The US seeks price floors with allies to build ex-China mineral supply chains. If US allies and trading partners start pricing US political risk alongside Chinese leverage, Western minerals coordination will get much harder to sustain. My latest at @piie.com. www.piie.com/blogs/realti...

Overlap and fragmentation in the global governance complex of sustainable finance, by Stefan Renckens & Christian Elliott

Check out CSL's Director Jeff Colgan on the latest CBC Radio’s What On Earth podcast as he dives into why oil still fuels conflict, from the U.S.’s recent attack on Venezuela to global geopolitics, and asks if a renewable future might be more peaceful. 🎧🌍 podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/w...

US attack on Venezuela is, among other things, a regrettable turn towards petro-imperialism. My take at @goodauth.bsky.social goodauthority.org/news/trump-m...

This new paper provides important insights into climate policy sequencing to see if technological investments (ie policy carrots like the Inflation Reduction Act) make punitive policies (ie policy sticks) more effective. Unfortunately, the short answer is: NO. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The good news? Nearly all the world’s advanced economies are now *cutting* their emissions, while still growing their economies. (It had little to do with the Paris agreement per se, though. It was due to better technology.) The bad news? We need to much more. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

We’ve made a graphic of just 180 lowlights of Trump's all-of-government attack on climate, giving a sense of how his minions woke each morning in 2025 asking fossil fuels just how high they needed to jump that day gift link from @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

The Miami Herald tracked 16,569 flood complaints from over 12,000 locations in Miami-Dade and Broward over the last 11 years, and found 32% were outside the newly-expanded 500-year flood zones scheduled to go into effect as early as 2026: www.miamiherald.com/news/local/e...

Well, it’s official. Johnson Legal is off to the High Court of Australia for the first ever climate case to be heard before the Court. We are representing Hunter Valley residents defending their win against coal company MACH Energy. Follow the case here 👇👇👇 www.johnsonlegal.au/newsfeed/mac...

New paper just dropped about sticks and carrots in climate policy: “Policy carrots alone do not dramatically reduce future emissions. Only with policy sticks are there unambiguous signals to substantially shrink the size of incumbent fossil fuel industries.”

"When buyers can’t see the risks up front, they may take on more exposure than they can afford — homes that become too expensive to insure, with costs families didn’t anticipate, and, worst of all, natural disasters they hadn’t yet thought of in personal terms." www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/o...

This year's UN Climate Change Conference (COP30) highlighted a harsh reality: the optimistic era of climate diplomacy has given way to a more fragmented and competitive world, in which climate change is taking a back seat to other concerns, write @erinsikorsky.bsky.social and Siena Cicarelli.

"Conclusion: ...Russian disinformation exploits and exacerbates the climate crisis in myriad ways...communities, media stakeholders, and government officials at all levels will need to be ready to anticipate and recognize these tactics." Good review. councilonstrategicrisks.org/2025/12/01/p...

Households face annual costs of roughly $400–$900 from climate change—mainly from disasters, higher insurance, and energy costs—with lower-income families and certain regions hit disproportionately, from @kclausing.bsky.social, Knittel, and @cwolfram.bsky.social www.nber.org/papers/w34525

Rhode Islanders have shown they believe in solar. Policymakers need to step up to address gaps. Mircea Gherghina, @climatesollab.bsky.social postdoc, tells Rhode Island Current RI should focus on local solar, strong incentives, and stable policy to boost renewable adoption.
