The global power struggle is real, and not just on the level of geopolitics. A parallel war is being waged over how we fuel our economies – and shape our shared future. The spring 2026 edition of Corporate Knights looks at where increased competition is rapidly altering traditional dynamics, and how the politics of decarbonization are causing a realignment in the old world order. We look at how low-carbon technologies are shaking things up across the globe, why great-power rivalry threatens to stall the green transition, and what happens next for international climate policy now that we’ve crossed the 1.5°C threshold of warming.
