I have seen calls for naming the #LossandDamageFunds as #HuqFund in memory of Prof @SaleemulHuq. It is a great idea. Also, "huq" means rights or dues in Urdu, making it an apt name, as indeed compensation for losses and damages is due to those who have not contributed to CC.

How can policymakers make the #justtransition a living reality? This fab new JustDecarb report is a must-read setting out handy frameworks for planning, participation, financial support, accountability & evaluation. Lots of wisdom in here. Read here: bit.ly/3Mo0o9s

Industrial policy is back as part of the response to the overlapping emergencies the world is facing. Given the multiplicity of challenges, multi-solving policies and smart conditionalities is what we need. Important new study by @Isabel_Estevez @rooseveltinst 🧶

When thinking about curbing the downsides of the derisking state, I often struggled with the insights of the classical literature on applying Amsden and Wade's Japan-Korea conditionalities to today's economies. @Isabel_Estevez_ has come closest to solving my problem.

NEW: Multi-Solving, Trade-Offs, and Conditionalities in Industrial Policy As debates around implementation continue, I dig into how policymakers can optimize the impact of industrial policies 🧵 rooseveltinstitute.org/publications/m…

“The agreement could even be an opportunity to prove that sectoral bargaining—where unions organize an entire industry rather than at specific workplaces—can work in some fields.” @leee_harris

NEW: @Isabel_Estevez_ on @PitchforkEcon podcast, talking industrial policy. How care and agriculture are "industries" too, and what policy can do to shape them for the public interest. pitchforkeconomics.com/episode/how-in…

“All these disasters spark talk of a ‘new normal.’ That, too, is a form of denial. What we face is planetary instability and disruption of everyday life as burning carbon loads the climate dice so that it throws six after six.” phenomenalworld.org/analysis/globa…

Industrial policy is not just about manufacturing & building. It's about *what* we're manufacturing, *how* we're building, and ultimately, whether or not we're promoting our collective well-being. @Isabel_Estevez_ discusses on @PitchforkEcon: pitchforkeconomics.com/episode/how-in…

A microeconomics perspective on inflation: "Free rail tickets aren’t the first thing that comes to mind when you think of anti-inflation policy, but it makes sense if the goal is to shift demand away from scarce fossil fuels."
