🚨 New paper alert 🚨 Acknowledging the historic presence of justice in climate research, in Nature Climate Change: doi.org/10.1038/s415... - w/ @julianagyeman.bsky.social, @pkashwan.bsky.social, @danielle-rivera.bsky.social, Stacia Ryder, @dschlosberg.bsky.social & @farhanasultana.com #climatejustice
Thanks for the shout-out, Lisa! Excited to hear you've used this in class. Did the students like it?
In my environmental justice seminar today, we discussed the extent to which research on climate justice is informed by knowledge on justice outside the climate field. This was inspired by @bcoolsaet.bsky.social et al's 2025 response to a piece by Zimm et al from 2024. 1/n

Xmas came early this year! Grateful to #IUCN Commission on Environmental, Economic and Social Policy for their Research and Knowledge Award (including backlit award plaque ✨). It's a collective award for our work on the role of Indigenous people and local communities in conservation 🌿 #selfbrag
