On @ddpinitiative.bsky.social's new report, @aliciaszhao.bsky.social told ICN recent US federal climate policy rollbacks have created uncertainty around delivery of US commitments under the Paris Agreement, but subnational players can drive emissions reductions: insideclimatenews.org/news/0610202...

If there was ever a time to call your Senator, this is it. Voting has begun on the GOP plan to cut off health care for working-class Americans and slash taxes for the wealthiest.

The role of subnational climate action and leadership is critical to meet #ParisAgreement goals. For the U.S., @CtrGlobSust research finds that non-federal actors can make major differences on #climatechange, even when faced with federal inaction. #SB62 go.umd.edu/subnationala...

This is just f'ing awesome: tiny little solar power plants are sprouting on German balconies. A *million* of them now! This needs to be legalized in the US, ASAP. I want my own balkonkraftwerk.

Check out our new report on the economic and health impacts associated with federal clean energy rollbacks across 50 states.

Despite lawsuits and funding freezes, hundreds of cities and states are refusing to slow down on climate action. Why? Because they’re already seeing the benefits – and the risks of doing nothing are too high.

Hey, while you weren't looking, Virginia passed a law to enable virtual power plants in the state! V. cool.

Today, House Republicans are unveiling their plan to increase energy bills and pollution for everyday Americans, just to give billionaires another tax break. A summary of their proposals. THREAD! 🧵

Deep decarbonization is needed in all sectors, but current efforts to mitigate freight transport emissions are insufficient. New research produced a novel approach to improve policy analyses and help transport policy planners boost national ambition and action. Learn more: doi.org/10.1080/1469...

You might have missed this, but it’s important. The Senate Parliamentarian sides with GAO that Congress cannot undo California’s clean car rules using the Congressional Review Act. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

This is not an exaggeration: illegally gutting this program will cause Americans to freeze to death in their homes.

The clean energy transition is a necessary step toward improving public health in the United States. Our new study in @cp-oneearth.bsky.social finds that an all-of-society approach to addressing climate change can improve air quality and health across every U.S. state: www.cell.com/one-earth/fu...

putting this call out again: are you a climate or enviro scientist whose work has been paused due to the change in admin? is your job impacted by the IRA/BIL freeze? do you work in decarb and have concerns about your job stability? hit my line: [email protected] i’m on signal too, dm for info.

Very much worth a watch if you have not yet seen the PM’s brief and moving speech to Americans and Canadians. “From the beaches of Normandy …to the streets of Kandahar, we have fought and died alongside you during your darkest hours. We're always there, standing with you."

“MTA Chair Janno Lieber said the reduction in traffic has allowed some of the agency’s buses to move faster than their schedules account for. Lieber said he’s considering boosting bus service as a result.” 🚌🚌🥳🥳 gothamist.com/news/manhatt...

🚨New paper alert! 🚨Excited to share this commentary on synergies between climate action and health, led by @weipengclimate.bsky.social. authors.elsevier.com/c/1kTSe9C~Iu...

🚨 🚀🌍 Today, the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law is launching three online tools – the Climate Backtracker, the Inflation Reduction Act Tracker & the Silencing Science Tracker – to keep tabs on the Trump administration’s climate rollbacks & anti-science actions: https://buff.ly/4jsf5HJ 🧵⤵️

Check out our new jointly authored paper on @naturecomms.bsky.social evaluating pathways for the 2035 NDC. The political landscape has evolved since these scenarios were run but they show what is possible with a mix of strong federal, state, and local policy. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New research on the US #NDC in @naturecomms.bsky.social 📣 A new multi-model study, led by @ctrglobsust.bsky.social, shows expanded federal & state climate/energy policies, beyond current policies, could achieve 56-67% economy-wide emissions reductions by 2035: nature.com/articles/s41467-025-55858-2

New research on the EPA’s finalized power plant greenhouse gas standards📣 A new nine-model study in Science found that the EPA's power plant rules could reduce U.S. power sector carbon emissions by 73-86% by 2040, compared to 60-83% without the rules: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adt5665

New research on EPA’s finalized power plant greenhouse gas standards📣

The US 🇺🇸 is the third country to have formally submitted its 2035 NDC (after UAE and Brazil). The emission reduction target range of -61-66% in 2035 is relatively large, but at the higher end fairly ambitious. Here a few graphs to put the target into context. 1/4

How can the United States deliver on its new 2035 #NDC without strong federal climate leadership? CGS’s new analysis finds that strong non-federal climate action can deliver 54-62% GHG emissions reductions by 2035 across a range of federal climate ambitions: go.umd.edu/StrongNonFederal2035Action
