In this episode of WTF Now?, Rick Wheatley sits down with Erin Sikorsky – Director of the Center for Climate and Security and author of Climate Change on the Battlefield: to explore how a hotter, more volatile climate is reshaping security, geopolitics, and business risk.From flooded bases to melting runways and strained military deployments, Erin explains why climate change is no longer a future risk but a present operating condition. She demonstrates how extreme weather is already straining armed forces, reshaping national security planning, and presenting new opportunities for adversaries — from extremist groups on the ground to state-backed disinformation campaigns online.Looking beyond the military lens, Rick and Erin connect these trends to the boardroom: what happens when companies still make decisions based on yesterday’s climate, and how organisations that act smartly on climate turn risk into decision advantage and resilience. They also look at the wider geopolitical picture — the retreat from science and evidence in parts of the West, and how Europe and China are positioning themselves in the race for a cleaner, more secure energy system.If you’re part of an organisation trying to make sense of a world where risk is compounding faster than our institutions can adapt, this conversation is worth your time.🛎️ Subscribe for more episodes of WTF Now?🔗 Follow us around the web:🌐 Website: http://www.systems7.co💼 LinkedIn: https://shorturl.at/Eu0wY▶️ YouTube: https://shorturl.at/KTCwj🍏 Apple Podcast: https://shorturl.at/deldU#ClimateSecurity #NationalSecurity #ClimateRisk #Resilience #Geopolitics #Leadership #RiskManagement #Strategy #WTFNowPodcast
