Emissions cap on & out opposing the Durham County Councillors voting to rescind the climate emergency declaration today. Shame on Reform for undermining DCC’s leadership on climate and shame on them for pitting social care against climate action. No future for our kids on a🔥🌎
What would those "state of the (sub)field" surveys turn up if they focused on early career scholars? Now's your chance to help find out! If you're an early-career researcher of enviro politics fill out the survey below and add your view
🎓What are ECRs in enviro politics studying? How do they study it? Why do they study it? And what professional/ intellectual supports have they found valuable along the way?
If you’re a MA or PhD/recent grad studying enviro ptx we want to hear from you! Survey will take >10m:

A fun and interesting opportunity to reflect on the future GEP agenda!
For procurement, Canada is weaving green PP into other climate policies in interesting ways. To your ? about results, it’s harder to say: disclosure and TP are domains w/ more indirect emissions impacts + many policies are new. Good on paper is a 👍 start…but it’ll be key to 👀 how things unfold…
In disclosure, what’s stands out for me is how alignment with the ambitious #ISSB standards has driven Scope 3 regulation, with Australia, Brazil, and Turkey having strong policies. For transition planning, Japan is doing some innovative work coordinating multilevel climate action.
❓When are changes in climate policy (pro or con) meaningful, and when are they just 'vibes'?
❓How do we measure implementation toward climate targets?
The Oxford Climate Policy Monitor is a new, granular tool that drills into the substance of what policies actually do. Have a look!
And a big shoutout to the Monitor’s fantastic network of law firms, and our team at the Hub, including @thomasnhale.bsky.social, Thom Wetzer, Bhavya Gupta, and Lucilla Dias
As we head toward #COP30 in Belém, Brazil, we must ensure climate ambition turns into real action. Pledges alone won’t cut it—governments must deliver.
Dive into the #OxfordClimatePolicyMonitor ‘s full report here:
🔗 climatepolicymonitor.ox.ac.uk/stocktake-re...
⚠️ Only 16/30 require financial institutions to disclose physical climate risks
⚠️ Just 17/30 require Scope 3 emissions disclosure
⚠️ A mere 15% of policies address offsets & removals
⚠️ Only 9/20 jurisdictions consider how to implement green procurement rules at the contract performance stage
So, what’s happening?
✅ 21 jurisdictions introduced new disclosure rules since 2023
✅ 24 jurisdictions have mandatory rules around transition planning
✅ 27 jurisdictions are committing to green public procurement
But, notably, quantity doesn’t equal quality..
🚀 The Oxford Climate Policy Monitor’s 2024 Annual Review is here!
In 2024, we tracked;
🏛️ 250+ climate rules
🌍 Across 30 jurisdictions
📖 Covering disclosure, transition planning & public procurement
And we dug deep:
🌐A global network of 230 lawyers helped us assess rules against 200+ data points
This week, I join @blavatnikschool.bsky.social as a postdoc! Working with super🌟 colleagues at the newly-launched Net Zero Regulation Hub, I’ll be focussed on building our Net Zero Regulation Tracker, a publicly available resource to track the state of NZ-aligned regulation worldwide.
UK makes a U-turn in climate policies. Here our @climateactiontr update. UK lost its leader position: “insufficient “. How can this happen in the midst of the climate crisis?

@profmusgrave.bsky.social could you please add me to the Polisky list? Thank you!
