A wealth of evidence: PIK compiles 85,000 individual studies about climate policy
11.02.2025 – Research on climate policy is growing exponentially. Of the approximately 85,000 individual studies ever published on policy instruments for mitigating global heating, a good quarter are from 2020 or later. A study led by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) in the journal npj Climate Action, using machine learning methods, now shows how this vast knowledge is distributed – by instrument, country, sector and policy level – and identifies research gaps. A corresponding web tool, the “living systematic map”, will help to guide science and policy. It will be continuously updated to reflect the current state of research.

Obviously this is mega-upsetting for a lot of reasons, but among them:
1) a lot of these CBPs were still pretty mid
2) it took a *huge* amount of effort to get career DOE people generally on board with these ideas, and many got pretty enthusiastic about the potential for good. Now, that's punished.

The Trump administration has issued stop work orders on DOE projects requiring community benefit plans, often seen as a vehicle for environmental justice. @jael.bsky.social has the full scoop.

Companies, states, cities, and other entities with Energy Department contracts that had community benefit plans embedded in them have been ordered to stop all work.
