In Brussels this week w @noah_gordon_ to brief our new @CarnegieEndow article on climate challenges to NATO’s nuclear deterrent (co-auth. w the great Anna Bartoux and Dan Helmeci). Check out the article in link below!
(And of course, talking all things NPT whilst here, too!)
Looking for a change of pace in climate policy discussions? Join @noah_gordon_ tomorrow, October 2, 11am ET with @AssaadRazzouk, and @_HannahRitchie for a @CarnegieEndow discussion of good climate news (amid a climate crisis). https://t.co/mYz1i6LTKO
From our new issue #CarbonCritical
When Is a Climate Target “Legally Binding”?
Countries such as 🇩🇪 and the 🇬🇧 have enshrined climate goals into national law. What happens if they miss them?, ask @noah_gordon_ and @DanHelmeci

Are national climate targets "legally binding"? The governments--and high courts--of the UK and Germany say that they are.
But as recent rollbacks of climate policy show, it's not quite true.
My piece with @DanHelmeci in the new issue of @IPQuarterly: https://t.co/BZqUbHgD9Q
Governments are not keeping pace to meet their own legally binding climate targets.
Read @noah_gordon_ and my article in @IPQuarterly covering what the UK and Germany have promised, where they stand, and what could happen if they come up short.

/9 Dan Helmeci will be supporting the Sustainability, Climate, and Geopolitics Program.
Before joining Carnegie, Dan studied Political Science and History at @RiceUniversity.
“We have to finish the job”
Still surreal to hear a President talk about climate resilience, the climate crisis, and clean energy investment alongside inflation and tax policy.
Even better: his acknowledgment that #InflationReductionAct is only step 1
North Africa could be a global hub for green hydrogen production. Europe would be able to advance its own net-zero future while supporting North African development by promoting investment and collaboration in the sector.

The Yin and Yang of grid resilience in the time of climate change:
🔥 A terrifyingly close brush with… a statewide grid failure.
💧 And then, a groundswell of millions of individual people, businesses, and communities who saved it.
The Inflation Reduction Act houses 2️⃣ distinct approaches to building up domestic and friendly clean energy supply chains. @Will_H_Tobin, @DanHelmeci, and @selinkumbaraci analyze what may be the most effective approach. #EnergySource ⤵️

I'm supposed to be writing, but this news is too big not to share. @WSJ reports that France will nationalize utility giant EDF, saying the step is necessary to manage the transition away from fossil fuels at a time of energy crisis. (84% of EDF already state-controlled)
