I hope the initiative will be underpinned by some cold-blooded political economy analysis to make it effective...

It's just a tough problem - doesn't mean it can/should not be tackled.
Quite the opposite, imho.

Update of perhaps my favorite global climate policy indicator: The production gap report.

In fact, the gap between countries' planned fossil fuel extraction and global climate targets has widened.

Turning the tide on these indicators is essential for climate policy success.

This has been a tumultuous week in Australian climate politics! And a good example of how target setting becomes a focal point for agenda-setting on climate, as per @jacobedenhofer.bsky.social, @chflachsland.bsky.social and my paper (below)
www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
Bowen says cutting emissions by more than 70% ‘not achievable’ as 2035 target criticised from all sides
Albanese says 62% to 70% range represents ‘the sweet spot’ as Coalition rejects ‘economy wrecking’ target while Greens label it a ‘betrayal’
