New paper!

How to ensure climate mitigation is as fair as possible?
How to ensure research contributes to a just transition?

We @uclendev mapped justice risks in the 1.5°C transition, and made a research agenda.

Here are the main points

This sentence is obscene. Why are we punishing the people trying to prevent disaster while allowing the oil company giants causing it to reap super profits?

Today's decision emanating from Southwark Crown Court is an outrage . It is an attack on our civil liberties , we must defend our right to peaceful protest .

@AttorneyGeneral , please meet with us urgently . This grotesque miscarriage of justice must be fixed .

This is a now-or-never situation: we need to raise £85,000 by the beginning of June in order to pull this off. Otherwise, we're not going to be able to survive beyond a few months, and all activities, including on this account, will cease. https://t.co/jsp1PUUPWu

the most powerful climate report of the decade was published on monday, after 195 governments fought over the words in its summary for policymakers, and the only media allowed in the room just published its account of who lobbied for what 1/

In the spirit of stubborn optimism, I'm crowdsourcing a list of COP-firsts.

#COP27 was far from perfect (and that's an understatement!) but some pretty incredible things did happen for the first time ever (please add!)

Saw @gracepetrie today @edfringe. Brilliant show! Super funny, sharp, thoughtful, powerful. Got a standing ovation. Go see it.

[Grace Petrie @gracepetrie]

The @edfringe starts next week. I’m exceptionally terrified about going on stage for a month with no guitar. At the end of August I’ll either be a comedian or down by a few grand and a lot of confidence. Get tickets now to find out which!

Very excited about @gracepetrie 's show! I've got two tickets for Tuesday 9th Aug which I cant use now. Anyone want them?

Whether you like it or not, the world needs Carbon Capture (+ Utilisation or Storage) to meet its climate objectives.

In today’s @ETC_energy report we highlight the vital but limited role CCUS will need to play, and how to scale it up.

@greenbenali @islingtongreens @DevonMOsborne Fantastic! Congratulations Benali! This is great news.

We need to do much more to tackle climate change, but there is some good news for once.

In @Nature this week, @ClimateFran and I point out that falling costs of clean energy and strengthening climate policies move us away from the darkest climate futures: https://t.co/e6ZWNeddnd

A thread to unpack the figures in our @Nature cover story on climate pledges. It's a good-news / bad-news story. A glass half-full / half-empty one. We can reach 2C, if promises are fulfilled. But we need way more for 1.5C. This decade. Free access here: https://t.co/P5tMdp96B5

‘Britain was promised a bold and visionary energy plan. But we’ve been sold a dud’ - my comment piece on the Energy Security Strategy in today’s Observer https://t.co/9UGjWS8hgI

[Damian Carrington @dpcarrington]

“Defining feature of this #EnergyStrategy is incoherence. It doesn’t know what problem it is trying to solve and thus fails to solve any. [It] ignores energy efficiency and kicks the only short-term supply option [onshore wind] into the long grass"
Prof @MichaelGrubb9 @UCL

[Damian Carrington @dpcarrington]

"This is not the holistic energy security strategy UK needs. It is half a strategy, focused on energy supply. Once again, government has missed an opportunity to provide more immediate relief to families facing very high energy bills" Prof @watsonjim2 @ucl

More like a missing leg. It is half a strategy.
