Oil interests have shaped military interventions for decades. Venezuela is the latest cautionary case of the impact of fossil fuel dependency. At Davos, leaders outlined how security now increasingly depends on staying ahead in the low-carbon transition. My latest piece ⬇️ tinyurl.com/f3wem2av

Will China overtake the U.S. in the global green transition? Dean Kelly Sims Gallagher authors a piece for @foreignpolicy.com, discussing China's efforts to combat climate change. foreignpolicy.com/2026/01/05/c...

My thoughts published today in The Conversation - more relevant than ever. @fletcherschool.bsky.social : ⁦‪ theconversation.com/the-battle-o...

Wir müssen Energie-, Wirtschafts- und Klimasicherheit gemeinsam betrachten. Vielen Dank für die hervorragende Diskussion mit Maya Göpel.

Day 11 at #COP30🇧🇷 The closing plenary is underway at COP30 where countries have agreed on a package. As the gavel drops, it’s time to go home and get to work accelerating the transition away from fossil fuels and from deforestation to a clean and green economy. @FletcherSchool @policy_climate

Day 10 at #COP30🇧🇷 The text that dropped this morning fell short of what’s needed to address the climate crisis. The legacy of Belém hangs in the balance as countries take part in the final hours of negotiations. @FletcherSchool @policy_climate

Day 9 at #COP30🇧🇷 President Lula is at COP30 to accelerate a final deal. As the newly released Climate Analytics findings show - we can reduce the rise of temperatures almost 1 degree by implementing previous COP goals. @FletcherSchool @policy_climate

With 72 hours left on the #COP30 clock, I joined the @outrageoptimism.bsky.social podcast to discuss where things stand, what’s moving, what isn’t, and how the presidency is trying to break the deadlock. 👂here: www.outrageandoptimism.org/episodes/ins...

We aren’t on track—but we have a strong foundation to build from. Jennifer Morgan recently emphasized the significance of the #StateOfClimateAction 2025 report in providing a clear roadmap for accelerating progress ahead of #COP30 🌍 📘Download the report: bit.ly/3WQmTZB

Approved: Day 8 at #COP30🇧🇷 Momentum is growing in Belém: today, a coalition of more than 80 countries came together to call for a collective roadmap to transition away from fossil fuels. @FletcherSchool @policy_climate

Countries are talking about the transition away from fossil fuel more than any COP in history. Read more by @johnainger #COP30 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Day 7 at #COP30🇧🇷 The important role of indigenous communities and civil society are evident here and bringing the voices of people into the negotiations. @FletcherSchool @policy_climate

Have courage to create fossil fuel phaseout roadmap at Cop30, Brazilian minister urges

Day 6 at #COP30🇧🇷 Countries are coming together discuss a critical roadmap to transition away from fossil fuels - one that’s guided by technology, science, and economics. @fletcherschool.bsky.social

My update from day 5 at COP. Climate change is intensifying climate risks across the globe. Recent severe weather in Jamaica and the Philippines shows why #COP30 must deliver meaningful finance for communities adapting on the frontlines. @fletcherschool.bsky.social

Day 4 at #COP30 🇧🇷

Day 3 at #COP30 🇧🇷

My day 2 rundown from #COP30 in #Belem 🇧🇷

It's day one at #COP30! Unlike recent COPs, this year is about accelerating implementation. 10 years on from the #ParisAgreement, we've seen what multilateralism and the spirit of mutirão can achieve 🤝 I'll be sharing a daily update on what's happening in Belem 🇧🇷 - @fletcherschool.bsky.social

Hi Everyone, check out my latest video where I share where I will be working next! Hint: Fellow @hertieschool.bskysocial and Senior Fellow @fletcherschool Very excited!

My @forumalpbach focused on how the EU can radically collaborate w developing countries on climate, energy and economic security w new paradigms driving wellbeing 4all. And many interactions with impressive youth! EU must step it up at this disruptive moment. #ClimateActionNow

On my way to European Forum Alpbach 2025 #EFA25. There was never a more important time to Recharge Europe to create a more safe and secure Europe and planet! With such a creative, diverse & smart group, I am sure that new ideas and plans will emerge to achieve economic, energy and climate security.

