A country's NDC (Nationally Determined Contribution) ambition is influenced by the ambition levels of its peers, finds ‪@herminevc.bsky.social. #Climate ambition converges among peer countries based on democracy levels, regional location and geopolitical affinity 👫 Read more ⬇️

I'm very happy to see my paper on peer groups and climate ambition published in @climate-policy.bsky.social I analysed whether there is a relationship between a country's NDC ambition, and the ambition levels of its peers. (spoilers: there are some!) doi.org/10.1080/1469...

🔥 New How Green Is Your Deal? episode out! 🎙️ @earsomj.bsky.social and @franziskapetri.bsky.social discuss how EU climate leadership and climate diplomacy might be affected by geopolitical shifts and the new Trump Presidency Available on Spotify and Apple Podcast - even with video! Links 👇

Can EU trade agreements bolster climate action? @carolinebertram.bsky.social & @herminevc.bsky.social examine how commitments to effectively implement the Paris Agreement raise costs,strengthen duties &foster ambition. Will dispute settlement mechanisms deliver?👉 www.greendealnet.eu/Strengthenin...

🌎🌡️ Big news: The EU-Mercosur trade agreement was finalised yesterday—despite pushback from member states and environmentalists 🌱 @herminevc.bsky.social & I have just published research on the legally binding commitment to effectively implement the Paris Agreement present herein (1/4) 👇

Caroline Bertram and I just published a new paper! In this open access article, we explore the role of EU trade agreements in bolstering the Paris Agreement's obligations (a wordy🧵) link.springer.com/article/10.1...

1. Here's why I'll never use AI to assist my research or writing: A. I don't want to know exactly what I'm looking for. I mean that when I start researching a topic, I want to remain open to its contradictions and paradoxes, and to the unexpected paths that might lead off it. 🧵

👂what's that? You want to start your week with a thread about how the Jevons Paradox is often misused to imply that technological innovations will necessarily result in greater environmental damage? I got you covered! THREAD!

Highlighting the efficacy and revenue recycling potential of carbon pricing increases support, especially in emerging market economies. Moreover, people adopt more negative views of subsidies for renewable energy and low-carbon technologies when the salience of their costs is increased.

nice paragraph on environmental impacts in this! It is the aggressive, panicked and wide-eyed force-injection of chatbots into literally everything that is driving the ballooning energy depravity of this technology.

As many of us are moving to this platform, I've created a list of researchers active in global environmental governance. It might be a useful starting point, and I'll continue adding to it as I discover more go.bsky.app/7sZRvzU

Time for the @bsky.app community to see one of my favorite visualizations of climate change... "Shifting Distribution of Land Temperature Anomalies" by svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5211/ ⚒️🧪

What is causing the atmospheric CO2 concentration to growth (light blue bars)? It is all the fossil CO2 emissions (brown) we dump into the atmosphere (a little LUC too), with the land (green) & ocean (dark blue) sinks struggling to keep up. More figures: robbieandrew.github.io/GCB2024/

Finally jumping ship in search of a new algorithm! I'm a PhD researcher working on global climate governance, the Paris Agreement, and climate ambition. Looking forward to follow anyone working on climate, politics, or science communication in general!
