The global energy transition is unfolding amid escalating geopolitical tensions, record-breaking temperatures, and trade wars. This podcast examines the U.S.-China rivalry over critical minerals, the implications for supply chains, and the challenges faced by resource-rich countries in the Global South.

This episode explores the high stakes and pressing questions shaping our energy and climate future.
