«Jeder Kaufentscheid beeinflusst das Klima – und das Klima beeinflusst zunehmend, was im Einkaufskorb landet.»
Im LID-Artikel von Renate Hodel durfte ich gemeinsam mit Lukas Fesenfeld Einblicke zu Ernährung & Klima geben.
👉 www.lid.ch/artikel/kons...
Wie beeinflusst das Klima die Kaufentscheide?
Während Forschende aufzeigen, wie komplex die Konsumentscheidungen sind, spürt die Landwirtschaft in der Direktvermarktung unmittelbar, welche Kriterien zählen.

Excited to share our new PEGO publication: Hijacking or helping?
We show how crises like COVID-19 can shape narratives, open or close policy windows, and influence climate policy advocacy.

True — though “better” can be pretty subjective, too. Still, getting more insight into why it was rejected is much more helpful ...

Right-wing populist parties claim to be the voice of the "kleiner Mann", yet their policies overwhelmingly benefit the wealthiest families. This isn’t new—but the extent still surprises me. @zeit.de lays this out nicely, & the clearest explanation I’ve seen is Desmond’s "Poverty, by America" polisky

Swiss farmers are suing their gov't to act on #climatechange before their farms become unviable, citing losses of 10–40% over the past 3 years

Case was initially rejected & plaintiffs are still awaiting the outcome of an appeal

But it marks a significant shift in farmers' attitudes on the issue:
Why farmers are beginning to take their government to court over climate change
How a Swiss lawsuit is recasting agriculture’s role in climate policy.
