Nord Stream Leaks: Discussing New Climate Security Threats

Eurasian Climate Brief
Updated:
Four leaks were detected last month in the gas pipelines linking Russia to Europe; Nord Stream 2 and Nord Stream 1. In all likelihood, the incidents were an act of sabotage.

In this episode, we discuss the leaks’ environmental and geopolitical impacts with Sascha Müller-Kraenner, the CEO of Deutsche Umwelthilfe (Environmental Action Germany), a leading environmental, nature conservation, and consumer advocacy organisation.

Are the leaks the methane bomb we fear and what can we do to fix them? Moreover, could these events prompt governments to take climate security - and energy security - more seriously?

… we have a small favor to ask.

As you may have heard, The Moscow Times, an independent news source for over 30 years, has been unjustly branded as a "foreign agent" by the Russian government. This blatant attempt to silence our voice is a direct assault on the integrity of journalism and the values we hold dear.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. Our commitment to providing accurate and unbiased reporting on Russia remains unshaken. But we need your help to continue our critical mission.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just 2. It's quick to set up, and you can be confident that you're making a significant impact every month by supporting open, independent journalism. Thank you.
