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…

The history of net zero: can we move from concepts to practice?

Net zero has become the new organizing principle of climate politics. Though the adoption of net zero targets has created optimism in the climate regime, there remain significant concerns that it i...

Here are the big takeaways from the @IPCC_CH Synthesis Report released today. First, climate change has already caused widespread and substantial losses to almost every aspect of human life on this planet, and the impacts on future generations depend on the choices we make NOW.
