The Impact of the Iran-Israel Conflict on the Global Sustainability Industry

The direct military exchange between Iran and Israel in mid-2025 marks a crucial strategic shift, transforming a decades-long "shadow war" into a phase of open state-on-state confrontation. This escalation is far more than a regional geopolitical crisis; it is a systemic stress test for the global sustainability movement. The conflict fundamentally challenges the assumptions underlying business, investment, and policy strategies focused on sustainability, forcing stakeholders to confront a new reality where geopolitical risk can no longer be separated from the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) agenda.

This report will argue that the conflict has created a complex landscape fraught with profound risks, systemic challenges, and paradoxical opportunities that will redefine sustainable business and investment strategies. This conflict forces a critical evolution, from a movement often driven by idealism to one that must be grounded in pragmatic, resilient, and geopolitically aware strategies. This analysis will detail the cascading impacts across energy markets, supply chains, environmental integrity, and investment priorities. As such, this report aims to provide a framework and strategic recommendations for business leaders, investors, and policymakers in navigating this new era of volatility, where resilience becomes the core principle for achieving sustainable and inclusive growth.

Section 1: Escalation of Conflict in the Middle East: Context and Key Events

The escalation that occurred in 2025 was not a sudden event but the culmination of tensions that had been rising for years. The shift from proxy warfare and covert operations to direct state-on-state military confrontation marks a dangerous new chapter in Middle Eastern security dynamics, with far-reaching global implications.

From Proxy War to Direct Conflict

For decades, the rivalry between Iran and Israel largely played out in the "gray zone"—through proxies like Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza, as well as through covert operations including cyberattacks, sabotage, and targeted assassinations. However, a series of events from late 2023 to 2025 systematically dismantled this doctrine of "plausible deniability." Key triggers included the assassinations of senior Iranian officials and their proxy leaders, such as Quds Force commander Mohammad Reza Zahedi in Damascus in April 2024 and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran in July 2024.  

These events culminated on June 13, 2025, when Israel launched a large-scale air assault codenamed Operation Rising Lion. This attack was the most significant escalation in the history of the two countries conflict, explicitly targeting the heart of Irans nuclear and military infrastructure. This move effectively ended the era of shadow warfare and initiated a phase of open state-versus-state confrontation.  

The Strategic Nature of the Attacks

The attacks launched by Israel, with direct participation from the United States, were not indiscriminate but carefully calculated operations to achieve specific strategic objectives. The goal was twofold: to cripple Irans nuclear capabilities and to significantly degrade its conventional military capabilities.

First, targeting nuclear infrastructure was the top priority. Irans most heavily guarded uranium enrichment facilities—Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan—were primary targets. The Fordo facility, built deep underground to protect it from conventional airstrikes, was specifically targeted with advanced munitions. The Pentagon confirmed the use of 14 30,000-pound "bunker buster" bombs, designed to penetrate deeply buried targets. Although Iran claimed to have moved nuclear material before the attack and that the damage was minimal, satellite imagery and U.S. intelligence assessments indicated "monumental damage" to the sites, especially the underground facilities.  

Second, the attacks aimed to dismantle Irans ability to project military power. The air campaign systematically targeted air defense systems, missile launch pads, weapons production facilities, and command and control centers across Iran. Furthermore, the attacks also targeted key individuals, including the assassination of senior military commanders like Irans wartime Chief of Staff, Ali Shadmani, just days after his appointment. The purpose of these actions was to create strategic paralysis, disrupt the chain of command, and reduce Irans ability to launch an effective counter-attack.  

Irans Response and International Reaction

In response, Iran launched a significant counter-attack, firing a barrage of ballistic missiles and drones into Israeli territory. These attacks targeted major cities like Tel Aviv and Haifa, as well as strategic sites including the headquarters of Israels Military Intelligence Directorate and Mossad facilities. Iran deployed some of its most advanced missiles, such as the Khorramshahr-4 (also known as Kheibar Shekan), capable of carrying multiple warheads. Although Israels layered air defense systems, like the Iron Dome, intercepted most of the projectiles, some missiles managed to penetrate, causing damage and casualties, with at least 24 people killed and over 1,000 injured in Israel.  

