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.

The Soča River, with its turquoise water carving its way, offers a striking paradox.
Breathtaking beauty set against a backdrop of historical trauma.

My message from the stage at #WWWeek:
1️⃣ Climate impacts are real security risks.
2️⃣ But conflict is NOT a foregone conclusion.
3️⃣ Governance, policy, and choice are the pathways to peace.
Grateful to everyone who engaged in this critical conversation. #ClimateSecurity

We're asking #LLMs, a novelist, to perform a financial audit and are shocked at the fiction it produces.

Europe🇪🇺 is building a 21st-century military on quicksand.
The massive investment in conventional defence ignores the #climate crisis already degrading forces & threatening bases—a strategic blunder.

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. 🧵👇

A fitting venue for a critical discussion. The OSCE Chair Conference on #ClimateSecurity was held at Hanaholmen, the 🇸🇪-🇫🇮 centre for cooperation. That collaborative spirit is exactly what's needed to advance the climate security agenda.

For decades, we've studied war & peace as if isolated from nature.
But #climate change is an active force shaping conflicts & peace efforts.
