@BBCr4today @MishalHusain Really sad to see @MishalHusain sign off from the Today programme. She has been excellent and will be a great loss to the BBC.

🏆 We're delighted that ACRC’s CEO @DianaMitlin has been awarded the best paper of 2024 by @RSA_ADP for “The contribution of reform coalitions to inclusion and equity: lessons from urban social movements”.

Very excited to finally see our data intro paper "The Political Settlements Dataset: Power Configurations and Political Blocs in the Global South, 1946-2018," co-authored with @TimKelsall1, published open access in @II_journal. A thread about the dataset. https://t.co/CfaGU86pHC

⚡️Cracking new resource! Full report really worth reading for anyone who cares abt Malawi's growth & development- whether inside country system, or outside. Carefully sets out <political economy> at national & city level, electoral & 'small p', & how this affects key sectors.

Day 2 of our Urban Reform Coalitions Conference kicks off with @PASGR_’s Martin Atela, who introduces the #UtafitiSera approach – including its emergence and how it brings actors together to form a community of practice, bridging the gap between research and policy action.

Anyone interested in cities and urbanism should watch Professor @TaibatLawanson's inaugural lecture. I've learned so much from her over the years, and feel honored to be working with her. https://t.co/CCTj2blUIU

We are SO excited to be in Dar es Salaam for our second consortium-wide meeting! 🙌

Tomorrow is the official first day, but we’ve already been busy with city of systems, political settlements and domain workshops, and visits to five different neighbourhood projects today.

The frustrated, furious response above is all mine.

For a more nuanced, less sleep-deprived assessment of key issues at #COP27, please check out the daily insights from @ODI_Global. My brilliant colleagues unpack all the tricky topics above, and more.

Failures at #COP27:

❌ Inability to explicitly confront fossil fuels (indeed, oil & gas welcomed into the room by Egyptian Presidency).

❌ Carbon market loopholes will enable corporate greenwash.

❌ $100 billion commitment remains unmet, primarily due to shortfall from the US.

[Sarah Colenbrander @s_colenbrander]

Successes at #COP27:

✅ Loss & damage fund focused on particularly vulnerable countries.

✅ Demand for MDBs to define a new vision & operational model equal to the climate crisis.

✅ Nuanced debate about responsibility & vulnerability beyond the developed/developing dichotomy.

@Mike_amanpene @NicolaiSchulz @WilliamDFergus1 @mvomhau @sam_b_hickey @Brianlevy387 @ODI_Global @AfricanCities_ @PeterEvans_Guv Yes! Chapter 6 contains a comparative analysis of Ghana, Guinea, Cambodia and Rwanda, looking at economic growth and transformation, maternal health, and quality education.

Few concepts have captured the imagination of the conflict and development community in recent years as powerfully as the idea of a 'political settlement'.

Our new open access📖, 'Political Settlements and Development: Theory, Evidence, Implications' provides (mini-🧵 [1/7]):