The direct involvement of the U.S. in the attack on Irans nuclear sites was a crucial turning point, effectively internationalizing the conflict. Iran strongly condemned the U.S. action as a "grave violation of the UN charter and international law" and called for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council. Meanwhile, Irans traditional allies largely remained on the sidelines, leaving Tehran in a relatively isolated position. On the other hand, major powers like Russia and China issued stern warnings, condemning the U.S. attack and warning of the risk of escalation into a wider regional conflict that could draw in other global powers.  

This shift from shadow war to direct confrontation signifies a fundamental change in the risk calculus for the entire Middle East. This is not just a typical increase in tensions; it is the application of a new strategic doctrine where open confrontation is considered a viable option. Historically, this conflict was managed through proxies and covert operations to avoid full-scale escalation. However, the scale and overt nature of the 2025 attacks, coupled with unambiguous U.S. participation, have eliminated plausible deniability. The implications are immense: the geopolitical risk models used by businesses and investors operating in or dependent on the region are now obsolete. The probability of sudden, large-scale disruptions to shipping routes, energy supplies, and supply chains has increased exponentially, demanding a fundamental reassessment of all regional exposures.  

Section 2: Shocks in Energy Markets and Global Supply Chains

The escalation of the Iran-Israel conflict instantly sent shockwaves through global markets, with the most immediate impact felt in the energy and supply chain sectors. Uncertainty about the duration and intensity of the conflict has created a highly volatile environment, threatening global economic stability and highlighting deep vulnerabilities in the worlds trade arteries.

Oil Price Volatility and Risk Scenarios

Immediately after news of the military strikes broke, energy markets reacted swiftly. The price of Brent crude, the international benchmark, surged by more than 10%. This spike reflects what analysts call a "geopolitical premium"—an additional cost factored into oil prices due to the increased risk of supply disruptions in the Middle East. To understand the potential further impacts, Oxford Economics and other analytical institutions have modeled several scenarios based on the level of conflict escalation.  

The first scenario, a Mild Shock, assumes the conflict remains contained but results in a tightening of international sanctions against Iran. In this case, Irans oil production could decrease by about 1% of the total global supply. The impact would keep Brent prices elevated, around $75 per barrel, which would keep global inflation slightly higher for longer.  

The second scenario, a Moderate Shock, envisions continuous retaliatory strikes that ultimately halt all of Irans oil exports. This would remove about 4% of the global oil supply from the market. The consequences would be much more severe, with Brent prices likely stabilizing near $90 per barrel until 2026. This shock would deal a mild blow to global GDP growth, but the main impact would be felt in higher inflation, potentially delaying interest rate cuts by major central banks like the U.S. Federal Reserve.  

The third scenario, a Severe Shock, is what the market fears most: the closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran. This strait is the worlds most vital chokepoint for oil trade; about 20% of the worlds total oil consumption, or roughly 20 million barrels per day, passes through it daily, mostly heading to Asian markets. A military blockade of the strait would effectively freeze oil exports from Kuwait and Qatar, and severely limit exports from Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia. In this catastrophic scenario, analysts project that Brent oil prices could skyrocket to $120-$130 per barrel or even higher, potentially surpassing the all-time high of nearly $150 per barrel reached in 2008. A price shock of this magnitude would trigger a severe global inflation crisis, significantly weaken real incomes, and could trim global GDP by 0.3% to 0.8% by 2026.

Vulnerability of Shipping Routes and Supply Chains

The impact of this conflict extends beyond commodity prices to the physical logistics of global trade. The threat to the Strait of Hormuz does not exist in a vacuum; it exacerbates a pre-existing crisis in another critical shipping route, the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. Since late 2023, attacks by Iran-backed Houthi groups on commercial vessels have caused a drastic drop in traffic through the Suez Canal, which handles about 12-15% of global trade and 30% of the worlds container traffic.  

The combination of these two crises creates what can be described as a "dual chokepoint crisis." This simultaneously threatens the two most crucial maritime routes connecting Asia with Europe. In response to the threat in the Red Sea, many shipping companies have rerouted their vessels around the Cape of Good Hope in Africa. This alternative route, while safer, is significantly longer, adding 10 to 14 days and about 4,000 nautical miles to the journey. This rerouting has in itself led to a sharp increase in fuel consumption, shipping costs, and  

CO2​ emissions.  

