«Når strømmen går, stopper samfunnet opp. Klimaendringer gjør risikoen for slike sammenbrudd større,» sier FNIs @sidsareen til @energiogklima.

How does one become a successful researcher? Here are ten steps sourced from 60 of us across ten national young academies: videnskab.dk/kultur-samfund/… - fun to see it out based on my last visit to Copenhagen as I'm on my way there again today! Also found here: bsky.app/profile/sidsareen.b…
We're hurtling towards another festive season (the state of the world notwithstanding) and true to tradition, it is workers ensuring the lights are up when it comes time to make merry in the dark winter evenings. Despite political elitism, labour carries on its long, weary march.
This gem by the late great anthropologist has been on my mind since yesterday. A politics of courage is what we need, more so than ever, especially when it seems a bridge too far. But the price to be paid for current folly (climatic, socioeconomic) will bend many blameless backs.
Terrible to see yet another German academic institution betray its purpose of intellectual integrity to pander to the state military industrial complex and turn a blind eye to the complicity this implies in genocide. What a shame to be such a professor of political science there.
My public lecture at the Institute of Political Science @TUDarmstadt has been CANCELED due to my statements against apartheid in Israel and genocide in Gaza. Here I share the email I received and my response to faculty.
There is no academic freedom in Germany.

A very good ending to a packed week with an engaged workshop for our @JPIUrbanEurope ENERGY4ALL project, convening a wide group of local stakeholders to identify near-future pathways for action to achieve Positive Energy District Hillevåg. Nice to catch Innoasis' second birthday!
Also poignant to greet @UniStavanger Greenhouse members @Solvberget to glimpse an exhibition about the anthropocene by @ChristianHouge on my way back home to Oslo (where he's also based), featuring these striking images of a melting glacier in Switzerland draped to little effect.

@sidsareen forteller om hvordan energisystemer kan snus opp-ned i løpet av noen år, med visse grep som knytter seg til etablert infrastruktur, energifellesskap, og litt nye businessmodeller. @FME_Include @FniNansen

Coming up: the official launch of our policy video from the @InnovasjonNorge ENERTOWN project, thanks to project assistants from South Africa, Albania and France, and collaboration with partners in Romania - international partnership at its best, with local grounding in Rogaland!
A solid set of perspectives on energy user attitudes and influence brought together in this discussion. Nicely structured programme covering a broad range of just transition issues in Norway over two packed days: sum.uio.no/include/aktuelt/a… - a focus on industrial change is next up.
The national conversation on energy poverty (energifattigdom) in Norway has grown steadily alongside growing recognition of the real nature of the problem in society here like anywhere else. Inequality and energy efficiency are brought together powerfully by @Forbrukerradet here.

Good to see a lot of engaged youth on the streets fundraising for 'Operasjon Dagsverk' today, in solidaric support to education and development projects for young people worldwide. A fine tradition of OD-dagen in Norway: od.no/vart-arbeid/operasjon-…
This year, the championed cause is climate adaptation in Guatemala that promotes food security, to support indigenous youth there in their struggle against hunger. See kommunikasjon.ntb.no/pressem…
It's all happening here at the @FME_Include annual conference @FniNansen! Check out the post below this one to see @guribugge of @stfoldKlima County using a fantastic narrative tool for effective storytelling on the societal challenge of energy transition: sum.uio.no/include/aktuelt/a…
