Dear _ ,

What can I do to enable your future to happen? Given the opportunity, I would vote for bold climate & transit policy; I would support Indigenous-led planning at the respective levels of government; I would make & support public investments in rail & renewables; I can eat locally-grown food. What carries food northward? Dream, speak, organize, repeat. What motivates a high-speed rail stop in Lethbridge? #JustTransition #PublicTransit #FoodSovereignty #PrairieFuture #ClimateAction 🚄🌱⚡️🫶🏽

Someone whose posts aren’t quite public served as a reminder to me to point out there’s an EU fund specifically dedicated to helping people in coal and similar regions with the energy transition.

Of course it is also up to member states (who control much bigger budgets) and it isn’t just about extreme cases like coal mining, but skills in every industry

Interesting article on Shanxi, China’s coal belt province!

Their whole economy depends on coal, and people don’t know much about climate change.

Nevertheless:

“People are quite happy to move on, if they are provided with good training and strong support to help that transition go smoothly”

After all, coal mining in a coal economy isn’t that great, in reality…

Two-thirds of global heating caused by richest 10%, study suggests…that means us (or at least me)

“if the whole world population had emitted as the top 10%, 1% or 0.1% had, the temperature increase would have been 2.9C, 6.7C or a completely unsurvivable 12.2C”

One of the single most impactful climate emergency changes: Allowing front-yard and driveway businesses.

This would make neighborhoods walkable over night. New jobs in local places. Cafes, grocery shops, repair clinics, tool libraries, arcades, and beyond - right on your street.

Destroying oil demand, commutes, and car dependency over night.

This policy change can happen in as little as 3 sentences, according to Hazel Borys and Strong Towns. pHow can we make this happen everywhere?

Check out the full video, "Why Did We Make Front Yard Businesses Illegal?", which shows some awesome examples and gets into what we can do today — from About Here, Urbanarium, and Uytae Lee.

And share and boost to get people talking about this. This is one of the first and most important changes we can make, for climate emergency transitions. From a path dependency standpoint, it needs to happen first too -- making what we can walkable and low energy to start, and then seeing what we need.

I've been working on this #FacingSouth story for a while, so I'm excited to finally be able to share it! I wrote about the new #Rivian plant being built east of #Atlanta and the implications it holds for a #justtransition and the importance of engaging frontline communities in these huge #EV plant deals. The #South is quickly becoming a very important place for #EVmanufacturing, and companies like Rivian and #Hyundai will have a large presence in #Georgia facingsouth.org/2023/07/ev-meg

Advertising&celebrating own publication... Important selfcare ;)

Collaborating with @sidsareen led to this hybrid #STS, #digitalisation, #greendeal, #energy research piece, published open access today: 'Alleviation of energy #poverty through transitions to #lowcarbon energy #infrastructure'

in which we explore conceptually thinking about #JustTransition for meeting #EnergyPoverty challenges in a society that experiences #digitalisation.

Scott Matter

An overdue #introduction 👋 (thanks for the prompt when I switched instances @aussocialadmin )

My name is Scott and I live in Sydney (on Wangal Country in the Inner West). My pronouns are he / him.

I was born and raised in Canada (Alberta, even), and have lived in some great places around the world (Montreal, NYC, Vermont, rural Kenya). Being a Canadian man of a certain age, yes, I play hockey. Even in Australia.

I've been very (not extremely) online since the 90s. First it was rec.music.phish, then fark.com, then the Big Tech Socials.

I strive to behave with compassion and to be more kind than nice. But I also shitpost from time to time because internet.

I'm interested in lots of things and barely maintain a blurred boundary between personal and professional. See hashtags below or on my profile for a more specific list, but I think it's generally encompassed by the concept of #interbeing which I understand as being coined by Thich Nhat Hanh and drawn from Vietnamese and older Buddhist concepts.
