Luca De Carli from the European Commission does a good job of outlining the efforts at EU level to reduce the investment uncertainty that business may feel exists. It is time to jump, he says, and there are schemes to help make the jump: @epaireland.bsky.social #climate conference

Mary Lawlor, UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Defenders, reminds us that ‘climate change IS a human rights issue’.

Her keynote speech at the @dcuclimate.bsky.social annual conference is a call to action, and a strong defence of #climate and #human #rights defenders worldwide.

It shouldn’t be acceptable for the government cabinet to look like this in 2025: so male, so white

“Gender split in new Cabinet draws criticism as Micheál Martin starts second term as Taoiseach”

How do you feel about climate action given the political context in Europe and globally?

It was a pleasure to discuss the future of the European Green Deal and #climate policy this morning at @caneurope.bsky.social’s general assembly.

Let’s have more action and less worry!

Why theorise during a climate crisis? Why do anything during the climate crisis? Inspiring reflections @ecpr.bsky.social conference: We all have our skill set and it can be applied to understand, address, transform society/politics etc in climate crisis…

Learning about the important ongoing political research happening across Europe, and beyond, at the @ecpr.bsky.social conference this week at UCD Dublin. Starting the week learning about public perceptions of and backlash to climate policy.

I always knew that I was living in a bit of a bubble in Ghent. Can you spot Ghent on the maps below? Ghent voted Green for European and Federal elections and Vooruit (centre-left/socialists) for Flemish Parliament. Images from De Standaard newspaper. m.standaard.be
