    Arctic Heat
    Jun 27 2024
    The Arctic is warming nearly four times faster than the rest of the planet, serving as a critical climate indicator. The 2023 Arctic Report Card documented the hottest summer in centuries, with severe impacts like wildfires, ice melt, and high sea temperatures, trends continuing in 2024. Are we locked into continuous warming? Are there tipping points? Can we act now? Despite bleak prospects, large-scale adaptation initiatives in the Arctic and Antarctica are essential. Tero Mustonen, a Finnish environmental leader, scientist, fisherman and Tällberg-SNF-Eliasson Global Leadership Prize recipient, is dedicated to these efforts.

    India Votes!

    India's recent elections saw 640 million voters and a mixed outcome. Prime Minister Modi's BJP won a third term but lost its majority, needing coalition partners. Meanwhile, the political opposition, led by Rahul Gandhi, gained strength. Did Modi win or lose? Did voters reject his Hindu nationalism? What was this election really about? It’s India, so definitive answers are elusive. But our guest today on New Thinking for a New World, can surely point us in the right direction. Vishakha Desai is a widely respected Asian scholar focused on art, culture, policy, and women's rights. Listen as she unpacks the election and its consequences — and then tell us what you think.

    Deal of the Century?
    May 31 2024
    The past eight months in the Middle East have been marked by significant turmoil, including the horror of October 7th, ongoing violence in Gaza, civilian casualties across the region, and rising tensions between Iran and Israel. Amidst this chaos, American diplomats are pursuing a bold diplomatic solution: a three-way agreement where the U.S. provides a defense guarantee for Saudi Arabia, which would sign a peace treaty with Israel, leading to the end of the Gaza war and a commitment to the two-state solution. This episode of New Thinking for a New World features Neil Quilliam, a British expert on Saudi Arabia, discussing the potential and challenges of this ambitious plan.
