@ClimateSSN The book (edited by Timmons Roberts and colleagues) really covers an impressive amount of ground.
@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.
@ClimateSSN The chapter identifies the main actors contributing to climate obstruction within each sector...
@ClimateSSN ...as well as the main action strategies they adopt
@ClimateSSN ...and the narratives they use
@ClimateSSN Overall I was struck by the similarities between what happens in the road transport sector and the other sectors examined - certainly demonstrates the value of bringing these sectors together! (End)

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.
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.
The Commission outlines a number of eligible measures which Member States can include in their SCF plans to tackle transport poverty
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 :) )
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
Having grown up in Berlusconi's Italy, I can feel it in my bones that when they win the first time, it's tough, but when they win *again*, after all they've demonstrated, *that's* the really hard one to take
When it happens the first time, you can think "This is an aberration, this was a tantrum, people don't really stand behind this, this is not who we are". The second time around really brings home that yes, this is what many of "us" are & stand for.
But in a way, it cures you from populism. No there is no innocent, well-intentioned mass of people who have been misled. We live in liberal democracies with a lot of people who fundamentally reject key principles of liberal democracy.
