Climate politics sounds increasingly polarised. But in Europe, support for climate isn’t driven by die-hard supporters or opponents. It tends to be shaped by a large “conditional middle” (33%).

Very excited to share the release of our data-based report series – “What do people think and want?” - focusing on air pollution perceptions across four cities facing high levels of air pollution (Accra, Delhi, Jakarta and Johannesburg). ib.ethz.ch/research/air...

Delft joins The Hague & Utrecht in banning #fossilfuel ads in public. Read more about how these bans challenge #norms and #climateaction in this commentary by our colleague @thijsbouman.bsky.social Bouman, Jan Willem Bolderdijk & @ekeithsmith.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

There is a new Executive Order that is closely related to many of the topics promoted in the science reform movement. It deserves a close read as it will surely have implications for how some promoted reforms are implemented in policy and practice. My hot take 🧵 www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Great inequalities persist in air quality monitoring. People in rich countries are 12x more likely than to have monitoring. But that doesn’t mean we need to wait for more monitors to reduce air pollution… ⬇️ new paper with Camille de Lauriere and Ella Henninger in PNAS : www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Public supports fossil fuel ad ban: new study finds twice as many Europeans want to ban fossil fuel ads as oppose such a move www.desmog.com/2025/03/21/s...

A small favor to ask for the hive mind of air pollution people 👋. I’m looking for an archive of the US Embassy monitoring data (previously on AirNow.gov). Does anyone by chance know where a copy of these data still exists? Many thanks in advance!

Day 6 of survey data collection in townships around Johannesburg with the absolutely amazing students from Wits (Geography,Archaeology, and Environmental Studies) Project focuses on air pollution awareness, protective behaviors and citizen demands for mitigation in lower income neighborhoods.

Widespread public support in leading middle-income countries for equivalent sustainable supply chain policies. New #OA findings in Nature Communications with Dennis Kolcava, Thomas Bernauer and myself www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Interested in policy solutions to air pollution? Want to pursue a PhD in Environmental Politics at ETH-Zurich? We are advertising 2 PhD positions, focusing on AQ monitoring and citizen preferences to air pollution solutions across the global south. Apply👇 jobs.ethz.ch/job/view/JOP...

Interesting in social tipping, how to identify the likelihood of a system to tip, and how agency can shape our societal conditions? Then come on by to my talk in Bern on Monday (02.10, 16:00-18:00,Oeschger Center). Hoping for a lively discussion and critical re-assessment of this emerging field.

Hi all 👋, I’m new here. Looking for recs for environmental social science and climate science/politics feeds. Quant methods, public opinion and general curiosities are also always welcome. Many thx in advance and hoping this new place is better than the old one…
