In our @climate-policy.bsky.social editorial @yacobmulugetta.bsky.social, @pieterpauw.bsky.social and I unpack what today's uncertain times mean for climate policy. We argue for renewed attention, but with greater focus on how climate policy is embedded in larger political and economic questions.

Welcome comments on my recent @projectsyndicate.bsky.social piece, in which I explore the merits of re-framing climate futures as a choice among development pathways. Key is state capacity to develop a domestically owned vision of a low-carbon, competitive and resilient economy.

Project Syndicate @projectsyndicate.bsky.social · May 30

In many countries, the most effective climate policy over the long term might be one that shapes structural choices around urbanization and industrialization, rather than one narrowly addressing emissions regulation, @ndubash.bsky.social observes.

The Climate Challenge as a Development Opportunity | by Navroz K. Dubash - Project Syndicate

Navroz K. Dubash argues that climate goals need to be wedded to nationally framed economic strategies.
