Hi bsky people - if you care about how the EU seeks to fund all things "social-ecological transformation", which institutional architecture has emerged out of it, and why it is both contested and an unrealized promise: please have a look at our special issue on the politics of sustainable finance 👇

In my several years of central bank research, I never thought I would read about a central banker's George Clooney-like handsome features and his homoerotic appeal to his fellow technocrats. If you can't guess who that is : journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1111/...

is this what cognitive dissonance in stock & bond markets look like?

With transnational fin governance institutions rolling back their climate work, it's really alarming to see that all we have is voluntary efforts and capacity building from the likes of the NGFS. Simply not enough to coordinate decarbonization: greencentralbanking.com/2025/07/18/g...

A very important contribution to the lore on green central banking!💯

With the flood of bad news, it can be hard to get perspective on just how much damage Trump is doing. So we made a chart to get across Trump's whole-of-government approach to wrecking the climate: at least 82 actions from 20 different agencies in 52 days. 🎁 link: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/feat...

Huge news from Turkey: Ekrem İ̇mamoğlu, Istanbul’s popular mayor and Erdogan opponent has been detained alongside a long list of his political allies.

In #Niedersachsen droht dem 30-jährigen Êzîden Badi Juki S. aus dem Shingal die #Abschiebung in den #Irak. Teil seiner Familie wurden, wie der @flueratnds.bsky.social berichtet, vom IS ermordet. Vor zwei Jahren, Anfang 2023, hatte der Bundestag den Völkermord an den Êzîd:innen anerkannt.

A week prior to Trump's inauguration the Federal Reserve quit the Network for Greening the Financial System, the NGFS. I wrote about what the NGFS is and what they promote within the green central banking debates for PPE Sydney.

Federal Insurance Office, part of the US Treasury, has also left the NGFS. Their statement is more acerbic in its wording compared to the Fed's, mentioning how the NGFS' roles are different than other int'l technical intitiatives (it isn't!) and their work on monetary policy is transgressing.

„Was die Merz-CDU unterschätzt: Die AfD ist mehr als eine Übersteigerung konservativer Haltungen. Sie will gar nicht mit der CDU koalieren, zumindest nicht als Juniorpartner. Die AfD will die CDU bedeutungslos machen.“ schrieb Carina Book schon im August ‘23: www.akweb.de/ausgaben/695...

In light of the Fed's resignation from the NGFS, you can see here that they were never that much interested to begin with. I'm glad this amazing tool by @jdeyris.bsky.social is finally public for all to use!
