Revisiting central bank independence for the climate era: insights from the People’s Bank of China - Grantham Research Institute on climate change and the environment This paper explores the relationship between independence and climate action through an in-depth study of the PBoC, comparing it with Western central banks.

This new report from the Grantham Institute is crucial. And it's quite striking to see it published... it seems to indicate people are willing to consider policy ideas long treated as taboo.

That’s nothing: Where I’m from, “junior scholar” lasts to 42.

Why do global environmental institutions multiply and persist even when they seem unable to address biodiversity loss and environmental governance failures effectively?

Our new OA article with @jacquelinebest.bsky.social in @risjnl.bsky.social tries to answer this question. 1/7

Late stage capitalism meets the misguidedness of GDP accounting: when one big chunk of growth is a technology bubble responsible for huge greenhouse gas emissions and another big chunk is cleaning up the mess caused by those emissions

US jury finds French bank BNP Paribas complicit in Sudan atrocities The French banking giant said the ruling by a jury in New York was 'clearly wrong' and that it plans to appeal.

Looking for readings — what scholarship historicizes and theorizes financiers’ legal responsibility for financing harm, how have conceptions of their responsibility changed over time, and how are these perhaps very different in different countries?

Hey Christian! Could I be in here too? :)

The Long Heat Warming is about to hit one and a half degrees, perhaps two degrees soon after. What do we do then? In the overshoot era, schemes abound for muscular adaptation or for turning the heat down at a later...

The Long Heat, the book by Andreas Malm and I on carbon removal and geoengineering, will be released by @versobooks.bsky.social in October. It's available now for pre-ordering:

As the revision of the #SFDR comes to an end, I am joining @reclaimfinance.org and +120 experts in calling on the @ec.europa.eu exclude companies developing new fossil fuel projects a minimum criterion across all #SFDR product categories.
There's no room for new fossil fuels in sustainable funds!

Ahem, the meek European derisking state

Really important article with a razor-sharp argument: Contra the notion of universal ownership, @kprodani.bsky.social et al. show that Big-3 portfolios "largely exclude the very parts of the global economy where environmental harms will be most severe."

Wonderful list. Would also love to be on it if still possible!

Update: this list has now 100 (!) women political economists to follow! 🤩

Thanks so much for the (self-)recommendations, I'm thrilled to connect and reconnect with you all here & so looking forward to learning more about your work!

Still 50 spots open! 🙋

Hi Graham, not sure I follow?

*small correction: should have added "e.g." in front of "big tech & financials" in the main post. Our argument is more about what they're not invested in than what they are invested in :) For the latter, Gibadullina 2023 offers a great overview, esp figures 4 and 8 (manufacturing is also prominent).

and @pgolka.bsky.social? :)

Perhaps also interesting for @jvtk.bsky.social, @danielagabor.bsky.social, @annekervers.bsky.social, @jasprblom.bsky.social, @simonschairer.bsky.social, @iliasalami.bsky.social, @nicolaranger.bsky.social, @nataschavanderzwan.bsky.social, @matthewarcher.bsky.social, @johanneslundb.bsky.social

We think that this might not be possible without collaborating with civil society to “follow the money” from the ground up. @forestsandfinance.bsky.social @globalwitness.org @greenpeaceusa.bsky.social @greenpeace.eu @foeeurope.bsky.social @milieudefensie.bsky.social @ran.org

The broader point: Instead of trying to equate & group together the financial materialities that ecological degradation poses to “civilization,” the economy, financial actors, and financial stability, let's empirically contrast and geographically situate them – including along class lines.
