HCSS at the NATO Public Forum 2025: A behind-the-scenes look at what we brought to the table
You’ve seen the speeches, the world leaders, and the headlines from the recent NATO Summit in The Hague. But what you haven’t seen is what happened behind-the-scenes. HCSS was proud to be one of the co-organizers of the NATO Public Forum last month. While world leaders took to the stage, our dedicated team worked tirelessly to make the event run smoothly, from shaping the agenda with last-minute speaker changes, to cross-continent coordination of international panels and managing communications and media requests. We’re excited to share a few sneak peeks from the backstage world here – insights, photos, and stories from that other side of the camera by our team on the scene.
BNR | De Strateeg: De strijd om het Noordpoolgebied, ‘het wordt één van de nieuwe machtscentra van de wereld ’
Door klimaatverandering smelt het ijs in het Arctisch gebied, waardoor nieuwe vaarroutes ontstaan en waardevolle grondstoffen beter toegankelijk worden. Dit maakt de regio strategisch en economisch steeds belangrijker voor veel landen, vertellen HCSS analist Fiona De Cuyper en Tom Middendorp in gesprek met Paul van Liempt bij BNR podcast De Strateeg. Tegelijkertijd brengt deze toenemende activiteit grote klimaatrisico’s met zich mee en neemt de druk op de inheemse bevolking toe.
