📢 56 academics warn corporate lawsuits threaten UK climate action

As the UK is sued over the blocked West Cumbria coal mine, academics warn that ISDS lets investors challenge climate action in private tribunals.

Today, more than 90% of world trade relies on trade finance.

Over 75% of major food-trading companies’ income now comes from financial operations like agricultural derivatives – not from moving wheat, coffee, cocoa or other agricultural products.

What if change is actually stability in disguise?

In a new perspective paper, @peternewell.bsky.social, Oliver Bugge Hunt and I argue that we should not understand change as the opposite of stability. Rather, we can think of change and stability as co-constitutive of one another.

Trasformismo: Advancing understandings of the relationship between stability and change in transitions Transitions research explores the dimensions and loci of stability and change. In theorising the interrelation between the two, the neo-Gramscian noti…

A just transition requires roadmaps to phase-out fossil fuels and ISDS At COP30, calls to phase-out fossil fuels were blocked, but Colombia pushed on -also warning that ISDS remains a major barrier to the transition.

📢 A just transition means phasing out fossil fuels and the ISDS system that protects them 📢

A new contribution from @kylat.bsky.social sets out why reform to the investor–state dispute settlement (ISDS) system is essential for phase-outs.
