The author wrote that mines laid for deterrence could remain in the ground for decades, giving climate change time to move them. They said flooding after the Kakhovka dam was destroyed in 2023 shifted mines and forced deminers to return to land they had already cleared. #mines #climatechange #demining #UA
The author said the BBC had reported that a crowd stormed a data centre compound on Batam, Indonesia, demanding water. The author added that the data centres had a dedicated pipeline while nearby homes lacked water, and raised the question of how to decide who should receive water first before the reservoirs ran low. #Air #KrisisAir #Indonesia #ID
The author wrote that climate security had broadened considerably in recent years, but questioned whether it was losing its core. They said this was their strongest impression from the Berlin Climate and Security Conference that week. https://t.co/nxJQPV4RbP https://t.co/ebzCDhM8BK #Klimasicherheit #Klimawandel #Umweltschutz #DE
The author argued that framing climate change and conflict as an inevitable chain of events denied societies agency. They wrote that security risks arose through specific pathways that policy could interrupt, referring to a talk they gave at TEDxMidAtlantic.
The author said they and Mely Caballero-Anthony wrote for Nikkei Asia about what El Niño meant for ASEAN, raising the question of how water and heat should factor into decisions about where AI was built. https://t.co/Ftjun33cYQ #AI #ElNiño #ASEAN
The author wrote that Malaysia handled about one-eighth of the world’s chip assembly and testing, and said Johor had already asked water-cooled data centres to wait for water until mid-2027, before the current El Niño. #Malaysia #ChipIndustry #DataCentres #MY
In conflict-affected places, water is power, legitimacy and identity. Treat it as a technical problem and you can fix the pipes and still make the politics worse. My colleagues and I call that the boomerang effect.

This week Trump said he had told his administration: "let's not send out the diesel". The US is Europe's biggest supplier. Electrify for the climate or because of Washington. Either way, it is how Europe absorbs the next shock before someone else collects on it. #Trump #Electricity #EUEnergy #US #EU
Climate is not chapter six of the risk report. It is the physical ground every other plan stands on. You cannot take Russia, cyber and a physical world that no longer holds still in turn. Put them all in the middle of the table and design from there. https://t.co/3meKrOXU5y #ClimateChange #RiskManagement #Sustainability #RU
Climate change is on the multilateral reform agenda. It should be the test of it. Lula, Costa, Ruto and Carney make the case in the @FT. Climate gets one mention. Human security risks of today become hard security risks of tomorrow. There are no hard security solutions. #ClimateChange #MultilateralReform #HumanSecurity #BR #KE #CA
A small hydro station in rural Nepal shifted gender norms more than a decade of donor programming had managed. Not because anyone designed it that way. #TEDx @TEDTalks #ClimateSecurity https://t.co/NHEaLtb3Iw #GenderEquality #Hydropower #SustainableDevelopment #NP
