Summary: In April 2019, the Wheeler Institute for Business and Development hosted a conference at London Business School: Landmine Contamination and Clearance – Policy and the Way Forward. It drew together a range of speakers from the the United Nations Mine Action Service, the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining, leading NGOs involved in humanitarian demining, and academic institutions. This event follows research by London Business School Academics, Elias Papaioannou and Giorgio Chiovelli, and Brown’s Stelios Michalopoulos assessing the economic impact of landmine clearance on spatial development. This podcast is a recording of Paul Heslop, an LBS alumnus who serves now as the chief of operations and planning for the UN Mine Action Service.
