At Climate Impact Summit at the Royal Institution today:
I asked: Would it be fair to say your conclusion is: If you believe in climate change, you shouldn't vote for the Conservatives?
Former Conservative member of parliament @CSkidmoreUK: Yes, even if it's painful to say so.
Broke my Twitter moratorium to see what people are saying ahead of the ECtHR rulings today. I’m so glad I did as I found this wonderful thread - thanks @cohelongo for your excellent analysis!
We’re now only a week away from the first-ever climate rulings of the @ECHR_CEDH in the Duarte Agostinho (@Y4CJ_), KlimaSeniorinnen (@KlimaSeniorin) and Carême (@DamienCAREME) cases. To count down, I’ll be discussing a topic of relevance every day until the ruling. A🧵.

Spent a great Monday afternoon with our friends at @climatepolradar scheming about what we can cook up next. So many sticky notes and so many great ideas! Can’t wait to put them into action with the rest of the team at @GRI_LSE
We forgot to take a photo of team @climatepolradar and team Climate Change Laws of the World from @GRI_LSE as we met for our big collaboration planning meeting today. About 50 sticky notes of things to do behind us! @CatherineHigha3 & me are nerds so we stayed last for the photo.

⚖️ Climate litigation is a potentially a hugely powerful force for systemic change, with over half of cases in the last year leading to DIRECT judicial outcomes that are favourable to climate action, @GRI_LSE's report by @JoanaSetzer @CatherineHigha3 shows.

1/6 🎓🔬 I'm thrilled to share our new working paper. We find evidence that stock markets are starting to react to key climate litigation by devaluing the stocks of defending Carbon Majors.
