In Munich #MSC, leaders should consider energy, economy and climate security in an integrated fashion. I was honored to give the Brandt Lecture&put forward 4 propositions on how the EU should respond to this disruptive moment. www.uni-erfurt.de/en/brandtsch...
Oil interests have shaped military interventions for decades. Venezuela is the latest cautionary case of the impact of fossil fuel dependency.
At Davos, leaders outlined how security now increasingly depends on staying ahead in the low-carbon transition.

Wir müssen Energie-, Wirtschafts- und Klimasicherheit gemeinsam betrachten. Vielen Dank für die hervorragende Diskussion mit Maya Göpel.
Day 11 at #COP30🇧🇷
The closing plenary is underway at COP30 where countries have agreed on a package. As the gavel drops, it’s time to go home and get to work accelerating the transition away from fossil fuels and from deforestation to a clean and green economy.

Day 10 at #COP30🇧🇷
The text that dropped this morning fell short of what’s needed to address the climate crisis. The legacy of Belém hangs in the balance as countries take part in the final hours of negotiations.

Day 9 at #COP30🇧🇷
President Lula is at COP30 to accelerate a final deal. As the newly released Climate Analytics findings show - we can reduce the rise of temperatures almost 1 degree by implementing previous COP goals.

With 72 hours left on the #COP30 clock, I joined the @outrageoptimism.bsky.social podcast to discuss where things stand, what’s moving, what isn’t, and how the presidency is trying to break the deadlock.

We aren’t on track—but we have a strong foundation to build from.
Jennifer Morgan recently emphasized the significance of the #StateOfClimateAction 2025 report in providing a clear roadmap for accelerating progress ahead of #COP30 🌍

Approved: Day 8 at #COP30🇧🇷
Momentum is growing in Belém: today, a coalition of more than 80 countries came together to call for a collective roadmap to transition away from fossil fuels.

Countries are talking about the transition away from fossil fuel more than any COP in history.

Have courage to create fossil fuel phaseout roadmap at Cop30, Brazilian minister urges
Day 6 at #COP30🇧🇷
Countries are coming together discuss a critical roadmap to transition away from fossil fuels - one that’s guided by technology, science, and economics.

My update from day 5 at COP. Climate change is intensifying climate risks across the globe. Recent severe weather in Jamaica and the Philippines shows why #COP30 must deliver meaningful finance for communities adapting on the frontlines.

My day 2 rundown from #COP30 in #Belem 🇧🇷
It's day one at #COP30! Unlike recent COPs, this year is about accelerating implementation. 10 years on from the #ParisAgreement, we've seen what multilateralism and the spirit of mutirão can achieve 🤝
I'll be sharing a daily update on what's happening in Belem 🇧🇷 -

Hi Everyone, check out my latest video where I share where I will be working next! Hint: Fellow @hertieschool.bskysocial and Senior Fellow @fletcherschool Very excited!
My @forumalpbach focused on how the EU can radically collaborate w developing countries on climate, energy and economic security w new paradigms driving wellbeing 4all. And many interactions with impressive youth! EU must step it up at this disruptive moment. #ClimateActionNow
On my way to European Forum Alpbach 2025 #EFA25. There was never a more important time to Recharge Europe to create a more safe and secure Europe and planet! With such a creative, diverse & smart group, I am sure that new ideas and plans will emerge to achieve economic, energy and climate security.
Der Internationale Gerichtshof hat deutlich gemacht: #Klimaschutz ist eine Verpflichtung für alle Staaten! Das ist eine wichtige Botschaft - der nur durch alle Länder mit umfassenden Klimapolitiken entsprochen werden kann!
Important signals in the EU-China press statement at a critical moment in the lead-up to #COP30. Looking forward to its implementation, especially 1.5 aligned NDCs!
Klimaschutz ist die Pflicht aller Staaten – sagt der #IGH. Er hat bestätigt: Staaten müssen Maßnahmen ergreifen, um Klimaschäden zu verhindern und eine saubere, gesunde und nachhaltige Umwelt zu ermöglichen. Ein wichtiger Meilenstein für den #Klimaschutz.
The ICJ clarifies: all states have obligations to protect the climate. To take measures to prevent damages and ensure a clean, healthy & sustainable environment. A big milestone. Under Vanuatu’s leadership, #Germany, SIDS & others initiated this request to the #ICJ.
The incoming #COP30 Presidency was extremely active, listening, and seeking ways of achieving Mission 1.5. We all now need to bring our ideas and actions forward with determination. The time is now to engage actively to build the world we need.
The ethical Global Stocktake, co-chaired in Europe @ MariaSilva and Mary Robinson brings the very needed focus on the ethics of climate change- how to create radical collaboration with equity and justice at the core, respect each other and build trust together.
