    "If we're serious about solving the #climate & #biodiversity crises, & not just swapping one problem for another, we need global mechanisms that take seriously the opps for joint solutions." Will we 'cop on' or 'cop out' of integrated action? @y_buckley

    "We need to move away from a focus on just relaying facts. We need to involve communities in our ongoing discussions, keeping the greater good in mind and not just the vested interests of industry." @AnnaRDavies

    "We have immense potential to act effectively & the research community has a real desire to work collaboratively. But we need 'interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary research', & not just the sciences. This is not overly radical - other countries are taking such action." @climpeter

    Is carbon pricing #ethical? 🤔 #proudsupervisor

    New #systematic lit rev in @Climate_Policy w/ Jeanne Magnetti and Bert Gordijn 👇
    https://doi.org/10.1080/14693062.2024.2416493

    1. Carbon #taxes are the least controversial pricing mechanism ✅

    2. Good #design can address most concerns 💡

    I'm honoured to be appointed by the Irish government to Ireland's new #JustTransition Commission.

    Looking forward to working with Commission chair @AliJSheridan and the rest of the Commission to advise government on how to make Ireland's climate transition fair & inclusive.
