Elemental : Arthur Snell
Arthur Snell is an expert on the interaction between geopolitics and climate change with a degree in History from the University of Oxford. He has over 30 years’ experience in conflict zones and fragile states through the Middle East and Africa and has advised governments – including Ukraine during the current conflict – on a range of security and conflict-related issues. He is also an Associate Fellow of the Royal United Services Institute, the world’s oldest think tank, a former British Ambassador, and has hosted numerous podcasts which have had millions of downloads.
In Elemental, Arthur describes how the climate crisis is already affecting the lives of millions of people. As natural disasters and increased scarcity shake the established world order to its core, he reveals that an alternative future is still possible.
In this groundbreaking study Arthur Snell visits rapidly changing societies to show how we can
live on a warming planet. He presents a vision in which Africa powers Europe with solar energy,
where autocratic oil states are no more, and new shipping routes across the melting Arctic bring
Asia, Europe and North America closer than ever before. In Russia, huge areas of highly fertile
land will be exposed by the melting ice for whoever can seize it, while China's stranglehold on
rare minerals looks set to make it the world's leading superpower.
‘An extraordinary mastery of geopolitics, combining years on the ground in the most
challenging places, a raw instinct for politics and a deep ethical concern for the world in the
face of climate catastrophe. A masterpiece.’ RORY STEWART