Der Internationale Gerichtshof hat deutlich gemacht: #Klimaschutz ist eine Verpflichtung für alle Staaten! Das ist eine wichtige Botschaft - der nur durch alle Länder mit umfassenden Klimapolitiken entsprochen werden kann!

Important signals in the EU-China press statement at a critical moment in the lead-up to #COP30. Looking forward to its implementation, especially 1.5 aligned NDCs!

Klimaschutz ist die Pflicht aller Staaten – sagt der #IGH. Er hat bestätigt: Staaten müssen Maßnahmen ergreifen, um Klimaschäden zu verhindern und eine saubere, gesunde und nachhaltige Umwelt zu ermöglichen. Ein wichtiger Meilenstein für den #Klimaschutz.

The ICJ clarifies: all states have obligations to protect the climate. To take measures to prevent damages and ensure a clean, healthy & sustainable environment. A big milestone. Under Vanuatu’s leadership, #Germany, SIDS & others initiated this request to the #ICJ.

#LCAW2025, with its over 700 events, was a strong demonstration of the drive forward to the clean economy. It was impressive to speak with the countries, cities, companies and citizens working for affordable energy, a prosperous & healthy economy and a stable climate.

Just arrived in London for the #COP30 #Global Ethical Stocktake & London Climate Action Week #LCAW to listen, engage, catalyze & build alliances to accelerate and deepen collaboration & just climate action. Important to come together in this moment. Looking forward to challenge and be inspired!

It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as State Secretary and Special Envoy for International Climate Action @germany.diplo.de 🇩🇪🌍 In my final video, I want to share two lessons for our future 🔜👇

Morgen nimmt die neue #Bundesregierung ihre Arbeit auf. Es war mir eine Ehre, seit 2022 als Staatssekretärin und Sonderbeauftragte für internationale Klimapolitik @diplo.de zu dienen. Gemeinsam im #TeamDeutschland haben wir hart gearbeitet für mehr #Klimaschutz und #Klimagerechtigkeit. 🇩🇪🇪🇺 1/2

Europe just experienced its warmest year on record—heat stress days, glacier mass loss, and widespread flooding affect us all. The #ESOTC2024 report sends an urgent message to government, business & local leaders: accelerate #ClimateAction and invest in #ClimateAdaptation to protect your people 🌡️🇪🇺

Auf dem #PCD2025 bekennen sich Minister:innen aus der ganzen Welt 🌍 zur Beschleunigung der Umsetzung des #PariserAbkommens. Paris liefert schon, aber #COP30 muss ein Wendepunkt für Beschleunigung sein! Eine globale mutirão. Co-chair Summary ⬇️ www.auswaertiges-amt.de/en/newsroom/... 1/2

Glaciers melting faster than ever threaten water supply, ecosystems & communities worldwide. #WorldWaterDay 2025 shows: #climateaction = glacier preservation = protecting 69% of global freshwater ➡️ Acceleration of action is key - in cutting GHG emissions & #EnergyTransition!

🏔️❄️ Gletscher sind mehr als Eis und Schnee, sie sind lebenswichtig: Sie speichern Wasser und versorgen Millionen von Menschen. Doch die Klimakrise lässt sie alarmierend schnell schmelzen - darunter leiden Mensch und Natur gleichermaßen. Darum: #Klimaschutz ist auch Gletscherschutz! #Weltgletschertag

ICYMI: New @IRENA data shows: current activity gets us 75% of the way to 3x 🌎 renewable capacity by 2030. But to get to 100% needs 2x current investments, incl. outside 🇪🇺 & 🇨🇳. #betd25 showed: the global interest is there. @irena-official.bsky.social www.irena.org/News/pressre...

As #BETD25 wraps up, my 3 closing messages: 1️⃣Collaboration: let’s make the time to work together & accelerate learning 2️⃣Communication: let’s tell the stories of people actually delivering #energytransition & securing the benefits 3️⃣Courage: let’s move forward boldly @greensofa-betd.bsky.social

Honoured to welcome Nigeria 🇳🇬 as Co-Chair of the Green Guarantee Group. Looking forward to 🇩🇪 & 🇳🇬 working together to address barriers to investments - incl. in cleaner, greener, & more accessible energy systems for all @greensofa-betd.bsky.social #betd25
