@UCL_Energy @st_pye @fergusgreen @uclspp Excellent initiative. Could be of use to @WildJustice_org and many others

[UCL Energy Institute @UCL_Energy]

How can people best inform legal challenges to fossil fuel projects? Two UCL academics including @st_pye and @fergusgreen of @uclspp have launched a database named Redline to help environmental NGOs and public-interest lawyers with just that.

Alas not a surprising outcome when we fail to engage meaningfully all stakeholders towards common goals. Citizens and consumers must be well informed and part of transitions, or we create classic #systems trap like #policyresistance. #Systemsthinking https://t.co/z5PHYacO6q

Interesting stuff. The social cost of carbon is way higher than current carbon offset prices. This can only drive things in the wrong direction. Instead, isn't it time to shift the conversation to: how can corporations meaninfully contribute to society's well-being?

50 yrs ago the authors of The #LimitstoGrowth called for forward looking policy to prevent humanity from overshooting planetary limits.
Now more than ever we need transformative thinking and collective action to address the issues we face as part of the planetary emergency #ltg50

In the last few years, BP, Shell, and ExxonMobil have announced net-zero climate pledges.

They've spent millions of dollars advertising their investments in clean energy.

Last week, all 3 companies changed up those plans and said they are doubling down on fossil fuels.

Our new paper in @NatureClimate finds 1.5C pathways underestimate how much Global North must cut CO2 emissions and how fast oil & gas must be phased out globally
This is because pathways rely too much on phasing out coal, with less emphasis on oil & gas.

As a google-born 90s kid I haven’t spend much of my time in mines but I’m quite accustomed to data mining.

I hope that you haven’t spent much of your time worrying about @JohnLeePettim13 thread.

Earth will not be destroyed because of energy transition related mining.🧵1/26

Happy New Year :) this short video was recorded with a top team @IDRICUK, intended to young people interested in a future #career in science but not too sure they are good enough (yes you are!) "you can't be what you can't see" https://t.co/tW8TfkrseZ @UCL_Energy @UCL_ISR

[Industrial Decarbonisation Research & Innovation @IDRICUK]

Let's kick off 2023 with a BRAND NEW 'You can't be what you can't see' VIDEO🥳

This is @BruniVerrier, a researcher in socio-technical energy transitions working with IDRIC, who talks about her career route to #decarbonisation.

Very interesting thread

[Maria Pastukhova @Energy_in_Asia]

For the first time in its history, the @IEA sees #fossilfuel demand peaking across all of its projections including the “business as usual” (STEPS) scenario. What does it mean for geoeconomics & geopolitics of the global #energytransition? A🧵1/13 https://t.co/BNrRk30iKj

The last panel session of the #idric1 Industrial Decarbonisation Showcase. A very informative discussion bringing together different views on the delivery and deliverability of policy and how it will help incentivise investment. Many thanks to Keith MacLean and the panellists.

With debate still raging about energy prices – glad to get the following letter into the Times yesterday. https://t.co/JKhdh3g1tF

@Bankfieldbecky still such a long way to go🤦‍♀️

Super interesting read on the "culture-war" shaping current and future #climate politics. Insightful dive into the case of the Thanet district's airport as well https://t.co/iXt2usS5C0

Very nice article on how to optimize green financing policies. Will integrate these new insights in my project on the political economy of industrial decarbonisation. Thank you @nadameli!

[Nadia Ameli @nadameli]

The idea that disclosure can shift capital has serious flaws. If central banks and regulators continue to line up behind transparency, they’re at risk of giving the finance sector a permission slip to skip more effective action

Think it's a long time until #COP27? Think again!

There's a packed schedule of important events – and COP processes – over the next year, leading up to the summit in Sharm el Sheikh in Egypt

1/ This Package is not perfect. The coal change and a weak outcome on loss and damage are blows.

But it is real progress and elements of the Glasgow Package are a lifeline for my country. We must not discount the crucial wins covered in this package:

A paper worth sharing again and again during #COP26, hoping for further pledges. Colleagues at @TheBartlettUCL @JamesJEPrice @st_pye detailing it's time we left fossil fuel reserves in the ground. Nature paper here: https://t.co/oM5AcShLEe BBC article:https://t.co/5nikfUFNTD
