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.

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?

Vital debate at the Bled Strategic Forum on the nexus of #water, peace & #security.
My key message: We must treat water as the political issue it is. While climate change raises the stakes, conflict is not destiny. Evidence-based, preventive action can build pathways to peace.

Europe is rushing to rearm. But what if it's preparing for yesterday's world?
In a great new piece by @Zetland, I argue that ignoring climate change undermines the very security we're trying to build. We don't have the luxury of sequencing threats. 🧵

Is there a direct line between #climatechange and violent extremism?
The answer is far more complex than a simple 'yes' or 'no'.
In our new book chapter, we argue climate change acts as a potent risk multiplier, creating grievances that extremist groups are dangerously adept at exploiting. 🧵👇
