THE CLIMATE GEOPOLITICS : Who Pays, Who Profits and Who Gets Left Behind

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Climate change is not just an environmental crisis. It is a geopolitical revolution. The warming planet is redrawing borders, reshaping alliances, and redefining the balance of power between nations. The Arctic is thawing, opening new shipping routes and triggering a scramble for resources already being contested by NATO, Russia, and rising powers. The rivers that sustain billions are being dammed, diverted, and weaponised by upstream states. Climate refugees are moving in the tens of millions, transforming migration politics from Europe to North America. And the green transition has created a new great game for lithium, cobalt, rare earths, energy grids, and industrial dominance. In The Climate Geopolitics, Nicholas Holt reveals how global warming is becoming one of the organising forces of international relations. This is not a book about carbon budgets or climate science. It is a book about power - who will profit from the energy transition, who will pay for it, and who will be left behind. Inside, you will discover: - The Arctic thaw: ice, resources, military competition, and the race for the roof of the world- Water wars: how dams, river diversion, and drought are becoming weapons of statecraft- Climate refugees: the displacement crisis that could transform global politics- The green finance revolution: how trillions in bonds, subsidies, and carbon markets are reshaping global capital flows- Carbon colonialism: how the West offshores emissions, extraction, and environmental costs to the Global South - and calls it progress Three scenarios for the climate order: 1. Cooperative Transition: shared investment, technology transfer, and climate justice2. Green Nationalism: every nation for itself in the scramble for clean-energy resources3. Climate Chaos: failed states, resource wars, and the collapse of international cooperation For investors, policymakers, strategists, and citizens who need to understand the geopolitics of the planet's most consequential transformation, The Climate Geopolitics is an essential guide to the new world being forged by heat, scarcity, migration, and green power.
