Thanks to APSA and Irem B.A. Orsel for creating and promoting this neat summary of our American Political Science Review paper on the electoral implications of Spain's #JustTransition away from coal!

Exploiting a policy in Spain that phases out coal mining while supporting affected workers, Diane Bolet, Fergus Green, & Mikel González-Eguino demonstrate how carefully crafted climate policy affects electoral outcomes.

Today in the FT Pilita Clark explores 'How to do climate policy in the age of the green backlash'. A crucial question that I'm continuing to explore. Our paper on Spain's coalmining #JustTransition (cited in the column🙏) contains part of the answer ft.com/content/2819b9…

Our findings confirm the need to 'cut with both arms of the scissors' (per Fergus Green & Richard Denniss), & point to scope and coverage, size of the coalition, and incentives for participation as key design elements for an international supply-side coalition

Thursday 18:15-19:30 Shaun Spiers Juliette Sanders and Michael Jacobs join Fergus Green for our seminar on the UK transition to #NetZero . Can the government still achieve net zero by 2050? Does it want to?

11 years ago I wrote a report with Reuben Finighan for Beyond Zero Emissions called 'Laggard to Leader: How Australia can Lead the World to Zero Carbon Prosperity', arguing Australia should phase out #fossilfuel exports. I make the case anew in The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand theconversation.com/from-laggard-t…
