Led by @jlmacarthur.bsky.social, our team just published A Roadmap to Resilience. We look to int’l community & co-op energy projects. We show how these models can accelerate the energy transition while promoting equity & democracy. @accessnetwork.bsky.social www.cecooperative.ca/sites/www.ce...

Great to work with @chadwalker.bsky.social + colleagues on a new paper in Canadian Geographies: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/.... In this, we analyze Canadians’ views towards local energy system change (esp. hosting generation, agreeing to external control, and trading electricity). #SDG7

Five ways to improve net zero action – our new research highlights lessons from the past
The best net zero solutions galvanise people and make policy relatable. By giving communities a sense of agency, successful transformation is more likely.

Climate science never said "we only have 12 years until we fall off a cliff" - but sadly, many thought it did; and even more sadly, that misleading message fed right into the script for Trump's WEF remarks today. Here's what the science has always said:
The conclusions of the IPCC's 1.5C report: every action matters, every bit of warming matters.

In honour of our 1st week back... Here's a cool paper on the importance of teaching children about smart local energy systems in the UK. *Why aren't we teaching this? Smart local energy systems and the young person's perspective* bera-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

The UK public supports a shift to increasingly decentralised energy systems (within reason). However, scaling up/out local energy systems will require careful public engagement to ensure that they are designed in ways that work for people. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
