THE DIPLOMAT'S CABINET PODCAST | THE POWER DIPLOMAT

Extreme weather is no longer just about floods and fires — it’s a mirror reflecting the cracks in our politics. In this episode of The Diplomat’s Cabinet Podcast, we examine why climate shocks rarely lead to long-term political shifts, and why mainstream parties still avoid framing them as climate issues.

Joining us is Dr. António Valentim, political scientist and Assistant Professor at the London School of Economics, whose research explores how parties respond to climate crises, why prevention may be politically unattractive, and how public opinion and activism are shaping — or failing to shape — climate policy.

If politics continues to treat climate as an afterthought, what kind of future are we hurtling toward?
