Great being at #PSA24 to present our work on how diversity of expert witnesses can impact legitimacy perceptions of citizens assemblies! Co-authored with Stefanie Reher, Jen Roberts, Dr Ruth Lightbody, and Marco Reggiani

This ECHR ruling may be imperfect but take a moment to appreciate it. It gives hope not because it was women spearheading it (we knew that women everywhere care more) but because it’s _older_ women that led it. There are no climate solutions w/out intergenerational solidarity.

Thanks Covering Climate Now (threads: @coveringclimate) for the great interview! It was fun to reflect on how I think about this beat after two years on the job with 19thnews as their first climate and gender reporter. cjr.org/covering_clima…

Lots of people asking about Scotland's climate targets today (understandably). We won't comment before we see what the Scottish Government is planning, but our position on the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿2030 target is already very clear. It was in two key bits of advice, published already. 🧵

New on the blog✍️ The abandoning of carbon targets shows the dissonance in Scotland’s much-vaunted climate success story 📝🌍 Dominic Hinde @dominicmhinde.bsky.social UofG Soc & Pol Sci writes about Scotland's climate policy aspirations and what that looks like on the ground. 🔗gla.ac.uk/research/az/pu…

Tremendous news (I was a tad worried…). Credit where it’s due. This leaves the UK Carbon Budgets as a meaningful legal framework for continued decarbonisation. 👏

“Canada is such a northern country, don’t we want a little global warming?” I often hear. In a nutshell, NO. We’re warming 2x faster than the rest of the world and it's driving extreme heat, flood, sea level rise + wildfires we're not prepared for. changingclimate.ca/CCCR2019/

In recent years more women migrants are dying in the hot desert while attempting to reach the U.S. I talk to experts about this new trend, and the implications of asylum restrictions on this population as as summer gets underway. 19thnews.org/2024/07/women-…
