Interesting find, although classifying environmental protest as 'cultural' strikes me as odd. Climate change is dangerous for both human rights and the economy, and requires an economic transformation of big corporations to address it

Timmermans benadrukt in zijn email aan de @groenlinks-pvda.bsky.social leden wederom dat de fusie een 'voldongen feit' is. Dan heb ik ook een 'voldongen feit': de primaire onderbouwing van de fusie ('meedoen in de strijd om de macht') blijkt bijzonder wankel, om niet te zeggen: afwezig...

Zo, burgerplicht weer vervuld. Gestemd voor een duurzame economie en ontspannen samenleving. Dat zouden meer mensen moeten doen #TK25

🌍💰 The world is burning – and banks are cashing in. From 2021–2024, global banks channelled $1.6 trillion to fossil fuel firms driving new carbon bombs that push emissions beyond the world’s carbon budget 11× over – even as experts warn it could run out in four years. 🔗 Read the story below:

When central banks were asked to "do smth" about climate, the Fed sat it out, the ECB experimented then retreated but the PBOC planned green and brown money at scale. geoeconomic.substack.com/p/central-ba...

Het wereldwijde uitstootbudget is bijna op, toch investeren ING en Rabobank nog altijd miljarden in bedrijven met fossiele projecten die extreem veel nieuwe CO₂-uitstoot veroorzaken. Daarmee kopen we geen toekomst, maar fossiele afhankelijkheid, waarschuwt de directeur van Milieudefensie.

Een groene boodschap voor derde weg sociaal democraten

Late stage capitalism meets the misguidedness of GDP accounting: when one big chunk of growth is a technology bubble responsible for huge greenhouse gas emissions and another big chunk is cleaning up the mess caused by those emissions

From FaS to FAZ! The paper "From Adorno to 50 Cent: Financialized platform capitalism, Spotify, and the culture industry in the twenty-first century" by Niklas Kullick and @johannespetry.bsky.social was just quoted in one of Germany's leading newspapers. 😎 Check out the paper here 👇

"No major bank has yet committed to stop funding new oil and gas fields or coal capacity, research has found. Most banks that have recently updated their climate policies have weakened them" www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Ben ik de enige die het communicatielijntje van GroenLinks-PvdA dat ze "het enige alternatief" voor rechts zijn (terwijl ze standpunten opnoemen die nog een handvol partijen in het linkerkwadrant hebben) irritant vind?

Rich interview with one very political science question: can Green parties emphasize economic inequality without losing their reputation on climate. Our work on the German Greens shows: yes. More emphasis on redistribution does not weaken perceived competence on climate and increases overall support

Heat waves, droughts, floods, and extreme weather affect the economy and the financial system. Ignoring the risks doesn't make them go away.

De enige manier van dynamic pricing die acceptabel is van concertorganisatoren: een korting (gratis biertje) geven als mensen ook het voorprogramma komen kijken. Hulde #EKKO (tevens voor de beprijzing naar draagkracht, nog zo'n mooie innovatie)

Flashbacks keep on coming! Robust PSI (private sector involvement) mechanisms in sovereign crises were strongly resisted by the US government back in the day. But these days up is down and down is up I guess

Een uitgesproken Groene partij naast een sociaal-democratische partij die - zoals gebruikelijk - huiverig is om een daadwerkelijk links alternatief te presenteren. Het VK laat zien hoe je energie creëert om het Overton window echt de goede kant op te trekken www.newstatesman.com/politics/mor...

Good piece. Growing threat to Labour from Greens on the left flank has been evident for a number of years now - clear in local election results, in polling, and in last year's general election. Polanski has increased this by (a) boost membership - crucial reource (b) increasing attention to Greens

Read @brettchristophers.bsky.social's The Price is Wrong with my book club and it was awesome. I learned a lot about the electricity market from this very insightful (albeit slightly depressing if you aim to avoid dangerous climate change) application of PE (with nice Polanyi ref)

Flashbacks to my first job working on an earlier Argentinean crisis. That on this occasion a libertarian extremist is asking for a governmental bail-out, though, tells you all you need to know about the fairy-tale nature of their ideology. Living in economic la-la-land till the powerful also get hit

Guest lecture with political economists @radboudpol.bsky.social, love it! Good discussions on using climate litigation to address corporate power and governance gaps. Thanks for having me @angelawigger.bsky.social!

🧵 New report: “A trillion dollars of climate risk” 📊🔥 Finance Watch’s latest research reveals the world’s 60 largest banks hold $1.1–1.6 trillion in fossil fuel exposures. This creates a dangerous climate-finance feedback loop. Let’s break it down 🧵👇

Stuk laat mooi de ideologische uitdaging van de fusie partij zien (en hoe de leden op zijn minst partieel geïnformeerd werden toen de partijtop steeds riep in het begin 'dit is geen fusiebesluit'). Ik heb wel moeite met de ontkenning van de Groene ideologische traditie...

Donderdag kwam ING met een klimaatrapport. 📝 Spoiler: het zijn 30 pagina’s vol kletspraat en herhaling. Niks nieuws, en dat is schokkend. Terwijl de klimaatcrisis uit de klauwen loopt, blijft ING - bankier van de klimaatcrisis - stilzitten. Dit bevestigt de noodzaak van onze klimaatzaak tegen ING.

Wonderful start of @hetactiefonds.bsky.social donor day with speeches from within the movement, historical anecdotes, and proud supporters

Dit dus. Het zou lachwekkend zijn als het tegelijk niet zo gevaarlijk was
