📢 New article in Energy Research & Social Science
We are delighted to share a new open-access article by our colleague @floretta_voice : “Energy addi(c)tion versus green transition: Why renewables supplement rather than replace fossil fuels.”
The article explores why, despite growing renewable investment, fossil fuel production continues to rise, and what this means for achieving a just and realistic energy transition.
Congratulations to Lorena on this important contribution!

Well done to our colleague @giusi_siciliano on her recent interview with Dialogue Earth about her @WorldDevJournal research on energy access in Cambodia.
The study highlights why expanding the electricity grid is only part of the challenge, affordable access is essential to ensure no one is left behind.

1/ 🧵 New publication series from the Policy Lab on the paramilitary–organised crime nexus.
Convened by Jonathan Goodhand and Patrick Meehan and supported by the @SOCACE_Research Programme, the series explores how responses to paramilitary actors and organised crime can be better understood and integrated.
Drawing on global analysis and case studies from #Colombia, #NorthernIreland and #Myanmar, it offers practical insights for policymakers and practitioners working on war-to-peace transitions. 👇
Foundations & analytical approaches:
Paper 42: Global trends and policy challenges shaping the paramilitary–organised crime nexus.

Paper 43: A practical framework for analysing and responding to the paramilitary–organised crime nexus.

Together, the series highlights why responses to paramilitary influence must go beyond demobilisation alone and address the wider political, economic and social systems that sustain these networks.
