Sophia Kalantzakos' scholarship focuses on how the climate crisis impacts global power politics. Her book China and the Geopolitics of Rare Earths, focuses on resource competition between the major industrial nations (U.S., E.U., Japan) and China. In this interview with Via Sarfatti25, Kalantzakos warns that the era of hyper-competition particularly between the U.S. and China will negatively impact efforts to effectively act on the climate crisis. Sophia Kalantzakos is Global Distinguished Professor of Environmental Studies and Public Policy at New York University and a long-term affiliate at NYU Abu Dhabi.
