Climate change, and the responses to it, will reshape geopolitics and the global security landscape. With this project, Carnegie intends to contribute to the growing body of research on climate geopolitics and engage with policymakers to ensure that the latest, best knowledge is reflected in governmental strategies and security budgets. The project will generate an edited volume and a series of private workshops and public events.
This project is led by Dan Baer and Noah Gordon and is supported by the Open Society Foundations.

This summer’s deadly heat wave could be the third major impetus in just two years for countries to acknowledge that tilting European markets through carbon pricing isn’t enough to address the climate crisis. To meet the existential challenge, states must intervene aggressively in markets, starting with energy regulations and industrial policies.
Berlin’s seemingly technical energy debate is actually social and political.
