Migrating birds, selective blindness, strategic skepticism, weaponized uncertainty – this paper has it all. Do give it a read, it's excellent work.

Since the start of von der Leyen's second mandate, EU sustainable finance norms face intense dismantling pressures. My new @JEPP article shows this started years ago when the fossil fuel industry “woke up” to the EU Taxonomy. 🧵 #EUTaxonomy #SustainableFinance👇 1/10

Is the climate strategy behind the IRA dead after the GOP's massive cuts to its clean energy subsidies?

In my new piece for @foreignaffairs.com, I argue: No!

Enabled by institutional capacity & aligned political and technocratic priorities, the People’s Bank of China has led on green central banking. It: acted early; addresses broad environmental issues beyond climate; promotes green investment, not just prudential policies.

New!

Public opinion foundations of the clean energy transition by
Alexander F. Gazmararian, Matto Mildenberger & Dustin Tingley.

This review article clarifies how public opinion's role in the clean energy transition, & charts priorities for future research.

doi.org/10.1080/0964...
ABSTRACT Popular debates about political barriers to the clean energy transition increasingly acknowledge the mass public’s role, but often summarize its importance with amorphous concepts like ‘political’ or ‘public will.’ This essay clarifies how the public’s beliefs, preferences, and behaviors affect the clean energy transition through three channels: policymaker incentives, electoral selection, and technology adoption and siting. In turn, we consider how energy and climate policy design can influence the mass public’s preferences, emphasizing cost and benefit visibility, public perceptions of distributional effects, and cross-domain policy linkages. Drawing from our framework, we outline priorities for public opinion research on the clean energy transition.

We wrote about the US ruling class taking the reins to manage its own decline. What do the Trumpist factions of capital want? Can that be squared with the interests of the MAGA base? Capable state managers could potentially thread the needle, but that's all gone. With @cedricdurand.bsky.social.

what replaces due process under fascism is the assurance of protection for favored groups. even though it’s precarious, a lot of people feel just as protected under that framework as they do under one with due process
timothysnyder.bsky.social Timothy Snyder @timothysnyder.bsky.social · Mar 24
If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

A quick summary 🧵 !

🌍🌍🌍 @kprodani.bsky.social and I make two new claims, provocatively stated: (i) Quantifying climate transition risk is easy, biodiversity is not (ii) The most recent regulatory strategies entirely escape the "risk-based approach" said to dominate prudential policy. /1

📚✨ New paper alert: How are we doing on turning nature into a source of calculable risk?

We take a critical look at how 1990s risk models and environmental science enable riskification, and study very new regulatory strategies that go beyond it.

The exact feeling I’ve had watching things unfold at home for the last several weeks. I never really learned that democracy in fact is not an unassailable feature of the US until college and even then not *really* until I left 🇺🇸
zingherpolisci.bsky.social Josh Zingher @zingherpolisci.bsky.social · Mar 1
In some ways, I get this impulse. Our civics education teaches people America is democracy is if it’s a matter of nature, rather than an institution that requires constant maintenance and renewal. This is a mistake 3/x
