The Shifting Geopolitical Order – Dr Emma Shortis | Climate Integrity Summit 2025
Dr Emma Shortis will examine the United States’ changing influence and the broader reconfiguration of the global geopolitical landscape.
As new powers and alliances emerge, the traditional dominance of the US comes into question and Australia’s unwavering allegiance to the United States risks aligning climate and security strategies with a partner that is failing to lead on the most pressing issue of our time.
Watch:
By acting more independently and forging stronger partnerships with nations and blocs to advocate for genuine decarbonisation and adaptation funding, Australia has an opportunity to play a meaningful leadership role on the global stage. By embracing this potential and asserting itself as a proactive and innovative leader in the fight against climate change, Australia can secure its own prosperity and influence in a rapidly changing world.
Presented by Dr Emma Shortis, International & Security Affairs Director, The Australia Institute
