Tariffs are reshaping the map.

Trade once meant interdependence; now it means insurance.

Global supply-chains are reorganizing into blocs, and fragility is the price of control.

Supply-chain shock #4.0: tariffs, trade, and the new geography of risk
For decades, global trade worked on an elegant premise, well, in theory, one that was perhaps a little wonderfully messy in practice.

The death of the open internet: what replaces the world’s last shared space?
As governments shut networks, cables fray, and walled gardens rise, the idea of a single global internet is disappearing. What replaces it will shape everything from democracy to data.

COP30 delivered urgency on paper, ambiguity in practice. Adaptation finance is up; a fossil-fuel phase-out isn’t.
