I'm not attending this year, but my top tip for the @rgs.org conference, or any conference really - if you want people to find you after your presentation to ask questions about your work, wear a distinctive top. If you'd rather remain incognito, dress accordingly. Also, take snacks. #RGS2026

New article from @pancholewis.bsky.social! Fluid hope in a climate emergency: Lessons from an English citizens’ jury. Is it possible to have hope for the future in a climate emergency? doi.org/10.1080/0964...

ABSTRACT
What does it mean to build an authentic politics of hope in a climate crisis? Researchers have explored this question by examining the emergence of different forms of climate hope. This includes urgent, slow, and radical hope, each of which expresses different promises for the future. In this paper, I make the case for attending to ‘fluid hope’ to foreground how different forms of climate hope can be co-constitutive and are subject to being re-configured. I do so by drawing on a case study, that of the Copeland People’s Panel, a citizens’ jury in northern England, where people’s experiences of hope changed in and after the Panel. I conclude by explaining what possibilities the concept of fluid hope affords for empirical study and normative debate about hope in a climate emergency.

Carbon budget seven is out! The CCC position is that the main route to industrial decarbonisation is the electrification of heat. CCS for chemicals, cement and lime. Hydrogen to play a supporting role where electrification is either impractical or not cost effective. #IndustrialDecarbonisation
