Since Israel attacked Iran, German media outlets & journalists of all political persuasions have started questioning international law and or heralding a new age where the law of the strongest applies in international relationships.

A thread to which I will keep adding / 1
2. The ex editor of Bild, now at far-right website NIUS
3. Colum in center-left daily Süddeutsche Zeitung
4. The UK & Anglosphere correspondent of Die Zeit (high-brow, centrist) Image
5. The economics correspondent of the same Die Zeit
6. German state-funded television network & international broadcaster DW
[Given the many Germanophobic reactions, a few clarifications (which should really go without saying):

- no, not all columnists and journalists argue that way
- yes, there have been calls for respecting international law
- no this doesn't mean Germans are Nazis]
7. Private TV ntv, on its website n-tv.de/politik/politi…Image
8. Right-wing daily Welt calls for an end to the government's "fennel tea diplomacy" which it sees as not supportive of Israel enough, and too preoccupied with international law
9. Another column in centrist, high-brow German magazine Die Zeit denouncing "intolerable, one-sided" appeals to international law behind which "murderers are hiding"
zeit.de/kultur/2025-06…Image
10. Another column in Die Zeit lamenting "the bigoted incantation "international law! International law!" which "has nothing to do with a civilised political debate "

The article under 10. has just been withdrawn Image

We have published a new paper and it's one I'm really happy with. A collaboration with Janina Welsch of ILS Dortmund.

We look at the relationship between migration background / ethnicity and travel behaviour, using UK data.

THREAD on the findings rdcu.be/eS96sImage
There's a few studies on the travel behaviour of migrants / ethnic minority groups - see this review paper

They often find that they use cars less, but the mechanisms behind it are not so clear

There are also few studies from Europedoi.org/10.1080/014416…
We looked into this using the UK @usociety dataset. It includes rich information on migration background, oversamples the main ethnic minorities, and allows us include information on accessibility by different modes & share of people by ethnicity in the neighbourhood.

This book finally got published today - free for download here

A monumental effort documenting climate obstruction across sectors, countries & governance levels, by 110 @ClimateSSN scholars

I was chuffed to contribute to one of the chapters (thread) cssn.org/news-research/…Image
@ClimateSSN The book (edited by Timmons Roberts and colleagues) really covers an impressive amount of ground. Image
@ClimateSSN I was one of the contributing authors to Chapter 3, which focuses on the role of actors in the coal, utilities and transport sectors.

Transport here includes not just road transport / the automotive industry (on which I provided some input) but also shipping and aviation. Image

The German Education Ministry is apparently considering introducing quotas for children with "migration background" in schools.

Under the German definition, this would include my Italian-German, UK-born, 3-language speaking child. zeit.de/politik/deutsc…Image
As the article explains, this proposal may well be unconstitutional Image
And in breach of international agreements that Germany subscribes to Image

How far we've come. A few years ago "transport poverty" was just a niche academic concept.

Last week, the EU has published its recommendations on how to tackle transport poverty, along with a helpful data dashboard

THREAD with my first impressions transport.ec.europa.eu/news-events/ne…Image
The reason why "transport poverty" is suddenly getting attention is ETS 2, which is expected to increase motor fuel prices a lot from 2027, and the associated "Social Climate Fund" which aims at supporting groups that are vulnerable to such price increases. Image
The Commission outlines a number of eligible measures which Member States can include in their SCF plans to tackle transport poverty Image

We recently published the first study to investigate the determinants of air travel behaviour with panel data.

In practice: what factors explain why someone flies more or less a few years later?

THREAD on the main findings link.springer.com/article/10.100…Image
We first review existing cross-sectional evidence on the deteminants of air travel - summarised in this table (which the reviewers didn't like so didn't make it into the final paper :) ) Image
Why it's interesting to use panel data?

1. How travel behaviour changes over the life course is interesting in and of itself

2. It provides better evidence of causality than cross-sectional data

3. Shows which groups & trends are driving rapid growth in air travel
