The international landscape is poised for significant shifts as the world braces for President Trump’s return to office on Monday. Questions loom over the future of U.S. climate policies and global cooperation under his administration. Meanwhile, in Gaza, a fragile ceasefire has brought a temporary halt to hostilities, but the prospects for lasting peace remain elusive. These developments underscore the urgent need to examine the geopolitical, environmental, and security dynamics shaping our world.
This week’s newsletter brings you in-depth analyses, from the implications of selective multilateralism and energy transitions to the intricate challenges of Sahel. We also explore the winners and losers of Gaza's ceasefire through a critical lens, alongside engaging multimedia content for a broader understanding of these pressing issues.
