“No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue.” - President Alan Garber https://t.co/6cQQpcJVTd

[Federica Genovese @fgenovese__]

OPEC’s letter conveys an old message with a new tone. It says “they are coming for us - for real now”. Bad news for COP28, though few had high expectations.

But NB: in a sense the letter confirms that the energy transition never had more momentum. So gotta keep the moment going.

[Fred Shaia @fredshaia]

Just announced at #COP28—parties reached an agreement on the Santiago Network for loss & damage, whose secretariat will be hosted by UNDRR & UNOPS. The Network will provide technical assistance to developing countries that are acutely vulnerable to the effects of climate change.

[Jessica Green @greenprofgreen]

On the eve of #COP28, I'm re-upping this piece I wrote for @DaedalusJournal. As #climate scholars, it is our professional responsibility to engage in climate politics.

We all know that the climate crisis is here. It's time for all hands on deck. 1/n

I’m so honored to be speaking at this event - put on in memory of Saleem and the incredible influence he had shaping adaptation and loss and damage in the @UNFCCC .

Make sure you register to join us on Monday! https://t.co/qMvg0EfzLb

I’m so excited to share that today marks my first day as full-time Associate Professor (“Chargé de cours”) in International Environmental Politics at @REPI_ULB @SciencePoULB @ULBruxelles!

[Fred Shaia @fredshaia]

Thank you to @elisa_calliari, @adelle_SIDS, and others at Global Environmental Politics for compiling this special issue on loss and damage at a time when identifying solutions has never been more pressing // @Danielle_Falzon, @Island_Scholar, @TimmonsRoberts, @Fahad_2675

[Fred Shaia @fredshaia]

If you’re wondering why the international response to loss and damage has been delayed over the last 30 years, our new open-access article in @GEPJournal offers a typology of negotiating tactics countries have used to obstruct financing for this issue.

[Fred Shaia @fredshaia]

My co-authors and I show how these tactics have shaped political and legal understandings of loss and damage—and how they have affected potential policy solutions. We hope this article helps actors better anticipate and respond to barriers to action in future UNFCCC negotiations.

[Dr Stacy-ann Robinson 🇯🇲 @island_scholar]

Our article on #lossanddamage #finance obstruction in the @UNFCCC is #2 in international relations! #ICYMI it's #OA in @mitpress' Global Environmental Politics here👉🏾https://t.co/LdzaXCypii @danielle_falzon @fredshaia @TimmonsRoberts @Fahad_2675 @Khan1954Mizan @davidciplet
