1/10 🧵 The U.S. just captured a sitting head of state in a military operation—and Trump says the U.S. will "run" Venezuela “for now.” Whatever you think of Maduro, this is the most consequential unilateral move in the hemisphere since Panama (1989).

That's amazing and well-deserved, well done Christine and IFS team!!

It’s goodnight Vienna as Paris sleeper train to Austria and Berlin hit by cuts Some Nightjet services suspended from mid-December after French withdrawal amid public budget crisis

Paris-Berlin sleeper: low carbon, 2 years old, constantly full, but currently losing SNCF a few million EUR/yr

Intl Jet fuel tax exemptions are 80 years old and cost the EU 22 million EUR/yr for the Paris-Berlin route alone.

And you're cutting... the sleeper?

The potential for CO2 is prudently estimated at 0.7°C of warming.

Meaning if we stay on the current trajectory of +2.7°C in 2100 (and not even net-zero by then), it will hardly be possible to reverse to +1.5°C.

NEW ANALYSIS: UK's solar power surges 42% to a new record, after the sunniest spring on record

* For the first time, solar was >10% of UK generation in consecutive months (April/May 2025)
* In 2025, solar has already avoided gas imports that would've cost £600m

The gender gap in carbon footprints: determinants and implications - Grantham Research Institute on climate change and the environment This paper uses detailed data on consumption patterns from France to quantify the gender gap in carbon footprints related to food and transport and investigate its underlying drivers.

📄 And much more in the full working paper, available here:
www.lse.ac.uk/granthaminst... (12/12)

🎯 Policy takeaways? Climate policy could:
- Acknowledge gender gaps as they may drive climate policy costs and support
- Target norms (masculinity ≠ meat/car) (11/12)

📉 If men adopted carbon intensity of women, keeping quantities constant, 🇫🇷 would cut 13 MtCO₂= 3x what’s required annually in food & transport to meet 2030 targets (10/12)

👨‍👩‍👧 Household structure matters.

- Food: women in couples eat more like men ➡️ convergence
- Transport: men in couples (esp. with kids) emit way more ➡️ specialization (9/12)

✈️ Planes? No gender gap. Suggests gendered preferences, not climate concern, drive red meat and car emissions
➡️ 🧠 Gendered norms could play a role here. Our findings align with studies linking masculinity to:
- red meat consumption
- car usage (8/12)

For 🥩, women simply eat less of it as a % of their diet.

For 🚙, it’s not so much that women use it less, but:

- Their car trips have a higher occupancy rate
- Based on singles, they own less carbon-intensive cars
..which decreases their emissions relative to men (7/12)

🔍 Digging further…We additionally adjusting for calories eaten and km traveled, partly reflecting biological differences and on the labor market.

🥩 Red meat and 🚙 car usage account for 70%–100% of the remaining gender gap. (6/12)

The gap decreases to 18% once we adjust for socio-economic differences between men and women (age, education, household income, employment status) (5/12)

We find average carbon footprints from food + transport:

Men: 5.3 tCO₂e
Women: 3.9 tCO₂e

⚖️ The gender gap in emissions is as big as the gap in emissions for individuals with below-median vs above-median household income (4/12)

We know surprisingly little on this question. Why?

Consumption-based emissions often estimated from household budget surveys where disentangling male and female consumption is tricky.

➡️We use individual food & transport surveys + detailed emission intensity by product, mode & car model (3/12)

Previous research show:
- Perceived costs=key determinant of climate policy support
- Climate policy costs and emissions heterogeneous within income groups
- Gender differences in consumption patterns and climate concerns

➡️Is gender a relevant dimension of heterogeneity in carbon footprint? (2/12)

🚨 New working paper! We show that women in France emit 26% less CO₂ than men from food & transport.

🥗Food + 🚗 Transport =50% of individual carbon footprint — we show this isn’t just about biology or labor market differences.
