““Everything bad that is happening in Polish steel mills is caused by the Green Deal,” said Dominik Kolorz, the leader of Solidarity in the Silesian-Dąbrowa region.”

—> You can sympathise with the workers here, but how does simply ignoring multiple massive fossil fuel energy crises, or the rise of India and China, (or the EU’s planned carbon border price mechanism CBAM) help find a solution?

Methodology for the identification of EU regions with higher vulnerability to severe energy poverty | Energy Poverty Advisory Hub

This EPAH report presents a methodology to identify regions most vulnerable to energy poverty across Europe. It combines a top down analysis of regional data from Eurostat with a bottom up validation from national and local experts. This approach helps confirm high risk regions while also identifying additional areas and specific communities such as cities, municipalities, and neighbourhoods.

"accelerated pursuit of critical minerals is directly contributing to acute water insecurity, livelihood disruptions, and health risks in many of the world’s most vulnerable regions"

What if phasing out fossil fuels in energy just shifts them into our food?

As leaders meet in #SantaMarta remember:
#FoodSystems use ~15% of fossil fuels & ~40% of petrochemicals.

If we ignore food, we shift the problem. Include food in #JustTransition!

From Fuel to Food: Why Agrifood Systems Belong at the Center of Fossil Fuel Transition Debates

This week governments and social movements from across the world are convening in Santa Marta, Colombia for the first ever global conference on transitioning away from fossil fuels. This is a historic moment; one that signals the emergence of real political will to treat fossil phase‑out as a cohere

#23 Lunch Talk: Interlocking Vulnerabilities in Energy Poverty: Reflections from Practice and Inclusive Community Perspectives | Energy Poverty Advisory Hub

Join us for our upcoming EPAH lunch talk where two speakers will explore how intersectional approaches can contribute to a more nuanced understanding of energy poverty, and how inclusive community engagement can help bring greater visibility to diverse and less represented experiences of vulnerability. Speakers: Lidija Živčič, PhD, Senior Expert, Focus Association for Sustainable Development

Wealthy nations must reach zero fossil‑fuel emissions by around 2030, while globally phase‑out needs to happen by 2040 or earlier. This must be accompanied by fairness both between and within nations. Professor Kevin Anderson highlights that the top 10 % of emitters cause half of global emissions and the top 1 % emit twice as much as the bottom 50 %.'
