Thrilled to see this published open access. Thank you to the team @IAJournal_CH and the reviewers for their feedback and encouragement during the drafting. Grateful also to my @LboroIRPH colleagues and others who provided comments along the way.

I am absolutely thrilled to share that our webinar series, organised by @SoberaniaeClima and supported by @EscolaSupDefesa and NETZMIL project @lborouniversity, will start in November. Register at linktr.ee/soberaniaeclima and join us! #netzmil #lowcarbonwarfare #defencestudies

📣SAVE THE DATE! Our #MilitaryInnovationNetwork (MIN) is happy to announce our next event on 01/12: Seminar on Contemporary Military Innovation: Views from the North and the South in @lborolondon. Hybrid event with limited in-person attendance. RSPV: lboro.ac.uk/news-events/ev…

The energy transition is reshaping the modern battlefield and geostrategic competition. The latest IISS research report by @shiloh_fetzek examines 10 countries and their plans to address the complexities of the defence energy transition. Find out more: go.iiss.org/499wQWO

Hello! I'm trying to build my awareness of climate security experts across the disciplines in U.K. academia. If you're doing research relevant to cli sec - can you tell me a few buzz words to summarise your focus so I can add you to my list of expertise?

This is an important thread from @DrSimEvans on what the NIC assessment yesterday said about net zero costs. Too little of the net zero cost debate considers costs of climate change impacts or fossil fuel infrastructure. There isn’t a cost-free ‘do nothing’ option.

Carbon emissions from international shipping exceed those of a highly industrialised country such as Germany. And 40% of all cargo (by weight) are fossil fuels on their way to be burned or chemicals derived directly from fossil fuels. Graph by @edans

Opening today, as part of #BlackHistoryMonth, Black Heritage: Narratives of Diaspora – an exhibition celebrating and reflecting the experiences of colleagues, students and alumni. Visit before 10 November. bit.ly/3ExlhMA

Thrilled to find my paper on ‘Low-carbon warfare’ has made it onto the ⁦@IAJournal_CH⁩ Reading List for The Environment academic.oup.com/ia/pages/the_e…

A Tufton St guide to "honest debate" on net-zero (cont) 4⃣Pretend fossil-based tech is free 5⃣Ignore saving of buying less fossil fuel 6⃣Confuse MW & MWh so you can say wind costs £1,300,000/MWh (reality is £50-70/MWh) 7⃣Falsely assert gas power must close early & make up cost

My 'Animals and the ethics of war', co-authored with @Dr_SVG, has been published in its final form in @IntRelationsJ. The #openaccess paper maps out a research agenda for a genuinely inclusive account of #justwar. #animalrights #animalethics journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00…

The final panel of the day explores how militaries can decarbonise. @DMDepledge kicks this off: “The question isn’t can militaries decarbonise, of course they can, but will they?”

The Military Emissions Gap conference kicks off with Linsey Cottrell of @ceobs_org explaining why the military is an important focus for global greenhouse gas emissions reduction. Join us online for a whole day of panels on military and conflict emissions ⬇️

Important warning from @IEA that government's hydrogen plans are not yet backed by the policies needed to turn a growing low carbon project pipeline into actual production capacity. businessgreen.com/news/4127819/t…

Weird thing about Sunak's reported plan to ditch climate policies is that the people who are happiest on there are those who think he's scrapping net zero altogether, which he's not.

Powerful words from Governor Newsom of California “The climate crisis is a fossil fuel crisis. Everything else, you’re playing around the margins, playing around the edges. This is the cause, we’re experiencing the effect, now we seek remedy, & that's what this lawsuit's about."
