Intentionally reducing economic growth could help tackle climate change, but could such a strategy ever win political support? ✍ @aidanregan.bsky.social @hannaschwander.bsky.social @cyrben.bsky.social & Tim Vlandas blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2...

The challenge with climate action is not about the maths – it is about the politics

Economists who would abandon growth to prevent climate change have done their calculations on the planet, but they have not done them on voters.

Cyril Benoît, politiste : « La proportionnelle n’engendre pas le compromis, elle le présuppose »

Le fonctionnement des démocraties à dominante proportionnelle ne dépend pas de leurs systèmes électoraux, mais des institutions sociales qui les soutiennent, explique Cyril Benoît dans une tribune au « Monde ». Or, la France s’est éloigné de la culture de la concertation sociale.

Good opportunity to criticise the Prius and its hybrid technology. It came out in the 1990s at a time of strong interest in pure EVs & contributed to kill its momentum. This fence-sitting between climate and economics has delayed the rise of EVs for years as well as the broader energy transition.

Funnily enough, this very good piece calling for a "green economic populism" (by @triofrancos.bsky.social & @aldasky.bsky.social) came out just when we submitted ours on the need for "climate populism": www.nytimes.com/2025/01/07/o... We are all living in the same conjuncture, I guess..