The cascading effects of these disruptions are already being felt across industries. Several automotive plants in Europe have announced temporary production halts due to delays in receiving essential parts from Asia. This crisis particularly tests the resilience of supply chains for green technology. Critical components for solar panels, wind turbines, and electric vehicle (EV) batteries—largely manufactured in Asia—now face longer transit times and higher costs to reach markets in Europe and North America. A Chinese lithium-ion battery manufacturer reported that the alternative route via Africa nearly tripled the transportation cost of a container from China to Rotterdam.  

A deeper analysis reveals a systemic fragility in global trade infrastructure. The "resilience" built in response to the Red Sea crisis—namely, the ability to reroute around Africa—becomes irrelevant if a new and simultaneous threat emerges in the Strait of Hormuz. These are not two separate problems, but one interconnected, reinforcing systemic failure. The Cape of Good Hope route, already strained by increased traffic, would become extremely congested and inefficient if it had to accommodate diverted traffic from both chokepoints. The global fleet capacity, for both container ships and oil tankers, is finite and cannot be easily doubled in a short time.

This exposes the illusion of supply chain resilience based solely on simple rerouting. True resilience demands a more fundamental restructuring, including the regionalization of supply chains, diversification of manufacturing hubs, and investment in alternative logistics capacity. The Iran-Israel conflict has made the business case for this difficult and expensive transition far more urgent.

Section 3: The Energy Transition Paradox in an Era of Uncertainty

The Iran-Israel conflict creates a sharp paradox for the global energy transition. On one hand, the resulting instability dramatically strengthens the long-term strategic argument for accelerating the shift to renewable energy. On the other hand, short-term supply shocks and price spikes are triggering a pragmatic resurgence of fossil fuels, creating a divided and tense energy landscape.

Driving Energy Security Through Renewables

Ironically, one of the most significant impacts of the conflict may be the fundamental strengthening of the case for clean energy. The crisis vividly highlights the geopolitical vulnerabilities inherent in an energy system dependent on fossil fuels. Extreme oil price volatility and supply insecurity caused by tensions in one geographic region underscore the strategic advantages of renewable energy sources. Renewables, such as solar and wind power, are inherently local, not vulnerable to shipping route blockades or the political decisions of other nations, and offer long-term price stability through Power Purchase Agreements that can be fixed for decades.  

This situation is very similar to what happened after Russias invasion of Ukraine in 2022. That crisis triggered a fundamental shift in energy policy thinking in Europe and the United States. The narrative of "energy security through decarbonization" became a powerful policy driver, leading to ambitious initiatives like the RePowerEU program in Europe and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in the U.S., both designed to accelerate the deployment of clean energy and reduce dependence on Russian gas. The current conflict is likely to have a similar effect. As fuel prices at the pump soar, the economics of electric vehicles become much more attractive to consumers. Similarly, for industries, high and unpredictable energy costs make investments in energy efficiency and process electrification a wiser business decision.  

The Resurgence of Fossil Fuels

However, this pro-clean energy narrative is counterbalanced by short- to medium-term pragmatic realities. In the face of real or perceived supply shocks, the primary priority for governments is economic stability and taming inflation. This inevitably leads to political pressure to increase domestic oil and gas production to stabilize prices. The U.S. President will likely push domestic drillers to increase production, and other producing nations will be urged to maximize their output.  

Furthermore, the price signals from the market are powerful. High oil prices make exploration and production projects for fossil fuels, previously considered marginal or uneconomical, suddenly very profitable. This risks diverting significant investment capital from long-term renewable energy projects to short-term profit opportunities in the oil and gas sector. A "dash for gas" and oil to meet immediate demand and capitalize on high prices could slow the pace of the energy transition, even if long-term climate goals remain unchanged. Major oil companies, which may have been reluctant to make large capital investments in the past, now have a strong financial incentive to do so.  

This dynamic creates what can be described as a "dual-track" energy investment landscape. We are likely to witness a simultaneous acceleration of investment at both ends of the energy spectrum. On one hand, there will be an increase in long-term strategic funding, from both public and private sectors, for renewable energy, driven by national energy security considerations and the desire to decouple from geopolitical volatility. On the other hand, there will be a rush of short-term, opportunistic capital into fossil fuel assets, driven by high commodity prices and the urgent need for energy supply.  

