“The postwar geopolitical order rested on three pillars: American hegemony, the fossil-fuel energy system, and an open, multilateral trading order. America has now attacked each pillar at the foundation of its hydrocarbon global order.”

"For the first time in two centuries, the West is no longer the leader in future technology, but the follower."

BRICS export ties with the #US have weakened since 2000, except for #India.
While others pulled back, India’s exports to the US have quietly grown.

The liberal trading order has been weaponized; security, not efficiency, is the new watchword. Yet fragmentation narratives belie resilience. New from @70sBachchan and me at @polycrisis @phenomenalworld phenomenalworld.org/analysis…

The biggest problem in climate finance today is not derisking per se. It's that policymakers' insist on "unlocking" the private sector in emerging markets without making any efforts to fix the global financial system that warps how investment flows in the first place.

The problem with "mobilizing private capital" to fight climate change in the Global South is that it's way harder than policymakers make it sound. Institutional investors can't do it!
