Not only is Europe contending with the kinetic threat posed by Russia\\u2019s war of aggression against Ukraine, but emerging threats \\u2013 including climate change, AI, cyber, quantum computing, food and water shortages, and advanced robotics \\u2013 are increasingly becoming threat multipliers.
