The invasion of Ukraine will rightly top the agenda at this week's #NATOSummit. But the new Strategic Concept must still prioritize NATO's sustained role in tackling #climatesecurity challenges.

A pleasure to co-author this with @SigneEKoss & @armida_lm.

Investing in resilience and stronger climate policies is how we prepare for a warming world, to protect lives, biodiversity, infrastructure and our future. As Gavin Newsom said, "there is no wildfire season, it's fire year".

[Anum Farhan @anum__f]

The California wildfires, fuelled by record-breaking heat and drought, are a clear sign of the worsening impacts of climate change. Our @CH_Environment explainer shows the cascading impacts of extreme heat on health, biodiversity, security, the economy.

The global trade and production of textiles contributes 6-8 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions and creates 92 million tonnes of waste, write @anum__f and @Glada_Lahn (@CH_Environment).

You can and should condemn the killing of civilians. You can argue there is no justification for such violence. But to call the attack “unprovoked” is not just dishonest but dehumanizing—as if to say the daily violence and oppression Palestinians face is an acceptable norm.

If you write, teach or otherwise work on anything "decolonial", but don't appreciate the significance of this picture, then your work isn't really decolonial

How does #climatechange affect security issues, and what does this in turn mean for #defence forces?

Climate change and extreme weather events risk jeopardizing @NATO capabilities, and the alliance must prepare, warn @anum__f, (@CH_Environment) @SigneEKoss and @armida_lm (@ChathamHouseISR).

Very proud of my Chatham House team, @armida_lm with @ChathamHouseISR and @anum__f with @CH_Environment. Really looking forward to hearing Armida share our research findings on NATO's role in addressing climate security, tomorrow.

Please tune in!

Flooding could cost South Asia up to $215bn every year by 2030, with the number of climate migrants reaching 40m by 2050.

Extreme weather – including heatwaves and flooding – appears to be the new normal for Pakistan.

@DrGarethPrice and I recently explored why and how this is happening for @Cascades_EU, and how resilience against climate impacts can be strengthened: https://t.co/9M6LTGJ5Od

2022 brought extreme heatwaves and floods to South Asia.

Why did they happen?
How can the region build climate resilience?
What are the political obstacles to action?

After many months of digging, @maybulman and I can reveal not one Afghan has been brought to the UK under the ACRS, with many facing torture and death.

Meanwhile, only 5-8 staff are working on the scheme compared to 540 on Ukraine.

South Asian countries need to invest in climate resilience and adaptation - but this will require political will, public support, technological advances, regional cooperation and, sadly, a great deal of luck.
