For over a century, Puerto Rico has existed in a legal and economic limbo with the U.S., with limited political representation and funding. Policy and international affairs expert @laurakuhl.bsky.social points to its colonial relationship. Read more at @reason.org.
Puerto Rico's housing crisis is no accident—it's by design
Puerto Rico faces some of the most significant affordability challenges in the United States, yet it is often overlooked in national housing policy discussions.

A pleasure to speak with @mongabay.bsky.social about this important study on involuntary immobility. Raised many questions for loss and damage funding for me
The world’s most vulnerable people increasingly face threats related to climate change.
Many lack the ability to move away from impacts like heat, flooding and landslides.
Experts say governments and organizations can invest in low-cost interventions aimed at reducing suffering.

Global warming hits hardest for those who can’t escape it
In July 2024, a heat wave swept through the San Francisco Bay Area in the U.S. The surrounding metropolitan area, home to more than 7.5 million people, is known for its mild weather. Only about half…

COP29 will be the Finance COP. But does our science undermine financial flows to adaptation? When we talk about maladaptation and that indicators of adaptation success don't work, we risk hurting the most vulnerable people.

@jamieshinn.bsky.social and I share reflections on lessons from the Mountain Valley Pipeline for just transitions, drawing on our research with impacted communities- would love your thoughts thebulletin.org/2024/09/what...
What the Mountain Valley Pipeline debacle says about energy permitting reform and ‘just transitions’
Permitting reform is necessary to meet US climate goals, but building infrastructure quickly cannot come at the expense of justice.

While COP28 headlines may be focused on fossil fuels, without climate finance, developing countries will continue to bear the costs of energy transitions, adaptation and loss and damage.
