Upcoming | Foreign Policy is Climate Policy

Climate change will have long-lasting impacts on the 21st century world order. It will redefine how we live and work, and change the systems of production, trade, economics, and finance. Yet the world is woefully underprepared for climate change’s cascading impacts. The actions of global powers like the United States and China will largely determine climate change’s impact on the globe. At the same time, climate change is already influencing today’s era of great power competition and redefining the landscape of global climate leadership.

Please join us for the virtual launch of “21st Century Diplomacy: Foreign Policy is Climate Policy” a series of op-eds, interviews, and in-depth articles focused on seven central climate-related challenges for foreign policy. Panelists will discuss how climate risks and climate policy are affecting global and regional balances of power – and the political opportunities to raise ambition and new leadership coalitions. As the world enters a new era of great power competition, how will climate change tip the balance?
