My new piece on Africa Arguments: “Blaming the Weather for the Fire.” Tinubu blamed climate & the Sahel for Nigeria’s terrorism. He’s not entirely wrong but it’s a deflection. Climate is the candle. State failure, poverty & neglect light the flame. 🔥 @stacydvandeveer.bsky.social

We are treating "Green vs. Military" as a budget war. It should be an innovation race. 🇸🇪 Sweden’s defense budget is up 34%. If we don't invest in dual-use tech, we are funding obsolescence. The Nordics can own this export market. My op-ed w/ @aurorebelfrage.bsky.social in @di.se.

I spent this week in two very different rooms, discussing the same looming failure. You cannot buy 21st-century security with a 20th-century receipt. If we treat "National Security" and "Ecological Security" as separate line items, we fail at both. #ClimateSecurity
EU defense spending is up 16%. But a budget ignoring climate resilience is built on quicksand. Deterrence fails when troops are tied up in disaster relief. Wed at @oenb.at, we debate the operational reality. It isn't about emissions. It's about survival. www.linkedin.com/events/balan...
We define projects by the name of the pot where the money comes from, not by the problems they solve. As I discussed with @danbanik.bsky.social this isn't just an administrative headache. It is a systemic failure. youtu.be/Hb6voDIkS1c?...

Can the world quit coal?
Nearly a third of all countries worldwide have pledged to phase out their unabated coal-burning power. But China and India are still adding coal plants – for now.

I've always believed in intentionally exposing myself to difficult situations. Public speaking. Pitching to publishers. Interviewing senior policymakers. The reasoning is simple: If you don't try, you don't win. If you don't fail, you can't grow.
Today, #SIPRI releases a new research policy paper by Katongo Seyuba and @floriankrampe.bsky.social exploring how businesses can foster climate resilience and #peacebuilding in fragile and conflict-affected situations. Full paper 🔗 doi.org/10.55163/PDK... #ClimateSecurity #ClimateChange
Most CEOs see fragile states as a risk to be avoided. But could they be the single greatest untapped market for European business, especially in regards to climate-resilient investments? Katongo Seyuba and I explore the question: www.sipri.org/publications... #ClimateSecurity
