♀️Women across #EU are disproportionately affected by energy poverty—and it’s not getting enough attention ❗ Women, in low income, single parent, elderly households, face high energy hardship.

“Every missile strike is another downpayment on a hotter, more unstable planet, and none of it makes anyone safer,” said Patrick Bigger of the Climate and Community Institute and co-author of new analysis about the climate impacts of the war on Iran, in @theguardian.com:
High time @unep.org push for international norms against targeting energy infrastructure in war. The ecological damage is multifold - wastage of precious resources, toxic pollution and carbon emissions. Revisiting my article for @forbes.com cc: @katharinehayhoe.com www.forbes.com/sites/saleem...
Rightwing narrative fuelling false belief UK public oppose net zero, study finds www.theguardian.com/environment/...
The final article from our global study of environmental and climate justice activists and academics is out. Read about this work on strategies and tactics for realising EJ, as well as the other articles from the project, here: www.sydney.edu.au/sydney-envir...
If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.
What's the book and who is the scholar?
"it’s more important than ever for the UK to move away from being reliant on volatile foreign fossil fuels, to clean, domestic, less wasteful energy,” Chair of UK Climate Change Committee 👇

Tommy Robinson is backing Reform candidate Matthew Goodwin. And Goodwin won’t distance himself from the former EDL leader.
🧵 Who is Matt Goodwin, Reform UK’s provocative far-right candidate?
Goodwin was once a serious academic warning about populist extremism.
He has since morphed into something very different.

So right, we need the Feminist Green New Deal @wen-uk.bsky.social @sherilynmacgregor.bsky.social
I've written a new blog - Where do you start the story of climate change?
This blog lays out the argument for why climate baselines should not be taken from the industrial revolution, and why the science needs to get past its fixation on attribution.

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.
Thank you.

A black tile publicising the new 'Gender and Rewilding' Special Section in Area. There is a quote from Nadia Bartolini's (2025) introduction. It reads: "Moving forward, it is critical that future research embed feminist approaches that help to evidence the relationship between gender and 'nature' and investigate the wider geographies and populations affected by rewilding".

Incorporating epistemic, restorative, and reparative justice an analytical Infrastructure (in)Justice framework is proposed. The framework further develops the 6 + 1D typology of injustice: Disinvest, Disrespect, Disenfranchise, Dismiss, Distress, and Dispossess www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
Friends at #COP30 please keep an eye on the chatter about solar geoengineering. It's being pushed through without proper deliberations or thorough analysis of the myriad risks it poses to planetary stability. Precisely what the fossil fuel industry wants to avoid accountability. #ClimateActionNow
A charity is gaining momentum pushing for state-subsidised diners to be reintroduced across the UK to improve access to affordable, healthy, and climate-friendly food.
Not everyone is convinced, however, that there's a chance in the current political climate.
My latest for Sower ⬇️
As an alumni of Syracuse University, it's appalling that they are capitulating against a right-wing campaign against Professor Farhana Sultana for exercising her first amendment rights. Do consider signing this letter calling on Syracuse University to reinstate her docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
