In my environmental justice seminar today, we discussed the extent to which research on climate justice is informed by knowledge on justice outside the climate field. This was inspired by @bcoolsaet.bsky.social et al's 2025 response to a piece by Zimm et al from 2024. 1/n

We (@crossdale.bsky.social, Christina Pantazis, @roxana-pessoa.bsky.social, Tiê Franco Brotto and I) present the first academic peer-reviewed article, studying the criminalisation and repression of climate and environmental protest as a global phenomenon. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

The rewriting of Australia’s nature laws come as a relief, yet I can’t help feel a sense of foreboding | Georgina Woods

As an alumni of Syracuse University, it's appalling that they are capitulating against a right-wing campaign against Professor Farhana Sultana for exercising her first amendment rights. Do consider signing this letter calling on Syracuse University to reinstate her docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

HEY here's a new piece for @crikey.com.au! Sparked by David Suzuki's recent comments, but more broadly in response to the recent rise of performative fatalism: the reassuring, widely popular and lazy idea that fighting back against fossil fuels is worthless www.crikey.com.au/2025/07/14/c...

UC-Berkeley has an open-rank faculty position in our incredible Climate Equity and Environmental Justice (CEEJ) research cluster.

Sydney people: Next Monday the Sydney Environment Institute kicks off a new panel series on Climate Justice. We'll talk about climate turbulence, heat inequity, the housing crisis, Indigenous leadership, community engagement, and more, with a great set of speakers. Register below.

A powerful polemic by Christine Winter @winterchristine.bsky.social on the lies and violence of the latest colonial apologists. Focused on Aotearoa New Zealand, but clearly applicable, ehem, elsewhere. www.artforum.com/features/epi...

Of course. "Mr. Zeldin’s move effectively ends three decades of work at the E.P.A. to try to ease the pollution that burdens poor and minority communities, which are frequently located near highways, power plants, industrial plants, and other polluting facilities. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/11/c...

New: Compounding Barriers to Environmental Justice. It has long been argued (and clearly demonstrated) that institutionalised racism is a key barrier to EJ. We illustrate 4 distinct, interrelated ways this is manifest: general, political, legal, and cultural. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Probably not as attractive as a paper on how to best cook egg yolk 🐣, but our Correspondence piece on climate justice is out in the February issue of Nature Climate Change @natureportfolio.nature.com trebuchet.public.springernature.app/get_content/...

I know this is the piece we're all getting excited about today. Reader, I did not love it. Yes, there's been an irreversible, if slow, shift to a clean energy economy. And the coalition has broadened and should do so further. But... www.nytimes.com/2024/12/08/o...

Absolutely brilliant project on community engagement, democracy, and transition from @SydneyPolicyLab @AmandaTatts: To get to net zero, policymakers need to listen to communities. Here's what they can learn from places like Geelong...

Good to see @CSIRO name climate adaptation as the #1 key 'megatrend'. Unfortunately, the last Aus fed govt gutted funding for adaptation research at both CSIRO and NCCARF. Time to re-fund research and support for community-led adaptation planning....

Carbon Capture is unproven, but Regulatory Capture is clearly still the winning strategy for the fossil fuel industry... Angus Taylor hands governance responsibility of clean energy regulator to chair of major gas and oil producer...

The Australian government is not only ignoring the unjust impacts of climate change on future generations, but is also actively and explicitly arguing against climate and intergenerational justice - to allow the expansion of a coal mine. Disgusting....

Final week to apply for our PhD scholarship on climate imaginaries!

Rankings aren't everything, but this one means a lot. Very happy that @SEI_Sydney contributes to this important and valued work at @Sydney_Uni. https://www.sydney.edu.au/news-opinion/news/2021/04/21/the-impact-rankings-2021.html
