Episode Title: 🇳🇴Green Realpolitik in a Fatherless World🇳🇴
We continue the BRICS & Geopolitics Series on Heads Talk® with a former Norwegian Government Minister, now a renowned political commentator, green advocate, veteran Chief Negotiator and Diplomat to explore the world’s shifting balance of power.
My guest, Erik Solheim, is a statesman who has shaped landmark environmental laws, led peace talks across continents, and driven global reform from Oslo to Nairobi.
He served as the sixth Executive Director of the UN Environment Programme and Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations, leaving a lasting imprint on international environmental policy. Today, as President of the Belt & Road Green Development Initiative, he sits at the nexus of diplomacy, sustainability, and geopolitics. Together, we discuss the evolving relationship between the US and BRICS nations, with focus on China and India , including what can only be termed as a “marriage of convenience” between the two, and where that partnership may lead.
We also discussed how environmental diplomacy is becoming the new language of power, how everything is diplomacy, and what a “fatherless world” really means for the global order.
Such a fascinating hour with my guest. Recorded just after that infamous Global South summit and the European leaders’ meeting with the US President.
We’ve already agreed there’s much more to come, so look out for another conversation with Erik soon...
