner, Professor of Conflict, Peace and Humanitarian Affairs, Humanitarian and Conflict Response Institute (HCRI), University of Manchester

Shabnam Nasimi, Executive Director of Conservative Friends of Afghanistan

Chris Loughran, Senior Advisor, The HALO Trust
