For over a century, Puerto Rico has existed in a legal and economic limbo with the U.S., with limited political representation and funding. Policy and international affairs expert @laurakuhl.bsky.social points to its colonial relationship. Read more at @reason.org.

Ensuring community voices remain at the center of conversations about energy transitions will be even harder now but so important. Sharing an opinion piece by our community partner based on our collaborative work in Puerto Rico www.elnuevodia.com/opinion/punt...

COP29 will be the Finance COP. But does our science undermine financial flows to adaptation? When we talk about maladaptation and that indicators of adaptation success don't work, we risk hurting the most vulnerable people. New perspective from me and Aditi Mukherji today in Science

What the Mountain Valley Pipeline debacle says about energy permitting reform and ‘just transitions’
Permitting reform is necessary to meet US climate goals, but building infrastructure quickly cannot come at the expense of justice.

We could have the best climate science in the world: but without action, solutions won’t happen; and solutions won't help, if they don’t make the world a better place. That's why my new starter pack features 101 experts in climate policy, law, economics, strategy--and justice. Check it out! 🌏🧪

While COP28 headlines may be focused on fossil fuels, without climate finance, developing countries will continue to bear the costs of energy transitions, adaptation and loss and damage. A pleasure to share reflections with @npr.org www.npr.org/2023/12/13/1...

With the approval of the Loss and Damage Fund at #cop28 today, resharing our paper out last week in Nature on lessons from the Green Climate Fund. While the establishment of the Fund is an important step for climate justice, so much more is needed to ensure money reaches those who need it quickly.

As country delegations pile into Dubai’s expo city for cop28, loss and damage will be on everyone’s mind. This short article should be required reading for anyone in a position of decision-making authority around the loss and damage fund. It’s clear, concise and spot on in every aspect
