What is the EU doing to keep society on board with Climate policy, you may ask.

I’ll mention here the recently agreed Social Climate Fund of up to €65billion plus Member State resources for 2026-2032.

It will help vulnerable households, micro-enterprises and transport users)

(It’s more than €80 billion once MS money gets added but of course MS should do national policies too!)

Big emphasis on anti-green backlash policies mentioned in this report on the AfD programme.

It will be very important to keep society on board as Climate and Energy Policy in Europe will intensify significantly this decade.

But good the DE press is at least pointing out AfD economic ideas are regressive!

goals to cut by 65% by 2030 are likely to be missed, meaning longer-term by 2045 target is also in doubt, reports by government advisers and the Federal Environment Agency () show. Last year its levels were already 40% below 1990 level, but new reports said that was not enough. UBA found Germany cannot become climate neutral by 2045 on basis of planned and existing .

IMF report on fossil fuel subsidies:

- around $1.3trillion globally in explicit subsidies (underpricing supply costs)

- $7trillion globally if you include underpricing external costs (like CO2 and air pollution)

For policy nerds: Technically interesting, and difficult, work by the IMF in distinguishing these concepts and gathering the data!

This is so good. It's a crash course in why electric vehicles aren't going to solve the climate crisis. open.spotify.com/episode/287zv

A cautionary tale about attempting to sequester carbon in the biosphere.

"strong evidence that the wildfire component of California's forest carbon buffer pool has almost surely been depleted."

If the climate crisis is already here (which it seems to be), that means what we've already emitted is too much, so even cutting future emissions to zero won't be enough! Actively reducing (or offsetting) the atmosphere's greenhouse gas content will be necessary as well. 🤔

As a newly tenured faculty member (yay!), I'm happy to help any other small liberal arts college folks doing work around think about the process.

To mitigate the corrupt or not fit for purpose, business people & politicians agenda's, more scientists will have to get involved in direct environmental activism (AKA speaking to people)

Whilst environmental groups such as Extinction Rebellion , or political groups such as the green party's, mean well, they're not doing so well in regards to communicating the evidence based knowledge that is required to develop an ecologically sustainable society.

Once again, is leading the way on

To quote the Welsh governments website " is mandatory within the new Curriculum for Wales and will form part of every learner's education throughout their learning journey" gov.wales/written-statement-su

And when these young learners become adult decision makers, voters & politicians...