These two motivations are not mutually exclusive and will run in parallel. A government can devise a green hydrogen strategy for the next 20 years while simultaneously issuing new short-term drilling permits to lower gasoline prices for voters. The implication is the creation of a paradoxical and potentially highly volatile investment environment. Companies in the sustainability sector are not just competing with each other; they must also compete for capital, talent, and policy attention with a resurgent and highly profitable fossil fuel industry. To succeed in this environment, clean energy companies must sharpen their value proposition, not only emphasizing environmental benefits but also aggressively promoting their advantages in price stability, geopolitical resilience, and long-term supply security to attract the strategic capital they need.

Section 4: The Direct Environmental Impacts of Modern Warfare

Beyond the market and geopolitical impacts, the direct military confrontation between Iran and Israel leaves a tangible and often permanent trail of environmental damage. Modern warfare, with its use of precision munitions and targeting of complex industrial infrastructure, releases hazardous pollutants into the environment and generates an enormous carbon footprint, both of which are at the core of sustainability concerns.

Toxic Pollution from Attacks on Infrastructure

Analysis from monitoring bodies like the Conflict and Environment Observatory (CEOBS) confirms that attacks on military and industrial sites have led to the release of various toxic substances. This damage creates significant environmental and health risks for surrounding populations.  

Attacks on airbases, such as those at Hamdan and Kermanshah, as well as ammunition depots in Khojir and Qom, release a diverse range of pollutants. These include jet fuel, solvents, heavy metals from munitions, and unexploded ordnance that can contaminate soil and groundwater for a long time. Specifically, the use of firefighting foam to extinguish fires at attacked airbases risks releasing PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), known as "forever chemicals," into the environment. These chemicals are highly persistent and have been linked to various health problems.  

A more alarming risk arises from attacks on nuclear and energy infrastructure. Attacks on uranium enrichment facilities in Natanz and Isfahan carry the risk of radioactive and chemical contamination. According to CEOBS and IAEA reports, damage to thousands of gas centrifuges could release uranium hexafluoride (UF6​) gas. When this gas comes into contact with moisture in the air, it transforms into highly corrosive hydrogen fluoride acid and toxic uranyl fluoride gas. Although the IAEA reported no signs of widespread radioactive contamination around the sites after the attacks, they confirmed damage to key buildings and the possibility of contamination within the sites themselves.  

Additionally, attacks on oil and gas infrastructure, as reported at a refinery in Haifa and storage facilities in Tehran, have caused massive fires. These fires release thick plumes of smoke containing various hazardous pollutants, including fine particulate matter (  

PM2.5​), nitrogen oxides (NOx​), sulfur dioxide (SO2​), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and dioxins. In dense urban areas like Tehran, which is geographically prone to smog buildup, this additional air pollution can drastically worsen air quality and pose serious respiratory health risks to millions of residents.

The Hidden Carbon Footprint of Military Activities

Beyond toxic pollution, armed conflict is one of the most carbon-intensive activities on the planet. However, the greenhouse gas emissions it produces are often uncounted and unreported, creating a significant "emissions gap" in global climate efforts.

Estimates suggest that global military activities as a whole account for about 5.5% of the worlds total annual CO2​ emissions. If the worlds militaries were a country, they would be the fourth-largest emitter in the world. These emissions come from various sources: the massive consumption of fossil fuels to power fighter jets, warships, tanks, and logistics vehicles; the highly energy-intensive manufacturing processes for weapons and ammunition; and the emissions associated with the large-scale reconstruction of destroyed infrastructure after conflicts end.  

The problem is compounded by the fact that military emissions often receive exemptions in international climate reporting frameworks, such as the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). This exemption, originally negotiated for national security reasons, means that the full carbon footprint of conflicts like the one between Iran and Israel remains largely hidden from public scrutiny and climate accountability. Thus, war not only causes direct environmental damage but also silently undermines global efforts to tackle climate change.  

Section 5: Shifting Investor Sentiment and the ESG Landscape

The Iran-Israel conflict has sent tremors not only through commodity markets but also through the broader investment landscape, particularly concerning Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles. This escalation has sparked a fierce debate about investment priorities and accelerated the evolution of the ESG framework itself, from a focus on compliance to a sophisticated risk management discipline.

