And here's the shorter, seven page version: www.unrisd.org/en/library/p...
I wrote about just transition in Brazil for UNRISD - TLDR, lots of different impacts, from new kinds of energy, from old ones, with different implications for different groups (some hit urban, some indigenous, some quilombolos, some labor) www.unrisd.org/en/library/p...
Really interesting and plausible parsing of who was on which side of a roadmap to phase out fossil fuels at COP30
Great to have the book out there...110 authors, it's a Great Leap Forward in our understanding of why we're failing to act on climate change.
Book is free at CSSN.org

SCOOP: Carbon Brief has exclusively obtained a list of 84 countries "opposed" to adding a fossil-fuel roadmap to COP30 deal – but our analysis found a series of contradictions & likely errors
For eg 14 on list are also roadmap "supporters"

As we witness climate obstruction in real time at #COP30, this @cssn.org presser w/ @timmonsroberts.bsky.social, @daniellefalzon.bsky.social, @maxboykoff.bsky.social and Carlos Milani to discuss a new global assessment on climate obstruction is rather timely.
