The Relationship between Climate, Strategic Competition, and Advanced Technology

The “geo” in geopolitics is focused not just on topographic features like mountains, rivers, and coastlines or on concepts of size, shape, and location of countries. It also addresses local, regional, and global patterns of climate and weather, which have long influenced agricultural opportunities and development, economic and social characteristics of particular geographies, and even industrial capacity - think wind and water power. Today, climate issues have a direct geopolitical impact through physical effects, national and international regulation, and social and corporate influence. In today’s modern economy, and in today’s shifting strategic balance, semiconductors and high-end technology sit at the nexus of strategic policy, economic and technological opportunity, and climate. In this episode of the Applied Geopolitics podcast, Rodger Baker, the director of the Stratfor Center for Applied Geopolitics at RANE, speaks with Dr. Rebecca Keller Friedman about the relationship between climate, strategic competition, and advanced technology.

Dr. Rebecca Keller Friedman has spent more than a decade gaining expertise at the intersection of disruptive technology and geopolitics. Previously the Director of Analysis at RANE, she is now an independent advisor and analyst.
