Gas spent 20 years owning the evening peak. Batteries took a year to crash the party. That's disruption. Not gradual, but a rapid shift in who supplies grid's most valuable hours. The battle was never about total generation. It was about the peak & batteries are winning it. #Bettrification #BESS

Why are we observing a 'green backlash' when serious efforts to decarbonise have scarcely begun? I'm happy to share my working paper, 'The Political Consequences of Climate Ambition: Evidence from Australia', which analyses how voters respond prospectively to proposed climate policies. Brief 🧵:

Number of UK newspaper editorials arguing for more (blue) and less (red) climate action, 2011-2025. Some editorials also present a “balanced” view, which is categorised as advocating for neither “more” nor “less” climate action. These editorials are not represented in this chart.

Some personal news: last week I became a German citizen! A typically understated, bureaucratic ceremony, but it still meant a lot to me. I’m looking forward to voting in my first German election, and shouting at people when they cycle on the Bürgersteig ;)

This has been a tumultuous week in Australian climate politics! And a good example of how target setting becomes a focal point for agenda-setting on climate, as per @jacobedenhofer.bsky.social, @chflachsland.bsky.social and my paper (below) www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
theguardian.com
Bowen says cutting emissions by more than 70% ‘not achievable’ as 2035 target criticised from all sides
Albanese says 62% to 70% range represents ‘the sweet spot’ as Coalition rejects ‘economy wrecking’ target while Greens label it a ‘betrayal’

work with @claudiazwar.bsky.social on climate institutions. Policy instruments span market-based tools (e.g. carbon pricing, ETS) and non-market approaches (e.g. standards, subsidies). Instrument design structures distributive outcomes and thus reshapes coalitional politics. bsky.app/profile/clau...

🚨Global public action (climate!) is most effective when countries do it together yet we're in a period of IO backlash rooted in left-behind places Does it mean all left-behind regions hate IOs the same? @patrickbayer.bsky.social & I have a paper accepted @bjpols.bsky.social abt this🧵 osf.io/rtymv
Climate Policy Costs, Regional Politics and Backlashagainst International Cooperation by Patrick Bayer and Federica Genovese.

This paper investigates the conditions under which subnational concerns shape public assessments of international climate governance. In line with existing literature, we maintain that costly policy adjustments fuel negative views of international cooperation in policy exposed regions. At the same time, we argue that the more resentful relations are with the national center of politics, the more sympathetic these regions areto international institutions and global governance. Based on geographically targeted survey data from theUnited Kingdom, we find that fossil fuel-intensive regions with strong, institutionalized regional politics have more positive assessments of international climate cooperation than structurally similar regions where regional political institutions are less pronounced. The findings show that regional politics characteristics are key for understanding climate policy beliefs among citizens that bear the brunt of adjustments to international climate agreements
