There is really only one 2025 Climate-Insurance Policy Year in Review that you need to read, and you bet your ass @clicabedu.bsky.social has got it from the inimitable @jordanhaedtler.bsky.social right flippin here. Read it or live with incurable FOMO. climatecabineteducation.org/wp-content/u...

A highlight of 2025 has been @clicabedu.bsky.social's partnership with @pjmfdn.bsky.social to accelerate the use of data & technology for climate policy solutions. Check out what our data engineers & tech team have been up to. Shoutout to @cbraun.bsky.social @spears.bsky.social

Say, that *is* a fun fact! Here's the receipts from @climatecabinet.org's incredible data team.

Let's goooooo

Every day, I am motivated to go to work at @climatecabinet.org because in state and local politics, true climate solutions are achievable. And we're getting it done. Thanks @whitneybauck.bsky.social @theguardian.com for this great spotlight on the critical importance of local climate leadership.

LOOK AT THIS TOOL DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH I NEEDED THIS TOOL WHEN I WAS POLICY DIRECTOR AT A STATE ENERGY AGENCY LOOK AT IT YOU CAN HAVE DIFFERENT, NEW PROBLEMS THAN I DID! NO MORE OLD PROBLEMS! ONLY INFORMATION!

You can use this new tool to answer questions like: “What kinds of Climate Risk & Adaptation bills were intro'ed in AZ last year?” “Which bills in MI's most recent session focused on Building Electrification?” “Did IL pass any ESG laws in 2025?”

HEY COOL: IT'S THE @clicabedu.bsky.social ✨CLIMATE BILL TAG EXPLORER✨ climatecabineteducation.org/climate-bill...

One thing I love about @climatecabinet.org's moneyball approach is that, in an age of billionaire oligarchs, it is inherently small-d democratic. As @emmafisher.bsky.social says here, "Smaller contributions can make a meaningful difference to level the playing field with fossil fuel money."

“Just a handful of races determine chamber control,” @spears.bsky.social said, “And when chambers in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Virginia flipped, those chambers actually then passed 100% clean energy policies.” Could not be more proud to be a part of this team at @climatecabinet.org.

1. Cars are the biggest source of climate pollution in the country. 2. Transportation is the biggest household expense after rent/mortgage. 2. State and local gov't could cut these numbers by about 25% in five years without any federal policy. Somebody solve this for me, what should we do? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

This is the 2nd near-catastrophic event caused by gas in a major downtown area where I’ve lived in recent yrs (other was gas explosion in dtown Durham, killing 2 and injuring 25, including 9 firefighters). www.wral.com/news/local/f...

as an MIT-trained science writer: being willing to ask dumb questions is a superpower

They did do it btw.

I see BYONCE is really trending now.. happy to see it making the rounds.

Launched today: the State Economic Power Project! This dives into cost of living + climate, on 2 pillars: (1) household budgets and (2) state budgets. Thank you Sarah Bloom Raskin, @jordanhaedtler.bsky.social @kostyack.bsky.social @advitt.bsky.social climatecabineteducation.org/state-econom...

TFW when Insurance is *the* key channel spreading climate risk throughout the financial system, via @climatecabinet.org's @jordanhaedtler.bsky.social with @kostyack.bsky.social and @spears.bsky.social. 2008 vibes, folks.

Today: @clicabedu.bsky.social State Economic Power Project launch shares how state financial power can help solve affordability & climate crisis together. @jordanhaedtler.bsky.social @spears.bsky.social climatecabineteducation.org/state-econom...

Lower bills, lower pollution. LFG

This is crazy. LFG!!! Climate & affordability champions for the win! @climatecabinet.org

Georgia Public Service Commission is showing 2/2 flips: Here’s some of the messaging that put Johnson over the top.

Seriously, Georgia voters are FED UP. Two statewide utility commission races absolutely crushing 2024 national numbers.

After much needed rest, it is finally sinking in what happened last Friday: the Illinois General Assembly passed some incredibly important progressive legislation, including two packages that will significantly decrease pollution and save families money. This includes a huge investment in transit.

Transformational. Rep Kam Buckner: “No other state has had the courage to say, ‘We’re going to fix this and not just patch it anymore.’ This bill creates a unified system that will replace fragmentation with coordination.” www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/30/i...

WE DID IT!!!! Transformative funding for transit, grid upgrades to make 100% possible. I am losing my mind. So proud and happy and also thank goodness ❤️ @climatecabinet.org @dave.bzky.team @michealpodgers.bsky.social @ilenviro.bsky.social

BIGGEST STATE LEVEL CLIMATE ACTION OF 2025 👇👇👇👇👇

🚨 1 day to save transit and your legislators are not on the same page. Flood the gates! Call, email, tag your State Rep & Senator on social and tell them it’s time to get the job done NOW! Look up your legislator at the link in our bio ⬆️ Call and email NOW at savetransit.org

(Illinois about to show what a 100% RPS that lowers bills looks like in the data centers age)

Virginia early vote turnout is up 50% compared to 2021 👀

Another way to understand ICE policy is as climate policy. The reactive kind instead of proactive. It's a violent answer to how our collective failures to do enough to prevent climate crises from happening manifest.

All hands on deck, folks — we gotta pass this NEXT WEEK! Call your state reps TODAY. Sign up to canvass. Sign up to phone bank. (links coming later today) We need you to get in the fight with us!

“I think that in a lot of cases, the public, legislators, governors are not aware of just how high the stakes are right now” - @dave.bzky.team @climatecabinet.org In Illinois, we’ve got 2 weeks to raise those stakes and get transit funding across the finish line - lfg heatmap.news/politics/chi...

Thank you @leniann.bsky.social for your hard work to make it happen!!

Huge!! Let’s build dense, transit oriented housing & walkable businesses! Can’t wait for broadway to be more pedestrian friendly and lively
