SIPRI Director of Studies @floriankrampe.bsky.social discusses the changing physics of the Arctic in this opinion piece for the @financialtimes.com, and explains why environmental realities must be taken into account. Full article ➡️ bit.ly/4kqOLhM #Arctic #ClimateSecurity #Geopolitics #SIPRI

The real #Greenland problem? Leaders ignore “the water rising around their ankles”, SIPRI’s @floriankrampe.bsky.social argues “Countries are systematically underinvesting in protection against environmental forces that degrade the capabilities of their defence assets…” www.ft.com/content/b44f...

How can investing in the green transition build lasting resilience? SIPRI's @floriankrampe.bsky.social and Aurore Belfrage break it down in their latest external article for @di.se. Read it now: www.di.se/debatt/inves...

We are treating "Green vs. Military" as a budget war. It should be an innovation race. 🇸🇪 Sweden’s defense budget is up 34%. If we don't invest in dual-use tech, we are funding obsolescence. The Nordics can own this export market. My op-ed w/ @aurorebelfrage.bsky.social in @di.se.

Last week, SIPRI's @floriankrampe.bsky.social spoke at a panel hosted by Oesterreichische Nationalbank on sustainable security. 📺 Watch the panel discussion: www.youtube.com/watch?v=91ik... #Sustainability #SustainableSecurity #ClimateRisks #Resilience

I spent this week in two very different rooms, discussing the same looming failure. You cannot buy 21st-century security with a 20th-century receipt. If we treat "National Security" and "Ecological Security" as separate line items, we fail at both. #ClimateSecurity

EU defense spending is up 16%. But a budget ignoring climate resilience is built on quicksand. Deterrence fails when troops are tied up in disaster relief. Wed at @oenb.at, we debate the operational reality. It isn't about emissions. It's about survival. www.linkedin.com/events/balan...

We define projects by the name of the pot where the money comes from, not by the problems they solve. As I discussed with @danbanik.bsky.social this isn't just an administrative headache. It is a systemic failure. youtu.be/Hb6voDIkS1c?...

I sat down with @danbanik.bsky.social to discuss why "hard security" is becoming a brittle strategy in the Anthropocene. Full discussion on In Pursuit of Development: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hb6v... #ClimateSecurity #Defense #Peacebuilding @sipri.org

This new partner publication by @giz.de, ISS and SIPRI brings together research and practical experience to offer actionable recommendations for making work on fragility more effective and sustainable➡️ bit.ly/44skwQW #Peace #Development @floriankrampe.bsky.social @dylan-odriscoll.bsky.social

We have the capital. We have the technology. What we lack is a social machinery capable of using them. 👉 www.linkedin.com/posts/krampe...

Europe is focused on the Eastern flank. But can we afford to let "hard security" blind us to #ClimateSecurity risks? If we drain resilience funding to buy tanks, we aren't safer—we’re just vulnerable in a different way. My discussion w Dominic Bowen 👇 open.spotify.com/episode/2ffE...

If European industry can’t navigate this bureaucracy, what hope do Fragile States have? New data from the Financial Times on the EU Innovation Fund is damning: ❌ €7.1bn awarded since 2021 ❌ Only 4.7% actually paid out ❌ 3,000 hours and €85k per application www.linkedin.com/posts/krampe...

Is your supply chain strategy prepared for the coming governance deficit? Climate stress + weak institutions = commercial volatility. Companies that win will treat resilience as an investment, not a reporting burden. 🎧 open.spotify.com/episode/2ffE... #Geopolitics #BusinessStrategy

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.

Today, #SIPRI releases a new research policy paper by Katongo Seyuba and @floriankrampe.bsky.social exploring how businesses can foster climate resilience and #peacebuilding in fragile and conflict-affected situations. Full paper 🔗 doi.org/10.55163/PDK... #ClimateSecurity #ClimateChange

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? Katongo Seyuba and I explore the question: www.sipri.org/publications... #ClimateSecurity

Despite having a clear mandate to work at the intersection of #ClimateChange and security, the #OSCE's approach is still to reach its full potential. In this new Policy Brief, Emma Hakala & @floriankrampe.bsky.social give recommendations to strengthen the OSCE’s work: 🔗 doi.org/10.55163/MLS...

