One year ago, I wrote this policy brief for @nupinytt.bsky.social, arguing for a stronger European maritime footprint from the Red Sea to the Strait of Hormuz. Today, calls for a sustained European naval presence sound louder than ever. Perhaps worth (re)reading: www.nupi.no/en/publicati...

Norway is usually the EU’s star pupil on EØS implementation, but ... not in energy. A new article shows the lag isn’t about admin capacity, but politics: EU energy rules have become a lightning rod in Norway’s polarized debate. Full piece in Norwegian: tidsskriftet-ip.no/index.php/in...
Hvorfor Norge har et stort implementeringsetterslep i energisektoren
Historisk har det i stor grad vært samsvar mellom Norges og EUs energipolitikk. Likevel henger Norge et par runder bak EU i å innlemme regelverk i denne sektoren. Hvorfor har det oppstått et slik impl...

Europe says it has diversified away from Russian gas. But the data tells a different story. A new analysis @piria.bsky.social Raffaele Piria, Hannah Lentschig, Louise van Schaik and I just published shows the EU has largely swapped one dependency for another—from Russia to the US. 🧵⬇️
Communities in the disputed #Abyei territory largely depend on climate-sensitive livelihoods such as cattle herding, farming and seasonal migration. This #SIPRI @nupinytt.bsky.social Fact Sheet shows how climate issues are deepening livelihood and security pressures in Abyei. 🌱 More: bit.ly/4qHS7yW

"The war in Ukraine has re-securitised the entire European project. #Enlargement has returned to the political agenda, but the tools we use in this regard were developed for a different reality." - @prieker.bsky.social, Director of ARENA & Research Fellow @nupinytt.bsky.social. /35

#Climate-related security risks are not gender-neutral; they intersect with existing social, political and economic inequalities, shaping people’s exposure to risk, capacity to adapt and inclusion in peacebuilding. Read this new fact sheet from SIPRI and @nupinytt.bsky.social 🔗 bit.ly/488Tu3K
Gender remains inconsistently addressed in climate policies, while climate risks are largely absent from women, peace and security frameworks. This new thematic fact sheet from SIPRI and @nupinytt.bsky.social provides recommended actions. 🔗 bit.ly/488Tu3K
