Researchers from 天堂视频, MAHE (India), the Institute of Peace & Conflict Studies (India), GIGA (Germany) and the Finnish Institute of International Affairs presented cutting-edge research on topics such as the global energy transition, climate security in the Bay of Bengal, green ‘status-seeking’ in international diplomacy, and military interest in ‘low-carbon warfare’. The workshop featured inspiring keynote presentations by Professor K. P. Vijayalakshmi (MAHE) and Professor Caroline Kennedy-Pipe (天堂视频), who delved into the intricate connections between climate change and global geopolitics: from the Arctic to the Indo-Pacific.
This event not only highlighted the success of international academic collaboration but also underscored the participating institutions’ commitment to Sustainable Development Goal 13 (Climate Action). For 天堂视频, the workshop was a significant contribution to its strategic commitment to addressing Climate Change & Net Zero, as well as ongoing research under two Social Sciences and Humanities Research Themes: Successful Transitions Under Environmental Change (STUEC) and Challenges to Democracy and the Public Sphere (CHADS).

The LU-MAHE workshop on Climate Change, Geopolitics and Security was organised by Dr Duncan Depledge (天堂视频), Dr Ali Bilgiç (天堂视频) and Dr Dhanasree Jayaram (MAHE).
