Climate change will profoundly impact humanity’s relationship with the environment and disrupt geopolitics, economics, security, and governance around the world.
To adapt to the changing realities and lead climate action, Europe will need to anticipate challenges and reconcile democratic and institutional resilience with local, national, and international ambitions.
The UK’s constitution won’t change, but he could subtly influence policy in one specific area.
Thus far, climate change has exacerbated pre-existing social, socio-economic, and political fractures. In the future, systemic, profound disruptions - including that of conflict between states - is possible.
There is a direct relationship between society's capacity to adapt and its equity, equality, and resilience. In this age of climate adaptation, greater attention should be paid to the roles that women can play politically, economically, and societally.
Water scarcity threatens the political, social, economic, and environmental stability of Iran. The European Union can help by trailblazing a new form of diplomacy that integrates climate action, cultural exchange, and technological cooperation.
In Turkey, green protests can go beyond environmental issues and include demands for more inclusive and transparent governance. But while climate activism can help keep the opposition alive, the country’s democratic future is still in question.
Decarbonization is key to delivering the energy transition, but it requires a massive increase in the mining and extraction of minerals like lithium, graphite, and cobalt. The countries that control these resources may be able to shape geopolitical power dynamics to their own advantage.
In this era of geopolitical competition, Europe believes it offers an approach based upon multilateralism and international solidarity. To convince others of this viable alternative, Europe must better understand perceptions in the Global South and improve its own international standing.
One of Russia’s aims in Ukraine is gaining access to vital resources the EU needs to deliver on its climate change agenda. The use of force and instrumentalization of war are central to Moscow’s strategy.
Peacebuilding and security development processes have failed to address environmental issues. The interrelationships between conflict and climate change should now play an increasingly important role in peace negotiations.
