Sydney people: Our annual McCalman Lecture is almost here. Please register and come along to a fantastic talk on community based responses to disaster and resilience.

In my environmental justice seminar today, we discussed the extent to which research on climate justice is informed by knowledge on justice outside the climate field. This was inspired by @bcoolsaet.bsky.social et al's 2025 response to a piece by Zimm et al from 2024. 1/n

We (@crossdale.bsky.social, Christina Pantazis, @roxana-pessoa.bsky.social, Tiê Franco Brotto and I) present the first academic peer-reviewed article, studying the criminalisation and repression of climate and environmental protest as a global phenomenon. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Climate fatalism is just as wrong as climate denial — it's never 'too late' for change Veteran environmentalist David Suzuki believes the time has passed us to stop climate change. He's wrong.

HEY here's a new piece for @crikey.com.au!

Sparked by David Suzuki's recent comments, but more broadly in response to the recent rise of performative fatalism: the reassuring, widely popular and lazy idea that fighting back against fossil fuels is worthless

White Lies A meditation on the Māori experience of European settler-colonial violence in Aotearoa New Zealand

E.P.A. Plans to Close All Environmental Justice Offices An internal memo directs the closure of offices designed to ease the heavy pollution faced by poor and minority communities.

Of course. "Mr. Zeldin’s move effectively ends three decades of work at the E.P.A. to try to ease the pollution that burdens poor and minority communities, which are frequently located near highways, power plants, industrial plants, and other polluting facilities.
