As the conflict in the Middle East rattles energy markets, this episode explores the connections between climate change, energy, and geopolitics. It addresses questions such as:

• What does the war in Iran reveal about the links between fossil fuels, vulnerability, and power? What lessons can be drawn?
• What does the energy transition mean for global geopolitics, and how should governments manage the 'messiness' of the process?
• How are the impacts of climate change reshaping our world, and what can be done to navigate the challenges that arise?

To unpack these dynamics, Anna and Bhargabi are joined by Arthur Snell (a former diplomat and author of 'Elemental: The New Geography of Climate Change and How We Survive It'), Michael Bradshaw (Professor of Global Energy at Warwick Business School, Associate Fellow at Chatham House, and author of 'The Geopolitics of Energy System Transformation: Managing the Messy Mix'), and Dr Beatrice Mosello (Senior Research Fellow at Chatham House).
