Trump has made climate change a politically radioactive word. He’s unraveling environmental protections & canceling climate research.The word for this is “greenlash” a social & political backlash against efforts to rein in emissions.

Another way in which an Özdemir win would matter: in an age of greenlash, Germany's car-making homeland would have voted in a minister-president who champions electric cars while his CDU opponent worships the internal combustion engine.

The overwhelming majority of Europeans support climate action, but they must be compensated for its costs in tangible ways This year was not an easy time to be Green. Green parties took a beating in June’s European elections, with their seat count…

Could the European Greens and Greens around the world take a leaf out of @zackpolanski.bsky.social’s book to take on the establishment and win seats like the UK Greens have done at the local elections?

@pilitaclark.bsky.social word of the year: "greenlash" where everything green and sustainable is now "a costly elitist plot against working people." But it's time to fight back, to boycott Unilever, Nike and every other company folding in the face of right-wing challenges.
How the Greenlash is sinking sustainability
Anything green is apparently now "a costly elitist plot against working people."

"Ich bin nicht überrascht über das derzeitige Fehlen von Momentum, von Politikern wie Gesellschaft. Momentum kommt und geht. Was mich überrascht, ist die intellektuelle Faulheit, mit der die Ebbe an politischer Bemühung wegerklärt wird."

As I feared, EU clean tech will feel the pain from IRA rollback and the Trump greenlash.

Klimakrise, steigende Lebenshaltungskosten, geopolitische Unsicherheit + zugleich Greenlash und ein Erstarken des Rechtsextremismus. Wie lässt sich Vertrauen in Zeiten ökonomischer Umbrüche bewahren oder gar neu begründen?

Darum geht es in unserer 8. Debattenreihe #econ4future @makronom.bsky.social

I think there will be eventually a backlash to the greenlash. But the article‘s thesis is right and we cannot pretend that the anti-climate vibes that captured US political institutions are only in America. Carbon capture is a very universal thing.
Good article catching all the right - and chilling - observations around the “climate realism” we are embarking on.

#Bauernproteste & der #greenlash: "Der Bundesrat hat eine Gesetzesreform abgelehnt, die die umweltschädliche Überdüngung bekämpfen und helfen sollte, 'gute' Bauernhöfe von Gegenmaßnahmen auszunehmen."
Kampf gegen umweltschädliche Überdüngung: Bundesrat stoppt neues Düngegesetz
Die Ampel will verhindern, dass Bauern auch künftig zu viel düngen und so das Grundwasser verschmutzen. Doch ihr Gesetz dazu blockiert der Bundesrat.

“Whether the greenlash continues, or gives way to new momentum for climate action, will be determined not only by elections, economic developments or Donald Trump’s latest views,” argues Luisa Neubauer, but also by “the stories we tell ourselves”

Wenn Europas Grüne den „Greenlash“ überwinden wollen, müssen sie mutiger, klarer & sozialpolitisch schärfer auftreten – wie die britischen Greens unter @zackpolanski.bsky.social, sagt @tabouchadi.bsky.social.
