📑The CET Annual Report is ready for download! In 2022 we celebrated 5 years as a research centre. Grab a ☕️ and take a few minutes to get to know CET a little better 👇 UiB Samfunn uib.no/en/cet/161314/…

1/n Does the fact that an IAM is open source and the results are transparently available make the fact that their very structure disallows distributive justice any less true? No.

Good read showing a) many obstacles and b) cool & innovative action in #academia to reducing the #carbonfootprint of research (including #airtravel): nature.com/articles/d4158…

Le gouvernement a choisi de dissoudre Les Soulèvements de la terre qui représentent aujourd'hui + de 110 000 personnes. Cette décision alarmante est le fruit d'une escalade répressive envers les militants écologistes qui s'accentue depuis 2015 et inquiète les experts de l'ONU. Un 🧶 1/14

Our team members LydiaExplains🌎💡 (in person) and Annina Thaller (online) both presented some of our initial findings today at the SCORAI-ERSCP-WUR Conference on SCP 2023, and finally meeting our norwegian partner Jesse Schrage for the first time in person 🚂

Can contradictions be useful in urban planning? Håvard Haarstad, Knut Hidle and I think so - we look at how contradictions were strategically used in advancing an ambitious climate plan in Bergen, Norway shorturl.at/ySVW7 UiB CET (uibcet.bsky.social) UiB Samfunn @stinaeo

As climate-related damages hit, remember that this crisis is not due to generic "human activity". Excess emissions are due overwhelmingly to the core states of the global North, and the ruling classes that control the systems of production, energy and national legislation.

While reducing energy demand and consumption is needed, it is also hugely challenging. In this piece I argue that cities, and most spec. civil servants, need to navigate 3 tensions to advance local climate action shorturl.at/elMX4 UiB CET (uibcet.bsky.social) UiB Samfunn #socialpractice

FINAL Call for #beyondoil23 If you haven't already, send in your abstracts for this year's theme- "Refuelling Transformation" by August 18! Dr. Marie Claire Brisbois Zarina Patel Derk Loorbach Jessica Jewell 💙💛

Do y’all think about governments putting more than $1 trillion into fossil fuel consumption subsidies last year?

Norway’s oil & gas exports typically bring in $30bn/yr, but in 2022 rocketed to $130bn. This is a similar scale to the entire Marshall Plan of 1948-51! Using the windfall to underwriting risk could completely change the climate game... Michael Grubb ft.com/content/c4bf95…

📢 Exciting opportunity for geographers interested in climate and energy transformation! We are looking for an associate professor to join our dynamic research centre and our colleagues at UiB Geografi 🌍 📅Apply by October 31st 👇More info jobbnorge.no/en/available-j…

To limit global warming to '1.5°C with no or limited overshoot', the decline in global CO2 emissions relative to 2019 are: * 48% by 2030 * 80% by 2040 * 99% by 2050 It is 2023 & global CO2 emissions are still rising! ipcc.ch/report/sixth-a…

Fossil fuel emissions 🛢⛽️🔥 ⬆️ set to reach record breaking highs in 2023 Which leads to... 🧵 1/4

What would be the best result now at #COP28? The talks are deadlocked over whether they should call for an eventual end to the production and consumption of unabated fossil fuels. This is what the globally agreed goal of limiting warming to 1.5C requires. What are the options? /1

Shoutout to UiB CET (uibcet.bsky.social) for their brilliant #lowcarbontravelguide for academics and beyond! You can be the change! Check it out 🚂🌍 uib.no/sites/w3.uib.n…

🌍How can academics align their practices with the deep and rapid reductions in emissions required to meet international emissions targets? Check out our Low-Carbon Travel Guide for experiences and inspiration from CET's researchers👇 uib.no/en/cet/167419/…

Imagine climate protesters doing this. There'd be calls for introducing martial law. 😳

📊Unequal futures? Fascinating paper by @Kanitkar et al just out in Climate Policy | climate-policy.bsky.social shows persistent inequalities in incomes, energy use, and emissions in 556 model scenarios assessed in #IPCCAR6. Even up to 2050! ead more here tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
