It was a whirlwind of fun, reminiscing, and thoughtful conversations about the state of the world. Thank you @ShashiTharoor for making the trip and coming home to @FletcherSchool
1/5 It has been a profoundly emotional three days for me at the @FletcherSchool ; a whirlwind of memory, gratitude, and an almost overwhelming sense of completion. To return to the very halls I first entered as a wide-eyed nineteen-year-old in 1975, and to stand there half a century later as the Commencement speaker, is an experience for which words are completely inadequate.

First American casualties of Operation Epic Fury. Please honor their memory and keep their families in your heart. xitter.cf/CENTCOM/status/2028120…
CENTCOM Update
TAMPA, Fla. – As of 9:30 am ET, March 1, three U.S. service members have been killed in action and five are seriously wounded as part of Operation Epic Fury.
Several others sustained minor shrapnel injuries and concussions — and are in the process of being returned to duty. Major combat operations continue and our response effort is ongoing.
The situation is fluid, so out of respect for the families, we will withhold additional information, including the identities of our fallen warriors, until 24 hours after next of kin have been notified.
What is the role of the United States in international affairs? Is it creating a vacuum or a void? Is it a disruptor? I tackle this question with a focus on #climate #change in the new winter issue of @ForeignPolicy tinyurl.com/3f5rvpy2
Brazil has declared #COP30 to be the "implementation" COP. You might wonder, how are countries doing on implementing their climate targets?
Six new policy briefs from @policy_climate provide answers here: tinyurl.com/3tpkwvau
The six countries are: #Brazil #China, #India, #Indonesia, #Mexico, and #SouthAfrica. Of course implementation gaps can be found in places like the #USA (!) too, but our study focused on this set of countries.
policy gaps remain that must be addressed if China is to achieve net zero. We identify #stringency gaps, #coverage gaps, and #implementation gaps. Full article available open access here: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
With co-authors @liu_hengrui and Fang Zhang from @policy_climate @TuftsUniversity @FletcherSchool, @robbieorvis and Mingshu Deng from @EnergyInnovLLC and Xuan Xiaowei of the DRC.
It’s hard to imagine @FletcherSchool without you @tomdannenbaum. You’ve made important contributions to the school and our wider community. We look forward to remaining connected through collaborations in research and our Center for International Law & Governance.
Today is my final day on the faculty of the @FletcherSchool
I have spent 8 years mystified at how fortunate I have been to work with such extraordinary colleagues and inspiring students. I am filled with gratitude for the privilege.
This is a special place. I will miss it.
🙏
Early morning walk this morning in #WashingtonDC and moved by the eternal words of Abraham Lincoln that “government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from this earth.”
Joe Nye was a key influence for me and generations of others. I will remember him not only for his compelling, world-altering theories, but also for his leadership, kindness, friendship, and respectfulness. He will be missed.

Delighted to welcome to Delhi and to India, the new Dean of my alma mater, The @FletcherSchool of Law and Diplomacy, @kellysgallagher
Thank you to the @CarnegieEndow for hosting an important conversation on bipartisanship & U.S. foreign policy. Grateful to Senator @ChrisCoons for his insights & to @DanDrezner for helping lead the discussion. Thoughtful engagement is critical as the U.S. navigates global challenges.
I am looking forward to this conversation with @ChrisCoons and @dandrezner at @CarnegieEndow on Thursday where we will explore the possibilities and limits of #bipartisanship in U.S. foreign policy today. And hope to see many @FletcherSchool alumni there!
As the U.S. navigates a new chapter in foreign policy under Trump 2.0, what role will bipartisanship play? Can Democrats and Republicans find common ground on global engagement, and how should they manage internal divisions on key issues?
Join @ChrisCoons, Kelly S. Gallagher & @dandrezner of @FletcherSchool for a discussion on the future of U.S. foreign policy, congressional oversight, & America’s global role.
🗓️ Feb. 20 @ 4:30 PM EST in person & live online: carnegieendowment.org/events…

Quoted in this @SominiSengupta piece asking how it could be in the US interest to retreat on clean energy…

My take on #COP29:
2024 is shaping up to be the hottest year for Earth on record, as reported by the WMO (wmo.int/publication-series/s…). This year, the Earth exceeded 1.5 degrees C above pre-industrial global average temperatures for the first time. This is notable because 1.5 degrees C is the lower limit that previous negotiators had set in the context of the 2015 Paris Agreement.

China seemed to anticipate demands that it make transparent contributions but got away with only needing to make voluntary commitments. Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang said in his speech that “Since 2016, China has provided and mobilized funds of more than Yuan 177 billion ($24.50 billion), effectively supporting other developing countries in coping with climate change.” According to spglobal.com, “China's annual average contribution was around $2.7 billion. In 2022, developed countries contributed a total of $115.9 billion in climate finance, with the US government providing about 5%, or $5.8 billion”spglobal.com/commodityinsigh…

As we look ahead to #COP30 in Brazil and updated #NDCs from all countries it is crucial to identify country-level policy gaps and implementation gaps. Please see @policy_climate's national climate policy inventories climatepolicylab.org/nationa… and related policy briefs.
