Event: The Indian Ocean Region in a Contested World (opens the original)

Event: Pacific Climate Mobility: Pathways to new Partnerships (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Intensifying El Niño events, displacement, and compounding security challenges are reshaping the region, even as global attention has been diverted by energy crises and fossil fuel disruption.