The OSCE has a long history of environment & security. How to turn high-level commitments into on-the-ground action? Our new @sipri.org Policy Brief w/ @ezhakala.bsky.social of @fiia.fi offers a roadmap. 📰⏩Read it here: www.sipri.org/publications... #ClimateSecurity

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. 📰⏩ www.linkedin.com/posts/krampe... #ClimateSecurity #BSF2025 #WaterSecurity

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

Europe is rushing to rearm. But what if it's preparing for yesterday's world? In a great new piece by @Zetland, I argue that ignoring climate change undermines the very security we're trying to build. We don't have the luxury of sequencing threats. 🧵 www.zetland.dk/historie/sT9...

AI's confident lies about climate research reveal a dangerous gap—not just in tech, but in our understanding of how to use it. New piece by @floriankrampe.bsky.social of @sipri.org explores the human side of the AI crisis: www.newsecuritybeat.org/2025/08/ais-...

We're asking #LLMs, a novelist, to perform a financial audit and are shocked at the fiction it produces. The ghost in the machine is our own flawed approach. My take on #GenAI in climate security research @newsecuritybeat.bsky.social. 📰⏩ www.newsecuritybeat.org/2025/08/ais-... #ClimateSecurity

New external publication by SIPRI’s @floriankrampe.bsky.social and Cedric de Coning explores how #ClimateChange and violent extremism are interconnected, and how environmental peacebuilding can help address both 🔗 bit.ly/3J8IdWz #ClimateSecurity #Peacebuilding

Is Europe's massive defence spending surge a strategic gamble? In the rush to counter conventional threats, we are building a 21st-century military on quicksand. That quicksand is climate change: www.weforum.org/stories/2025... #ClimateSecurity

Here @floriankrampe.bsky.social argues that more of the EU's planned increase in military spending be targeted towards dual use tech responsive to the #ClimateCrisis and #decarbonisation. www.weforum.org/stories/2025... 1/3

The air was still with the sounds of the city... ...carved into the stone monument a solemn vow: "Let all the souls here rest in peace for we shall not repeat the evil." 80 years on, a day for reflection and peace. #Hiroshima80

Excellent read! Check it! www.weforum.org/stories/2025...

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. 📰My full take for the @wef ⏩ www.weforum.org/stories/2025... #ClimateSecurity

Climate change also threatens Europe’s military capability, and a failure to address this will erode our security. Here my esteemed colleague @floriankrampe.bsky.social explains why and how.

Europe’s defence build-up is a climate gamble – here’s how it can course correct 📰⏩ weforum.org/stories/2025... #ClimateSecurity

Is the path from climate stress to conflict a gradual slope, or is it a sudden cliff? 🆕📰New paper in Earth Systems Dynamics ⏩ esd.copernicus.org/articles/16/... #ClimateSecurity

Florian serves up the main course. If you're still hungry, here's dessert: climateandsecurity.org/2022/01/brie...

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. 🧵👇

In Haiti 🇭🇹 climate vulnerability and conflict are tragically intertwined. Our new #ClimateSecurity Fact Sheet, a joint effort between @SIPRIorg and @nupinytt, unpacks this complex crisis. Read the full fact sheet here: www.sipri.org/publications...

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.

SIPRI’s Florian Krampe featured in new article by The Guardian: “Ignoring military emissions is not just concerning with regard to climate change,” said Krampe. “It ignores the growing recognition of climate change being a serious security risk for Europe and beyond.” 🔗 bit.ly/4jzfcQu

"Is #ClimateChange inadvertently creating fertile ground for #ViolentExtremism? 🤔 My key takeaway from our recent RSIS webinar: Ignoring this critical nexus risks catastrophic security failures. 👇 #ClimateSecurity #PCVE #HumanSecurity

Alarming @theguardian.com guardian report by Ajit Niranjan: Only 2/30 European countries have net-zero targets for military emissions. A massive oversight given militaries account for ~5.5% of global emissions. This isn't just a climate issue—it’s a #SecurityRisk. 👇 #ClimateSecurity

What if our approach to peace is missing a crucial piece? For decades, we've studied war & peace as if isolated from nature. But #climate change is an active force shaping conflicts & peace efforts. Our recent International Affairs article dives deep. 👇 #ClimateSecurity #Peacebuilding