The Priority Debate: National Security vs. Sustainability

One of the most immediate impacts of rising geopolitical instability is a shift in capital flows. Investors, naturally seeking safety amid uncertainty, have begun reallocating funds to sectors deemed essential for national security. Stocks in the defense, aerospace, and cybersecurity sectors have seen a significant increase in interest, as markets anticipate increased defense budgets by nations worldwide.  

This reallocation of capital creates direct competition for funds that might otherwise be directed toward ESG or climate-focused investments. This places ESG-conscious investors in a difficult dilemma. On one hand, ESG principles often lead to the exclusion of companies in the defense sector due to inherent risks, such as involvement in controversial weapons, potential for corruption, and a high carbon footprint. On the other hand, an argument is emerging that supporting a strong defense industry is necessary to maintain stability and counter aggression, which can be seen as a prerequisite for long-term sustainability. This debate is forcing investors to reconsider their rigid exclusion policies and grapple with the question of whether investments in defense can be justified within a "sustainable security" framework.  

The Resilience of Sustainable Investing: A Test of Investor Conviction

Despite these challenges, data indicates that core interest in sustainable investing remains strong. Morgan Stanleys "Sustainable Signals" report for 2025 reveals that nearly 90% of individual investors globally remain interested in sustainable investing, a level largely unchanged despite recent market and geopolitical volatility. The primary driver for those planning to increase their allocation to sustainable investments is growing confidence that these investments can deliver competitive financial returns, followed by an awareness of the tangible impacts of climate change.  

However, the nature of this interest is evolving. The conflict is serving as a catalyst that is accelerating a shift in the ESG landscape. Investors are no longer satisfied with "green" labels or superficial ESG scores. They are now demanding that sustainability strategies demonstrate tangible resilience. A sustainable portfolio or company must be able to withstand geopolitical shocks, supply chain disruptions, and commodity price volatility. Consequently, there is a flight to quality within sustainable investing. Business models with built-in resilience—such as circular economy companies that reduce reliance on raw materials, innovations that improve resource efficiency, or cost-competitive renewable energy with stable pricing—are likely to be valued more highly by the market.  

The conflict is effectively forcing the maturation of ESG investing, pushing it to evolve from a framework largely driven by ethics and compliance into a sophisticated, forward-looking risk management discipline. Traditionally, ESG focused on Environmental (emissions, waste), Social (labor practices, human rights), and Governance (corruption, board structure) factors. Geopolitical risk was often treated as a separate, external factor. However, the Iran-Israel conflict clearly demonstrates how geopolitical events have a direct, material impact on all three pillars: Environmental (oil spills, emissions from war), Social (humanitarian crises, displacement), and Governance (sanctions, state stability).  

Sophisticated investors now realize that a company can have a perfect ESG score on paper but be extremely vulnerable to a supply chain shutdown caused by conflict in a critical region. A solar panel company that is highly dependent on a single shipping route passing through a geopolitical chokepoint cannot be considered truly "sustainable" in a volatile world.  

Therefore, investors are beginning to integrate geopolitical risk analysis directly into their sustainability assessments. They are asking critical new questions: How diversified is your supply chain? How much exposure do you have to political instability in key markets? How resilient is your business model to commodity price shocks? As a result, "Geopolitical Resilience" is becoming a de facto, unofficial but crucial fourth pillar of ESG. This redefines what a "good" sustainable investment looks like. Companies can no longer just report their carbon footprint; they must now demonstrate strategic resilience. This will separate the true leaders from the followers in the sustainability space and will demand a new level of due diligence from asset managers.

Section 6: Strategic Recommendations for Resilience in a New Era

In the face of a global landscape fundamentally altered by the Iran-Israel conflict and its accompanying uncertainty, a reactive approach is no longer sufficient. Business leaders and investors in the sustainability sector must proactively adopt strategies designed to build resilience at the core of their operations and portfolios. The following recommendations outline practical steps for navigating this new era.

