Assessing climate ambition based on what a country says rather than what it does or is likely to do is a problem, I argue in @science.org. In how we understand NDCs we run the risk of a climate 'ambition trap' share.google/tAQeyGTzfqVG...

Avoiding the climate “ambition trap”

At the United Nations General Assembly in September, President Xi of China delivered a noteworthy update in what has been a dismal year for climate news: China would reduce its greenhouse gas emission...

1/2 #JobAlert: We’re #hiring a Fellow, Energy Transitions in New Delhi. Our work focuses on explaining the entrenched patterns in the Indian energy sector, identifying key bottlenecks to a clean energy transition, and finding solutions to ease its challenges.

Welcome comments on my recent @projectsyndicate.bsky.social piece, in which I explore the merits of re-framing climate futures as a choice among development pathways. Key is state capacity to develop a domestically owned vision of a low-carbon, competitive and resilient economy.

In many countries, the most effective climate policy over the long term might be one that shapes structural choices around urbanization and industrialization, rather than one narrowly addressing emissions regulation, @ndubash.bsky.social observes.

Please check out our new @sustainablefutures.org report examining state capacity to address extreme heat in India. Combining projections of future heat vulnerability and detailed interviews across 9 cities, the report highlights how climate impacts bring new challenges for the Indian state.

@ndubash.bsky.social, writing on climate change in India Today’s 'India @ 2025' special issue, argues for keeping the pressure on developed countries for emissions reductions and finance but also suggests three key domestic priorities for India -- see thread below t.co/AB5StZbUOg
