Nationalism and populism are making it harder for countries to work together and causing more conflicts. Here’s how they do this:

• Isolationism: Some countries focus only on what benefits them. This means they stop cooperating with others, which makes it tough to tackle big problems like climate change together.

• Xenophobia: There’s a growing fear and dislike of immigrants. This can create tension between countries and make it harder for people to live together peacefully.

• Erosion of Democracies: Some leaders take advantage of populism to gain more control. This can damage important democratic systems that keep governments accountable.

What We Can Do:

• We should strengthen international organizations to help countries talk and work together.
• It’s important to create fair policies that listen to people’s concerns without turning to nationalism.
