The current LNG crunch stresses another criticial indirect impact of the Iran war: the war in the Gulf just dismantled years of climate progress in East Asia through the panic-driven return to coal.

When we report on war, we focus on troop movements and humanitarian corridors.

In my recent interview with TRT World's Reagan des Vignes, we discussed why the environmental footprint of conflict is so difficult to erase.

The changing physics of the Arctic are the real defence threat Critical operational zones are becoming more unpredictable

The #MSC2026 report "Under Destruction" offers a powerful analysis of our fracturing geopolitical order.

The changing physics of the Arctic are the real defence threat Critical operational zones are becoming more unpredictable

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.

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…”

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.

Sustainable Security? Balancing Risks and Resources in Europe’s Climate and Defense Transition YouTube video by Oesterreichische Nationalbank (OeNB)

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...

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.

Climate, conflict and the development squeeze – Florian Krampe YouTube video by In Pursuit of Development

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.

Episode 291: Climate Insecurity, Conflict, and Europe's Expanding Risk Perimeter with Dr Florian 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.

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

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.

The experience was deeply rewarding—not in spite of the difficulty, but because of it.

I'm grateful to TEDxMidAtlantic for the opportunity and grateful to myself for continuing to challenge my own comfort.

Do hard things!

#TEDx #DoHardThings

But that simplification is also the mechanism for the platform's power. It forces you to distill your core idea.

It’s what makes complex topics accessible to a global audience and provides a stage for new perspectives.

For researchers, TED talks are a specific kind of hard. We're trained to embrace nuance and complexity.

Here, you're forced to cut, simplify, and present over-rehearsed content. That process can feel inauthentic.

In a recent video Casey Neistat distinguishes between mandatory hardships and chosen hardships.

This talk was a chosen hardship. The key about a chosen challenge is you can quit at any time, which forces you to confront why you're doing it.

Yesterday, this philosophy was tested when I stepped onto the red dot at #TEDxMidAtlantic.

It was terrifying—bright lights, a theatre full of dark silhouettes. I’ve never practiced a talk this much, or worked with a coach to train for one.

I did it. I froze once but recovered.

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.
