Schon seit dem Abschluss des🚦Koalitionsvertrags gibt es Streit um die Reform des #Klimaschutzgesetzes . Um was geht es dabei? Was ist die Rolle von #Sektorzielen ? Wie ist die Interaktion von 🇩🇪nationaler und 🇪🇺EU-Ebene, v.a in Bezug auf ESR und #ETS2 ?
Eine Einordnung: 1/n🧵

One week to go to apply for this exciting postdoc position identifying and reducing #AdministrativeBurden and #Sludge in Ireland's #ClimateAction Plan.

Eating locally is not an effective way to reduce the carbon footprint of your diet.

Employing the unemployed of Marienthal: Evaluation of a guaranteed job program
(with Lukas Lehner)

Using multiple evaluation approaches, we find strong positive effects of a job guarantee for the long-term unemployed.

A case study in which only 2.6% of an investigator's MTurk sample was composed of valid participants. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/17…

Recently I learned about a man who has trained 1,000+ people to block wind and solar projects.

I read through all his training materials, presentations, and seminars.

Here's what I learned about him and how his students plan to 'win the war on clean energy.'

a new report on the state of climate action looked at 40 indicators of change and found not a single one is on track to keep the world from heating to the level at which world leaders promised to try to stop global warming 1/

Banning super-short haul flights is getting a lot of attention as a way to reduce aviation emissions.

But how effective it would be in reducing emissions? In our new paper with Frédéric Dobruszkes & Laurette Mathieu we find: *very little*. doi.org/10.1016/j.jtra…

“Nearly 100% of published studies… confirm the initial hypothesis. This is an amazing accomplishment given the complexity of the human mind and human behaviour. Somehow, as psychological scientists, we always find the expected result; we always win!” royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Glad to share a new behavioural study from European Commission on #darkpatterns from the #consumerprotection perspective. Main takeaway: dark patterns are highly prevalent and unfairly distort the decisions of EU consumers. op.europa.eu/en/publication…

There is inequality in who causes climate change, who experiences its consequences, and who can fix it. As we show in @NatureEnergyJn, people with high socioeconomic status disproportionately affect the success or failure of climate mitigation. A thread.
