In a landmark opinion, the ICJ found that phasing out fossil fuels isn’t just a scientific demand—it’s a legal imperative. IISD’s @nataliejones.bsky.social takes a closer look at what the court said on fossil fuels + what it could mean for efforts to phase them out. @suspol.bsky.social

What does the ICJ climate opinion mean for #FossilFuels? According to the advisory opinion: ➡️Production, licensing & subsidizing of fossil fuels could breach int’l law ➡️Phase out standards vary with state capabilities @nataliejones.bsky.social | @suspol.bsky.social www.sussex.ac.uk/research/pro...

Comment: The fragility of the JET-Ps should be attributed to the means by which they seek to achieve these objectives, the institutions tasked with delivering them, and the global context in which they operate.

nice thread outlining @lslothuus.bsky.social's new article on a geopolitical approach to fossil fuel phase-out

⚠️Who should phase out fossil fuels first?⚠️ As countries confront the need to ditch oil, gas, and coal to meet climate goals, one question looms: Which nations should move first and fastest? @lslothuus.bsky.social offers a geopolitical approach to answering this question 🧵

The UK gov has just published new guidance for environmental impact assessments for oil & gas projects. Despite reports/industry spin, it includes a genuinely robust, credible approach to assessing the emissions caused by burning oil & gas. Let's take a look! 🧵 www.heraldscotland.com/news/2525207...

Our planet can’t afford a single new fossil fuel project — yet big commercial banks spent over $429 BILLION on fossil fuel expansion in 2024 — in some cases enabled by support from public development banks. We demand that #DefundClimateChaos now. See the report 👉 bankingonclimatechaos.org

⚠️ NEW PAPER ⚠️ @peternewell.bsky.social and I have a new piece out in Environmental Politics on the politics of phasing out fossil fuels in the UK 🇬🇧 - and what it means for fossil fuel phase-out policies globally 🧵

Fossil fuel companies will try to sue states that ban new or existing production. When I speak with powerful actors in energy policy, this fear is a central concern in how governments think about the risks of phasing out fossil fuels. Here is an important intervention in how to reduce those risks:

New guest post! Learning from the past while moving forward? Supply-side climate policy in the UK, a blog from @peternewell.bsky.social and @freddiedaley.bsky.social environmentalpoliticsjournal.net/guest-posts/...

I'm a big fan of @peternewell.bsky.social 's work on the critical need to limit *production* of fossil fuels (bans, phase-outs, licensing, etc.). Nice summary of his new paper w/ @freddiedaley.bsky.social here, including addressing energy security, power structures, & building coalitions for success

Just Energy Transition Partnerships were touted as innovative instruments of progress when they launched in 2021. 4 years on, the #JETPs are faltering in their aim of transforming coal-reliant countries into clean energy pioneers. More in report bit.ly/JETP25 and 🧵 below

🚨 Last week, we revealed that UK football fans are often forced to drive to away games because of limited train availability... Even though a majority would prefer to travel sustainably. Read "Stranded Fans": www.cooldownclimate.org/resources/st... Full story. 👇

It's been a pleasure seeing this project develop and discussing the policy implications with @freddiedaley.bsky.social Football fans are travelling all over the country and what they find is what anyone else attempting the same does - sometimes public transport works great, too often it doesn't

The idea that new oil & gas fields are a key lever for economic dynamism in the UK is completely at odds with the reality of the North Sea basin's inexorably declining contribution to the UK's economic & energy security--not to mention the costs of escalating climate change. Some thoughts: /1

Great piece from @suspol.bsky.social colleague @lslothuus.bsky.social on the implications of Greenland’s election for its leadership on leaving fossil fuels in the ground

What does this week's surprising election result in Greenland mean for its fossil fuel future? I explain this in a new article for @theconversation.com Election winners Democrats open to abolishing ban, but unlikely to happen until after Greenland independence theconversation.com/greenlands-f...

Is the UK really a climate leader? The success of its recently launched Global Clean Power Alliance depends on domestic action and leadership. But this is looking increasingly fragile. @peternewell.bsky.social and I discuss this for The National Interest nationalinterest.org/blog/energy-...

“These bans are more than political gestures – they are a crucial step in reducing demand for emissions-intensive goods and aligning public policy with climate science.” Completely agree. The public get it too - we found clear support for bans on high polluting vehicles in our deliberative research
