Since the start of von der Leyen's second mandate, EU sustainable finance norms face intense dismantling pressures. My new @JEPP article shows this started years ago when the fossil fuel industry “woke up” to the EU Taxonomy. 🧵 #EUTaxonomy #SustainableFinance👇 1/10

Is the climate strategy behind the IRA dead after the GOP's massive cuts to its clean energy subsidies? In my new piece for @foreignaffairs.com, I argue: No! www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

The green transition will survive cuts to U.S. subsidies.

🚨New Publication 🚨 in New Political Economy with the one and only@mathiaslarsen.bsky.social. We propose the term 'Green Financial Planning' to tie together many of the terms in political economy at the moment, and demonstrate that green finance is much more than a few loans/bonds with green names

Brilliant (and scary) analysis
We wrote about the US ruling class taking the reins to manage its own decline. What do the Trumpist factions of capital want? Can that be squared with the interests of the MAGA base? Capable state managers could potentially thread the needle, but that's all gone. With @cedricdurand.bsky.social.

A quick summary 🧵 ! 🌍🌍🌍 @kprodani.bsky.social and I make two new claims, provocatively stated: (i) Quantifying climate transition risk is easy, biodiversity is not (ii) The most recent regulatory strategies entirely escape the "risk-based approach" said to dominate prudential policy. /1
📚✨ New paper alert: How are we doing on turning nature into a source of calculable risk? We take a critical look at how 1990s risk models and environmental science enable riskification, and study very new regulatory strategies that go beyond it. #openaccess: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Great summary on the NGFS by @krdgnydn.bsky.social!
A week prior to Trump's inauguration the Federal Reserve quit the Network for Greening the Financial System, the NGFS. I wrote about what the NGFS is and what they promote within the green central banking debates for PPE Sydney.

The revelation we were all waiting for via @nytimes.com
And here it is: NYT reports that internal emails show that DOGE officials gaining access to Treasury data wanted to use it to pause USAID payments. This underscores the arguments I made in the piece/thread below about why Treasury's defense of Musk's access is such a sham.