Building Green Supply Chain Resilience

The green technology sector, which includes renewable energy, electric vehicles, and energy storage, is particularly vulnerable due to its high dependence on complex and concentrated global supply chains. The dual crises in the Red Sea and the Strait of Hormuz serve as an urgent warning to overhaul the architecture of these supply chains.

1. Aggressive Diversification and Regionalization: Dependence on a single country or region for critical raw materials (such as lithium, cobalt, and rare earth minerals) or component manufacturing (like solar panels and battery cells) is an unacceptable strategic risk. Companies must actively diversify their supplier base across different geographies. Moreover, they should pursue "regionalization" or "near-shoring" strategies, establishing manufacturing or assembly facilities closer to their end markets. This reduces reliance on long and vulnerable shipping routes, though it may require significant initial investment.  

2. Investment in Supply Chain Visibility and Intelligence: In an era of uncertainty, information is power. Companies must invest in advanced technology platforms that provide end-to-end visibility into their supply chains. The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for predictive analytics, blockchain for secure traceability, and IoT sensors for real-time monitoring can enable companies to identify potential disruptions—be it a port closure, rising geopolitical tensions, or an extreme weather event—much earlier. This capability allows for an agile, data-driven response, rather than a panicked reaction to a crisis that has already occurred.  

3. Strategic Inventory Management: The "just-in-time" (JIT) model, designed for maximum cost efficiency, has proven to be extremely fragile in the face of disruptions. Companies need to shift to a hybrid "just-in-case" (JIC) model. This does not mean returning to wasteful inventory hoarding, but rather involves maintaining strategic buffers for the most critical components in geographically secure locations. These buffers provide the necessary leeway to withstand short- to medium-term shocks without halting production.  

Navigating Geopolitical Risk in Sustainable Portfolios

For investors, the challenge is to build portfolios that not only meet sustainability mandates but are also robust enough to survive and even thrive amidst geopolitical turmoil.

1. Strategic Diversification Across Assets: As recommended by leading financial institutions like J.P. Morgan, portfolio resilience can be significantly enhanced through thoughtful diversification. This goes beyond traditional equity diversification and includes allocations to various geographic regions, sectors that may perform well during tensions (such as defense and cybersecurity, which can act as a hedge), and uncorrelated asset classes like gold, infrastructure, and certain hedge fund strategies designed to navigate volatility.  

2. Prioritize Companies with Inherent Resilience: Focus investments on companies whose business models inherently reduce exposure to geopolitical and commodity risks. This includes leaders in the circular economy, which minimize the need for new raw materials; companies with strong "local-for-local" production models; and innovators developing technologies for resource efficiency, material substitution, or energy security. These companies are not just "doing good" but are also structurally more resilient in the face of a fragmented world.  

3. Active and Scenario-Based Risk Management: The "set-it-and-forget-it" approach to risk management is obsolete. Investors and asset managers must adopt a dynamic, forward-looking approach. This involves continuous scenario planning, where portfolios are stress-tested against various geopolitical, economic, and environmental shocks. By understanding how a portfolio would perform in different possible futures, investors can proactively adjust allocations, implement hedging strategies, and remain agile as the global landscape continues to evolve.  

Conclusion

The direct conflict between Iran and Israel that erupted in 2025 is not a temporary crisis that will pass, but a fundamental shift in the global risk landscape. This event has brutally exposed the deep vulnerabilities in the interconnected global energy and trade systems. It has created a paradoxical dynamic for the energy transition, where the need for security simultaneously spurs both renewable energy and fossil fuels. It has inflicted direct and lasting environmental damage, highlighting the hidden ecological costs of modern warfare. And most importantly, it has forced a critical maturation of the ESG investment framework, pushing it beyond idealism to embrace the pragmatism of resilience.

The new imperative emerging from this analysis is crystal clear: the era in which sustainability could be viewed in isolation from hard geopolitics is over. For businesses, investors, and policymakers in the sustainability ecosystem, the path forward demands a new paradigm—one where resilience is no longer just a trending buzzword, but the central organizing principle of every strategy, operation, and capital allocation.

The ability to anticipate systemic shocks, absorb their impact, and adapt quickly to changing circumstances will be the key determinant of success in this new era. The sustainability movement must now prove that it can thrive not only in times of peace and stability, but also in a world defined by volatility and conflict. This is the new, unavoidable reality.
