Earth Day 2026 finds us at a collision point between climate idealism and Realpolitik. I told Euronews that the climate aid picture looks grim for its advocates. While the Hormuz closure and the war in Ukraine have intensified the push for nuclear energy and renewables to secure the European home front, those same shocks have eroded the political appetite for overseas climate aid.
In Europe, energy security hasn’t been decoupled from climate goals, like in the USA, but I’d argue it is being subsumed by them. Green vs. guns budget debates will surely intensify, and there will need to be creative and private-led solutions to fill aid shortfalls left by Europe.

To the alarmist adherents of international law, I say: yes, the UN needs law not ideology, but let’s have a more honest conversation about the hopes and the severe limitations of the UN 🇺🇳
I sat in an interview with former Iran FM Javad Zarif hosted by NYU back in 2015. I remember personally finding him too slick - playing the diplomats and journalists filling room with rehearsed jokes about Senator Tom Cotton, soothing the audience with inaccurate claims that a UN resolution could supplant Congressional support, mocking President Obama for running a pluralist country where people are free to disagree, while representing a regime that in ten years would murder 32,000 of its own people - people who had enough of his regime and its performative and fake “reformer” image.
Today, the very same people who laughed at Zarif’s jokes are upset about Epic Fury.
While Antonio Guterres wrings his hands over "procedural" violations of the UN Charter, the Iranian people are dancing in the streets of Isfahan and Tehran. It’s the ultimate tragicomedy satire of the UN: invoking international law as an excuse to protect the “sovereign rights” of a dead dictator, while the original intent of the 1945 Charter—preventing a Great War by stopping evil regimes with nuclear and genocidal ambitions—is being enforced.
What will the outcome of Epic Fury be? I don’t know. No one does. I hope Iranians will be free, and I hope the Middle East will be free of Iran’s 47 year terrorist war. Nothing is guaranteed. What I do know is that the Western language used back at Westerners to charm us was a lie.
Is the UN’s "forgetfulness" about who wrote the Charter and why its fatal flaw? Or are we finally seeing the end of Westphalian protection for dictators that has come to characterize (originally Soviet) interpretations of the Charter?
