How can we achieve deep-energy retrofits for households in #energypoverty? Read our just published paper: tinyurl.com/5yxdp75b (open access). We studied the factors proven to influence the successful implementation of energy #retrofits for lower income households #fuelpoverty

This book is now available in physical form, after 5ish years of work ... Would have been impossible without such a great community of collaborators, especially co-editors @sarakfuller @tgreames. Very grateful to for the endorsement by @harrietbulkeley. 🌞 If you need to find your way around #energyjustice debates, hopefully we can help! e-elgar.com/shop/gbp/handboo…

Trust between multiple actors was also a crucial factor. Retrofits can be enabled by disseminating knowledge of retrofit programs through trusted communicators.
Also retrofit programs and policies need to think holistically about costs. Instead of focusing on upfront costs alone, cost impacts across rent, maintenance, energy costs, and more were important. See our open access paper for more findings: tinyurl.com/5yxdp75b

After running a lab that centers inclusion for 4 years now, I’d like to share some of our lab practices that have really worked in case this info is helpful for others.

Hot off the press, with @raul_climate – a meta-review of the scholarly literature on net zero now online with @Climate_Policy. What do we know about how to get to net zero – not as much as we need to (no surprise there) THREAD

Imperial Oil made $1.25 billion in profits in Q1 - while lying to Indigenous communities about toxic leaks from their tailings
That money should all go to the impacted nations
Imperial Oil is raising its quarterly dividend as it reported it earned $1.25 billion in its first quarter, up from $1.17 billion in the same quarter a year earlier. bit.ly/3oWaC84
Graduate student pay is outrageously low in Canada. So much more federal and university support is needed. Stipends are the same as they were 20 years ago theglobeandmail.com/canada/a…

Imagine how far $1T could go in making a better world. How much of the Canadian grid could have switched to clean sources. How much transit infrastructure could have been built. How much conservation financing it could have funded.
This will be judged as criminal by history.
