Heya #EnergySky! Exciting to see the recent momentum on here.
Energy Twitter was great, but something we can improve on with v2 is to have a broader set of voices from outside the US - where the fight on climate will be won or lost.
A very early, incomplete start to this ->

Great to see engagement and additions to this pack! (pls continue to provide addtl recs!)
Thought it made sense to more fully introduce myself now! My team at RMI supports and advances the power sector transition in various emerging markets.
Here's how we do it and what we've done

This is a great read, and I don't disagree with @dwallacewells.bsky.social's conclusions.
But it'd be nice when you're reflecting on world climate politics to actually include voices from...around the world.

David Wallace-Wells is the best climate journalist working today, arguably the best journalist period, and this is a fantastic summary of where things stand on climate change:
It Isn’t Just the U.S. The Whole World Has Soured on Climate Politics.

Huge if true. Indonesia is substantially powered by cheap domestic coal, and so far has been slow to transition.

This seems very cool and Jesse is a leading expert on the South African transition, hope others can join!
I am currently visiting SEI Latin America to exchange on lessons from South Africa's JETP, just transition planning, and to explore south-south cooperation on energy, as part of @trajects.bsky.social global climate centre. Join us at UNAL on Thursday at 930am for a Colombia-South Africa discussion!

The role Global Energy Monitor plays in the global electricity transition is invaluable, especially in emerging markets where data can be more scarce and lower quality. We rely on their work all the time.

Trying to diversify the energy conversation here on Bsky a bit. First up, a starter pack for those working broadly in the area of energy and development (or poverty alleviation):

2023 was a year of contradictions for the global coal-to-clean transition.
For the first time in its history, the IEA projected a decline in global coal demand (out to 2026), even as coal power emissions reached an all-time high.
