I'm very much looking forward to chairing this talk by Len Seabrooke as our first IPEN event of the year!

New article!

This review surveys the state of knowledge regarding central bank activity on climate change, and argues that there is considerable indeterminacy in the trajectory of this activity & its potential to contribute to effective climate action.

Ha! Perhaps! It came out of a fantastic workshop so we wanted to include all of the workshop members in the output!

It was my first time with more than two authors! Mat & I did the big stuff and the rest of our contributors helped in suggesting, revising, correcting, etc. It was actually a great experience.

Thanks, Kardelen!

This paper is the collaborative product of a workshop held at @manchestersci.bsky.social two years ago. Co-authors are: @matpaterson.bsky.social, @iliasalami.bsky.social, @danbaileypoleco.bsky.social, Sarah Bracking, @jbrgreen.bsky.social, Eric Helleiner, @james7jackson.bsky.social. . . /7

As the political and economic leaders around the world come to terms with yet another crisis—the one driven by Donald Trump’s administration—the time is ripe to understand how crises are shaping central banks’ willingness and ability to tackle climate change. /6

We then argue that how this critical juncture is resolved depends critically on national variations in the institutional character of central banks and their political context. /5

We explore three dynamics that generate this openness to various potential trajectories for climate action: competing interpretations of inflation’s implications for climate policy; shifting forms of expertise within central banks; and attempts at global coordination of central bank activity. /4

We look at how the combined crises of COVID-19, inflation and the Russian invasion of Ukraine have affected central banks’ actions. Some central banks have used these crises as opportunities to expand their role while others have succumbed to pressure to withdraw from climate action. /3

As central banks and investors have started to desert the global institutions, like the NGFS and GFANZ, that were designed to signal their commitment to tackling climate change, the future role of central banks in climate action is all the more indeterminate – and urgent. /2

What role can central banks play in addressing climate change today? In our just-published article, we argue that we are at a critical juncture in which the future is highly indeterminate. Written with @matpaterson.bsky.social + 14 other amazing scholars /1

This is bad bad bad bad bad bad very bad no good. www.wsj.com/us-news/educ...

I think the academic community can help US academics, as well as academia in general, by providing safe haven for datasets that are being targeted by the Trump administration.

Fantastic to have an essay published in this awesome collection!

An unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government.

DOGE is not a real government agency.
DOGE has no authority to make spending decisions.
DOGE has no authority to shut programs down or to ignore federal law.
DOGE’s conduct cannot be allowed to stand.

Thanks for the shout-out. I agree that the challenges to depoliticization as an effective political strategy in the context of significant instability are very real!

Fascinating (and worrying) post by @stephaniekelton.bsky.social who put Deepseek to work to assess the impact of a 25% US tariffs on imports from Canada on Canadian GDP. It, er, took Deepseek 12 seconds...
