Green future – risks and opportunities
The green transition will shape future world politics – but how? Last week, NUPI co-organized a workshop in Berlin on Renewable Energy and geopolitics together with the Norwegian and German ministries of foreign affairs, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), and the universities of Columbia and Harvard. The workshop focused on how a transition to renewable energy may reshape international politics. If a large-scale transition to renewable energy can be achieved, this may lead to dramatic changes in world politics as well as at the national level.

Dr. Carr also gave a talk on the theory seminar Attribution and international society in cybersecurity. Watch the seminar The Internet of Things - how do we govern it? on YouTube:
