Climate Diplomacy: Fostering Unity or Deepening Global Divides - https://lnkd.in/dBsgNJiN Diplomacy: Fostering Unity or Deepening Global Divides

Given my extensive experience and expertise in the water sector and water diplomacy, I was invited to participate in the 2024 Middle East and Mediterranean Summit, as a guest speaker in a panel discussion dedicated to water entitled “Panel 3: Shared Water, Shared Future: Building Cooperation through Water Diplomacy”. This panel will explore how water diplomacy can serve as a tool for fostering regional stability, cooperation, and sustainable development amid increasing water scarcity and environmental challenges. The discussion will focus on key transboundary water issues, such as the management of the Jordan River, Tigris-Euphrates system, and the Nile, where multiple countries rely on shared water resources for agriculture, energy, and drinking water. Panelists will explore successful examples of water diplomacy and cooperation, as well as examine ongoing disputes and the geopolitical tensions they create. Experts will also address the impact of climate change on water availability, including how rising temperatures, decreasing rainfall, and overuse are exacerbating water shortages. The session will highlight innovative approaches to water management, technological solutions, and policies that can promote equitable water sharing and environmental sustainability. By focusing on the role of international law, regional cooperation mechanisms, and the potential for multilateral negotiations, the panel aims to identify pathways toward lasting peace and security in the region, built around shared waters and shared futures. This discussion will underscore the critical importance of water diplomacy as a pillar of regional resilience in the face of growing environmental and political challenges.

Green Diplomacy: How U.S. Foreign Policy is Shaping Global Climate Action The US has become a key player in fighting climate change through its foreign policy. After initially prioritizing economic interests, the US played a leading role in the Paris Agreement and subsequent climate summits under the Biden administration. This renewed commitment has led to increased international cooperation on climate finance and ambitious climate targets from other countries. The US's "green diplomacy" fosters trust, innovation, and economic opportunities in the clean energy sector, offering a hopeful outlook for a sustainable future.

How Chinese Analysts View India’s Climate Change Diplomacy. This Issue Brief explores Chinese analysts' perspectives on India's climate change diplomacy, highlighting the potential for cooperation and challenges. At the official level, the 2009 Agreement on Cooperation on Addressing Climate Change between India and China established a framework for collaboration, emphasising the importance of joint efforts in mitigation, adaptation, and capacity building. As both nations navigate their roles within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and explore bilateral initiatives, understanding Chinese views on India’s climate strategies becomes essential. To achieve that objective, this paper discusses Chinese commentators’ perspectives on the economic, strategic, and geopolitical dimensions of India’s climate diplomacy.
