Summary - SH

1) Geopolitics today is a high-stakes chessboard where power blocs are hardening and smaller states are pushing back: China, Russia, and North Korea flaunt unity against the West, Pacific Island nations are shutting out both Washington and Beijing to assert autonomy, and resource wars are shifting to boardrooms with mega-mergers like Anglo-Teck reshaping critical minerals supply. Add in Europe’s political volatility, central banks hedging with gold, and climate finance emerging as a new arena of competition, and the world looks less like a stable order than a contest of survival and leverage. 2) Climate change is no longer a distant threat but a present global crisis — melting glaciers are raising seas, heatwaves are crippling economies, wildfires are consuming forests, and floods are displacing millions. From food insecurity to water wars, collapsing biodiversity to climate refugees, every nation is now entangled in a web of risks that no border can contain. The challenge is brutally simple yet politically complex: act together with urgency, or face a planet reshaped by chaos.
