🌍 CO₂? Doesn’t matter.
🌲 Forests? Doesn’t matter.
🚁 As long as the political enemy remains the enemy.🗯️ “It seems so.”
🇪🇸 While Spain is battling devastating wildfires, the consequences of EU sanctions are being debated by critics.
If operational Russian 🇷🇺 Kamov Ka-32 firefighting helicopters cannot be deployed because spare parts are unavailable, one question deserves to be asked:
🗯️ “It seems so.”

"We introduce a multi-objective, multi-value #IAM framework to guide just climate policymaking under deep uncertainty" We address three shortcomings of previous models:
1. #comparison: "By making decision-makers’ preferences over objectives explicit, multi-objective approaches facilitate a posteriori navigation of conflicting interests."
2. #values: "A just and effective alternative is to adopt policy design frameworks that accommodate multiple values and preferences of different stakeholders, fostering mutual understanding and consensus."
3. #uncertainties: "Climate sensitivity and damage functions are major sources of deep uncertainty". A "feedback mechanism makes adaptive policies robust against deep uncertainties and allows them to accommodate diverse future states-of-the-world (SOW) and extreme events."from Biswas, P. et al. (2026). "Prioritizing the welfare of vulnerable nations promotes equitable achievement of Paris target" https://doi.org/10.1038/s44168-026-00385-z

Oil and Gas majors created the myth that "natural gas" is clean — despite knowing the health and climate harms of methane gas decades earlier than previously reported.
A CCI investigation exposes how the gas industry deceived the public and policymakers into believing gas is a climate solution: https://climateintegrity.org/projects/natural-gas-fraud

Funny how that works...
Bureaucracy is very bad for EU 🇪🇺 competitiveness when it's about restoration of nature, but more paperwork is totally fine when it's about free allocation of permits ("benchmark-based"), international credits ("high quality") and carbon removal ("strict safeguards")... 🤷
All good as long as the ambition of EU #ClimatePolicy and stringency of the #ETS is scaled back.

According to the ICJ, “States are subject to the duty to prevent significant harm either where no harm has yet been caused but the risk of future significant harm exists, or where some harm has already been caused and there exists a risk of further significant harm.”
A new report strengthens the case that major industrialized countries knew that they could face legal obligations to reduce #climate-damaging greenhouse gas emissions: https://www.ciel.org/reports/what-states-knew-climate/

The economy can be reoriented to lower both emissions and costs, moving us away from fossil fuels while also using fewer critical minerals to furnish a green transition.
"At the Climate and Community Institute, we’ve modelled the impact of a series of modular shifts that could be achieved through policies like reorienting transport towards good-quality, low-emission mass transit, better land-use and urban planning, smaller cars and batteries, plus properly enforced recycling for these technologies."
Read Thea Riofrancos, Strategic Co-Director at the Climate and Community Institute, an advocate for lithium-based batteries: https://newleftreview.org/issues/ii159/articles/thea-riofrancos-the-new-world-climate-order 🧵

"In Western Australia, hard-rock mining is powered by diesel-run machinery, which creates a lot of localized and atmospheric pollution. In theory it could operate with battery power, but the mining industry is not yet decarbonized. The container ships that transport Australian lithium to China are powered by bunker fuel, a very polluting form of fossil energy, and processed in coal-powered refineries. That’s probably the most polluting, most carbon-intensive part of the lithium sector."

CBAM allarga le maglie: non solo acciaio, ma anche beni di consumo
https://www.metallirari.com/cbam-allarga-maglie-non-solo-acciaio-anche-beni-consumo/
L’espansione del CBAM ai prodotti downstream, approvata in commissione ENVI ma non ancora dal Parlamento, minaccia di colpire milioni di consumatori e migliaia di PMI europee.

“A key factor in the rapid acceptance of #ecocide law is the definition itself, which resulted from a drafting program commissioned in 2021. The definition focuses on the level of harm, not on specific activities or sectors. Similar to how criminal law works, a murderer is defined by the outcome, not the method. The ecocide definition emphasizes the harm caused rather than forbidding particular activities. It does not prohibit industrial fishing or mineral mining; rather, it outlines a threshold of harm that should not be crossed. This approach encourages best practices without alienating any sector, which has been hugely helpful in facilitating constructive dialogue. So, while there are countries that are not ready to support ecocide, we have not encountered many that openly oppose it.”

"Think global, act local" has a structural flaw: judged on its own terms, almost any decision looks right — which is how a £100m bat tunnel got built, by people doing exactly what they were asked, with nobody lying or cutting corners. The same gap is opening up in New York's solar boom.
"Solar spreadsheets" follows both and suggests a fix for the flaw.

For the even bigger picture around US climate litigation news, we recommend The White House Effect.
Using exclusively archival material, this film tells the dramatic origin story of the climate crisis and how a political battle in the George H.W. Bush administration changed the course of history. As the world prepares for the Rio Earth Summit in 1992, President George H.W. Bush faces mounting pressure to make a decision that will change the course of history—culminating in the U.S. undermining a global agreement to set hard limits on emissions, setting the stage for the increasingly hot, dangerous, and polarized future we all now face.

Youth v Gov is an award-winning documentary that follows the plaintiffs of Juliana v. United States, the groundbreaking youth climate suit which asserted that the US federal government as willfully acted over six decades to create the climate crisis, thus endangering their constitutional rights to life, liberty, and property.
We offer classroom-ready lesson plans that explore the US court system, fossil fuels and the environment, the US government and the fossil fuel industry, and a service learning lesson about making a difference in your own community.
We also offer a discussion guide that's great for public screenings.

We could have strategic, coordinated, transformative "state-led electrification for energy sovereignty", and a life-improving "green social bargain".
"The experience of successful developmental states—from the East Asian tigers to contemporary China—teaches us that transformative industrial policy delivers where it is accompanied by coercive credit policy, where the state steers transformative investment through credit and equity flows."
"There is no doubt that countries can afford free green public mobility. Crushed by fossil fuel shortages far worse than anything Europe has had to deal with so far, the government of Pakistan has announced free public transit by bus, as has Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam."
