- Reposted by Freddie DaleySponsoren-Deals mit fossilen Firmen haben aber auch Risiken, auf die @freddiedaley.bsky.social von Badvertising hinweist. Ein Hochwasser, das das Stadion trifft, und schon wird die Absurdität, dass man sich von einem Öl-Konzern sponsern lässt, überdeutlich. Aber mit diesem PR-Risiko lebt der HSV.

- Reposted by Freddie DaleyFossil fuel companies will try to sue states that ban new or existing production. When I speak with powerful actors in energy policy, this fear is a central concern in how governments think about the risks of phasing out fossil fuels. Here is an important intervention in how to reduce those risks:

- Reposted by Freddie Daley🚨 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 - UEFA's climate impact In new research with Scientists for Global Responsibility, we reveal a surge in climate-damaging emissions from UEFA’s club tournaments: the Champions League, Europa League & Conference League. ⚽🌍 Here are our key findings and recommendations. 🧵 Full report 👇
- ⚠️ NEW PAPER ⚠️ @peternewell.bsky.social and I have a new piece out in Environmental Politics on the politics of phasing out fossil fuels in the UK 🇬🇧 - and what it means for fossil fuel phase-out policies globally 🧵
- We look at the UK’s unique political economy and explore three major cases: ⚫ the legacy of the unjust coal transition 📉 the successful fossil fuel export finance ban 🛢️ the push to end North Sea oil & gas licensing Each shows how the state mediates between capital, labour & civil society.
- We distil 3️⃣ big lessons for scaling supply-side climate policy: 1️⃣ 🔐 Securitisation Phase-out policies are often blocked in the name of 'energy security'. We argue for a prefigurative politics - framing fossil fuel phase-outs as enhancing energy security, not undermining it.

View full threadTaken together, our findings point to the need for state leadership, structural change, and social mobilisation to make fossil fuel phase-out a reality, both in the UK and beyond. The full paper is available here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
