🧵(1/2) Trump announces sanctions on Russia's two largest oil companies. Whether this is just performative or will be withdrawn after next call from his handler in the Kremlin, remains to be seen. However, it may be useful to know more about these two behemoths which produce over half of Russian oil.

#Climate-related security risks are not gender-neutral; they intersect with existing social, political and economic inequalities, shaping people’s exposure to risk, capacity to adapt and inclusion in peacebuilding.

Gender remains inconsistently addressed in climate policies, while climate risks are largely absent from women, peace and security frameworks. This new thematic fact sheet from SIPRI and @nupinytt.bsky.social provides recommended actions.

The BRI isn’t really a thing in the MENA - but you wouldn’t know that from U.S. think tank reports. Neil Ketchley, @olejacobsending.bsky.social, and I analyzed 3000 of them. We show the “China threat” is used to repackage old U.S. foreign policy concerns under the banner of “great power competition»

When we analyze international politics, we take many things for granted – including the idea that the world is governed by a balance of power and "anarchy," meaning that no one stands above states. But where do these assumptions come from? More from

ASEAN megacities face congestion, air pollution, traffic safety issues. Public transport could help remedy all three + mitigate climate change. But in the ASEAN countries' NDCs, only 2.2% of targets covers it. 6 of 10 ASEAN country NDCs make no mention at all. link.springer.com/article/10.1...
