    by Nexus25 | In this episode, Nexus25 co-lead Nathalie Tocci takes listeners back to Europe to debrief the European Parliament elections.

Nathalie and this week’s guests discuss what these elections could mean for the EU’s foreign policy, climate ambitions, and international leadership, as well as their perspectives on the critical national elections still to come.

Michael is joined by World Food Programme Berlin Director Dr. Martin Frick and Sudanese climate activist Nisreen Elsaim to discuss just how successful they were in addressing global food security - and what to keep an eye on in the multilateral space this spring.
