Entering the Post-Biden Era
by Nexus25 | In this episode, Nexus25 co-lead Erin Sikorsky and guests take stock of the food-climate-security nexus one month into the second Trump Administration.

Erin and this episode’s guests sit down to discuss potential implications of a less-engaged United States - particularly when it comes to climate action, renewable energy, and investments in sustainable food systems; the current European response; and how other powers like China and the BRICS are navigating this transition.

Europe's Climate Inflection Point
by Nexus25 | In this episode, Nexus25 co-lead Nathalie Tocci takes listeners back to Europe to debrief the European Parliament elections.

Nathalie and this week’s guests discuss what these elections could mean for the EU’s foreign policy, climate ambitions, and international leadership, as well as their perspectives on the critical national elections still to come.
