We have a new paper out in PNAS. Susanna’s thread outlines our findings. The big picture takeaway is that well-designed climate education (active, personally relevant, science-based) can complement fiscal and regulatory instruments by building public support for ambitious policy!

The implication: well-designed climate education (active, personally relevant, science-based) can complement fiscal and regulatory instruments by building public support for ambitious policy. The article is open access: doi.org/10.1073/pnas... [7/9]

So grateful to have been part of this project with @susannagarside.bsky.social, @maxbradley.bsky.social and @renschazottes.bsky.social. From Rens' terrific idea, to many Zoom meetings, and finally this publication in PNAS, I can only say: collaboration with your PhD peers can be so fulfilling!

Our new article on the limits of green concertation with @lucacigna.bsky.social is out in New Political Economy (in open access - thanks to @mpifg.bsky.social🙏)

Congratulations Alex!

Two weeks ago, I defended my PhD dissertation on the making and unmaking of stringent climate policies in the housing sector! What a day to finish these four years at the @eui-sps.bsky.social!

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Radical-right parties are often linked to the “left-behind”. But supporting them when stigma is strong is costly. So who is willing to pay that cost early on, before it’s normalized? In my new WP, I argue that breaking political norms is socially stratified. 🧵👇

It’s striking how much these patterns are similar across many European counties (both the center left one and the radical right one). And yet there’s much work to be done in shifting the discourse from competing narratives that have little empirical backing.

“.. democracy often erodes slowly at first .. But with each concession, autocrats become bolder.. and reversal becomes harder. Responses that, early on, can feel pragmatic—waiting it out, remaining silent, cutting a deal—only embolden ..” @dziblatt.bsky.social www.foreignaffairs.com/germany/hitl...

Et c'est justement la semaine prochaine que devraient être publiées les premières estimations pour les émissions de GES nationales du 1er trimestre qui devraient être très mauvaises. On compte sur les politiques pour enfin réagir (et sur les journalistes pour les interroger sur le sujet).

On est juste à +1.3º. Ce n’est rien comparé à ce qui nous attend. Que signifient compétitivité, croissance, souveraineté, innovation, sécurité, travail, retraites ou démocratie à +2º? Plus le mercure grimpe, plus on recule sur la transition. Que faut-il faire pour que nos décideurs comprennent?

🚨 working paper (w. @morganlcj.bsky.social @markuswagner.bsky.social): Protesters are not judged equally - even if tactics of groups are similar. We ran an experiment in 🇩🇪 testing how people react to farmers vs. climate activists blocking roads. What we find is disturbing: osf.io/preprints/os...

There’s so much happening right now, I thought I’d put together a running thread on the dismantling of #climate and research and knowledge infrastructure in the United States 🧵

« D’Éric Ciotti à Jean-Luc Mélenchon, en passant par le chef du gouvernement, François Bayrou, un cartel de l’impunité s’ébroue pour dire qu’un tribunal qui applique… la loi causerait un trouble à l’ordre démocratique. On en est là et il faut vraiment se frotter les yeux pour le croire. »

The distance between a legal resident who's not a citizen being deported without due process and a citizen being deported without due process is a hell of a lot shorter than many folks seem to believe, and when it does happen to a citizen, just remember it started here and who was quiet in response.

The universities should form a common front to articulate the corrupt and authoritarian threat, and they should do it while they still can…. If you’re going to get hammered either way, at least stand for you values…you might be the spark that saves the country. But solidarity in numbers is key…

The list of words the Trump administration has banned from research grants is even longer than the lists I’ve seen online. Here are screenshots of the words confirmed by the NYTimes and listed in this article www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

On this note, here is a thread with recent research on what normalization is and how it happens. It includes links to references, from my work and that of others. I tried to tag the authors whenever they are on here, in case you are interested in following their work. 1/8

Having published a book recently, I found it sometimes hard to understand how the process worked (and luckily, had very kind mentors who helped). I have uploaded a short document detailing how my experience went, in case others find it helpful: www.vicentevalentim.com/_files/ugd/a...
