Events
IDEAS events aim to provide the public, policymakers, and professionals with diplomatic insight. Our events include public lectures, debates, policy workshops, and international conferences.
Upcoming Events:
Report Launch: Strengthening the Representation of Women in Diplomacy: Lessons from the Field | 5 March, 6.30-8pm
This launch event will present key findings from the report and bring together practitioners, policymakers, and researchers to reflect on lessons from the field and discuss pathways for change. The event offers an opportunity to engage in an open, informed discussion on strengthening women’s representation and leadership in diplomacy.
How Climate Reshapes the World: Climate as a Catalyst of International Change | 17 March, 6-7pm
Climate change is no longer just an environmental issue—it is a force reshaping global politics, economies, and the balance of power. From the collapse of ancient civilizations to the upheavals that followed periods of climate and environmental instability have repeatedly influenced international relations, triggering changes in trading patterns, increasing migration and conflict, and catalyzing domestic upheaval. What can these historical moments teach us about today’s rapidly warming world—and about why some polities weathered instability better than others? LSE IDEAS proposes to examine the ongoing impact of the energy transition through a series of events aimed at unpacking key features of this emerging world in the making and the role that the energy transition has in that process.
