This is from an interview with Catherine de Vries as part of her wonderful new substack series Etched In Marble, where she interviews econ/pol nonfic writers on writing (Disclosure: I am speaking to Catherine tomorrow! But I’m genuinely loving the series & questions it provokes)

.@MkBlyth on why he writes for public audiences 💯 couldn’t agree more as a much more junior researcher I also find I often get my better ideas when I’m not tethered to the academic article format (& its potential, often scarier readers, no offense)

Back in May I spoke with the excellent Maxine Fowe from @surplusmagazin about green (state) capitalism, unbankable transitions and state capacity 💸 I was giving birth on the day the interview was published (!) so sharing now instead 💚 [In German]

Susan Sontag wrote that illness is the night side of life. Everyone holds dual citizenship, in the kingdom of the well and that of the sick… sooner or later, each of us is obliged, at least for a spell, to identify ourselves as citizens of that other place.

@RIPEJournal If climate finance only flows to what’s bankable, how do we fund what's actually necessary? My research contributes to the boon in evidence on how derisking locks governments into private finance-oriented & ineffective transitions - leaving essential but unbankable sectors behind

@RIPEJournal Chile has world-leading decarbonization plans. But in practice, only sectors aligned with the investability logic & potential to lure private capital (& the state's/MDBs' growth strategies) - like green hydrogen - see real implementation efforts. Elsewhere, policies stall

New paper in @RIPEJournal: What if state capacity isn’t hollowed out by derisking but used to signal feasibility to investors? My research suggests states build capacity for bankable policies. The problem: where $$$ doesn’t flow, capacity won't grow. https://t.co/HmMDxTe87U

What does de-risked decarbonization mean for state capacity across sectors? I am THRILLED that this article is now out in RIPE 🔓 Current climate finance regimes lock in lopsided transitions - states need resources for unbankable transitions. https://t.co/LbZmpUdp0I

Did not know this was a real giveaway until today (or that the term for them was 'em dashes') but know that I have been reading your working papers & Tweets w suspicion for a while now when I've spotted one of these long dashes—& I'm not the only one lol https://t.co/n0qv6oEKvD

Viral posts and clips on social media suggest the em dash is the product of AI chatbots, with some calling the punctuation mark a 'ChatGPT hyphen.'

Thought this was excellent on the financing of biodiversity, also reminded me of one of a great article (from 1994) where the sale of damage to nature is compared to the Pope selling 'indulgences' for noblemen who had killed, to make it easier for them to enter heaven.
Wall Street won’t rewild the planet. Or decarbonize mining. Or defossilize agriculture. For @phenomenalworld I unpack why chasing investability harms climate goals in sectors beyond energy & transport - & what states can do with derisking failures https://t.co/wrZrxiwM0T

“In the realm of biodiversity, failure to achieve global targets has similarly been laid at the chasm between required financing and actual spending, with investment in nature purported to be five to seven times lower than required to reverse biodiversity loss.” @RosieCollingto
