A good time to be studying the politics of asset revaluation driven by climate change www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/o... @jeffcolgan.bsky.social @greenprofgreen.bsky.social

Between Beijing and Brussels, there are signs that a reset could be in the offing after four tense and difficult years. China’s public statements have stressed that with “the world turning into a less stable and certain place”, its relationship with the EU is more strategically important than ever.

A remarkable transition: Kenya is Africa's leading country when it comes to renewables. In 2000 fossil fuels contributed 60% to electricity generation. Today it is 6%. In 2023 electricity was from almost 50% geothermal, 20% wind+solar and 22% hydro.

The #ACHIEVE project’s first year is nearly complete! We’ve reviewed our progress, celebrated our successes, and planned exciting next steps with renewed energy and ambition 🎉 Our 2nd newsletter, packed with updates and future plans, will be out soon! Stay tuned!

With the renewed interest in #COP reform, maybe time to re-up this #openaccess article in WIRES #Climate Change. We suggested to focus on sectoral systems to break the overall task down into manageable pieces (1/3) wires.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Okay, I have to do a thread on this pretty amazing article because it is just seriously chockers with eye-opening stats about 'direct air capture' - ie, sucking up air and trying to remove carbon dioxide from it news.mit.edu/2024/reality...

📣How to strengthen #ClimateAction by businesses, cities, partnerships & networks in turbulent times? We're calling for papers for our #ECPR2025 section (26–29 Aug, Thessaloniki). Express your interest by 13 Dec (extension). Details: see Call for Papers👇 @thisislauri.bsky.social @ecpr.bsky.social

Deze twee moties zijn exact hetzelfde. Op één woord na. Het resultaat is duidelijk: De PVV, VVD, BBB, SGP en Ja21 erkennen hier dat de islamitische gemeenschap minder waard is dan de joodse. Hebben ze de basislijn inmiddels opgesnoven?

Wat een fantastische waardering voor alles dat Jason heeft gedaan en nog steeds doet om jongeren zoals hijzelf te behoeden voor het leed dat hij heeft ervaren in de (gesloten) jeugdzorg. Hopelijk draagt ook dit weer bij aan bewustwording. En geeft het Jason een verdiend gevoel van heling.

Reading through COP29 outcome on climate finance, and have two questions re: the $300 billion target: 1) people talk about it as public money but the text states it should come "From a wide variety of sources, public and private"

www.volkskrant.nl/wetenschap/w... Sprak @pieterpauw.bsky.social en @sanderchan.bsky.social over nieuwe klimaatakkoord. Beiden óók al op BlueSky, ontdek ik nu.

Ik sprak met @volkskrant.bsky.social over COP29. De stempel van de fossiele status quo is duidelijk. I.p.v. keihard naar een koolstofarme toekomst, wordt breed ruimte gegeven om door te gaan met vervuilen en uitstoten alsof er geen urgente #klimaatcrisis was. www.volkskrant.nl/wetenschap/w...

With the UAE dialogue decision now pushed to next year, the "UAE consensus" on the energy transition, including transitioning away from fossil fuels, 3xRE and 2xEE is on life support. #COP29

Confusing plenary: 🇦🇿 #COP29 pres pushes an unjust #ClimateFinance decision (blame goes to dvped cntries), gavels adoption, hears objections from India, Nigeria, Cuba, Bolivia & LDCs, notes these comments, then moves on. See what happened to Bolivia's objection in 2010: a note in a forgotten report

#Cop29 Fiji aligns with Maldives obo of AOSIS. With $7 trillion pouring into the problem (fossil fuel subsidies) we will not achieve transition we need.

The climate talks in Baku 🇦🇿 are officially over! #COP29 opened with a bulldozing through of dangerous #CarbonMarkets and ended with a bulldozing through of an empty promise of rich countries’ legal obligations to protect #HumanRights & the planet: ciel.org/news/cop29-c... A 🧵

Many developing countries reject new climate finance #NCQG text which proposes $250billion per year by 2035. Annual adaptation costs in developing countries alone are ~$400 billion. Largest bloc of 134 developing countries (G77 & China) had sought $1.3trillion of which $600billion is grants #COP29

LDCs just "temporarily walked out" of #COP29, citing 2 reasons: 1. They haven't been consulted. AOSIS & others said the same 2. The text completely ignores those most vulnerable to climate change.

Sebastian Reyes (Radboud University, NL) at #COP29 Azerbaijan: there's still much to learn about integrity of voluntary climate action. @achieveproject.bsky.social would like to hear from you, ✏️ fill out our 5-10min survey: fmru.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... #ClimateAction #Integrity

Sebastian Reyes (Radboud U., NL) #COP29 shows concerning findings on the integrity of #ClimateAction: "we see concerning trends: effectiveness of [UNFCCC registered] initiatives is going down [...] less than half initiatives have any monitoring arrangements in place." @achieveproject.bsky.social

Who's afraid of a kufiyeh? Academics were told not to wear kufiyas and bring pro-Palestine signs to tomorrow's protest against the Dutch right-wing government's extreme cuts to higher education. We were told Israel's genocide in Palestine has 'nothing to do with' the situation here....
