It's finally out! Not yet a theory of the climate strike, but at least a "towards" :) Feels like a very timely moment given the many hopeful alliances we saw emerge during last week's global climate strike. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

And today, Defiant Utrecht! Students and faculty are not put off by the cancellation of our demo. Here we are anyway, to defend public higher education. Plus speeches in parliament and lots of local actions in all universities too! ✊🟥

We need more analyses of the labour-climate nexus. Migrant workers from socially marginalised backgrounds suffer disproportionately from extreme weather. Add to this real estate corruption & you get a deadly mix. My piece 👇🏾on the Bangalore tragedy w/ @Rathod_Sachi in @thenewsminute thenewsminute.com/karnataka/how-…

Die Leute in Valencia sind angepisst. Die Regierung hatte alle Infos zur drohenden Flut und hat die Leute nicht gewarnt. Gestern waren 35.000 Leute auf der Straße. Neben dem Staat und sein schweres Gerät fehlt hier vor Ort aber noch was anderes: die Klimabewegung 🧵

Feeling very grateful to have worked with @bernajurema on this, and for learning so much from @Prof_FSultana and our reviewers on this journey!!

The publication coincides with that of the 1st investigation into the war crimes committed in Gaza (co-sponsored by ENI, BP and Chevron). The gaping silence of the (esp German) climate movement in this matter only reinforces the importance of fossil imperialism as an analytic...

The book chapter @bernajurema and I wrote on Fossil Imperialism is out and available open access! It's part of the Confronting Climate Coloniality volume edited by @Prof_FSultana, the whole book being very timely unfortunately taylorfrancis.com/chapters/oa-ed…

I'm excited to share that the book chapter I co-wrote with @climatexstrike, "State Power and Capital in the Climate Crisis: A Theory of Fossil Imperialism," has been published: taylorfrancis.com/chapters/oa-ed…
