Welcome to the Reconfiguration!
Hi there! 👋
Thanks for visiting A World Reconfigured, a substack about Climate Change and the brave new world that’s forming underneath our feet.
My name is Arod and I’m excited to have you on board a wild ride🚅 into a world changed by the increasingly chaotic climate that surrounds the planet we inhabit. Each post, each content series, each news update will be an arm-chair detective’s guide into how climate change is rewiring the global economy, the geopolitical landscape, our livelihoods and just about anything else.
I know, I know, macro analysis can be annoying, vague and boring, so my promise to you is that this substack will be fun, relevant and specific. It will also be accompanied by emojis🧊, gifs and AI-generated imagery to help you visualize (and laugh) as we try to unpack what I think is an exhilarating set of developments to the world we live in.
So if you’re excited about climate change and the future of the world we live in, sit tight, relax and… subscribe👇
What’s This Reconfiguration You’re Talking About?
I like to think of the Reconfiguration as the ripple waves of a speedboat tearing the waters:
The Reconfiguration, in this substack, is the result of climate change causing ripple effects, with each ripple being a changing system or area of our lives. For example, climate change is driving Ice🧊 melt that is opening new sea routes and exposing new natural resources, leading to geopolitical shifts.
The Reconfiguration is a hidden (though not conspiratorial!), bottom-up process that affects pretty much every system we use. In some cases, it’s pretty obvious. In others, not so much. I’m here to explore the roads less traveled on and discuss how the changing climate is changing our lives long term.

We’re in this journey together.
Think of us as explorers, traversing the frontiers of climate change together. Week by week, we'll travel across changing landscapes, looking for clues about how our world is transforming. From the melting Arctic to emerging climate data markets, from insurance companies running for cover to tech companies finding new opportunities - we're on a mission to uncover how climate change is reshaping our world.
What’s In It For Me?
Honestly I hope it’s enjoyment, but to be more specific, you’ll:
🎯 Discover hidden opportunities in our changing world, from Arctic shipping routes to emerging climate markets (and trust me, there are plenty!)
🧩 Understand how complex changes are reshaping our world - but in a funny, simple way
🔮 Get a front-row seat to industries and regions being reconfigured by climate change (spoiler alert: there’s a lot more than you think!)
