DESCRIPTION:For this seminar\, we are joined by Gareth Owen from Save the
  Children. \n\nWe are experiencing an era of great global uncertainty an
 d staggering inequality where the most marginalised and under-privileged
  risk being left behind. Internationalism is receding in favour of sover
 eignty\, with increasing breakdown of co-operation among the great power
 s. Conflict drives much of humanitarian need and is enduring longer than
  twenty years ago. It is increasingly urban\; increasingly blurred betwe
 en the formal and the criminal and increasingly lethal for civilians and
  aid workers. The four great ‘global peaks’ - people\, oil\, water & lan
 d use – are approaching\, alongside increasing urbanisation and accelera
 ting global warming. These extremes will spark more human conflict and d
 isaster\, further displacement and markedly increased humanitarian deman
 d. Against this tumultuous backdrop\, Gareth will be reflecting on the c
 urrent state of the humanitarian enterprise and offering a personal opin
 ion on how things need to change to face the enormous challenges of the 
 21st Century.
