The article analyses Dark Mountain&#8217;s post-apocalyptic environmentalism to show that embracing uncertainty and multiple endings can foster experimental activist subjectivities, challenging claims from collapse-oriented activism.</p><p>The second research article is <a href="https://doi.org/10.1080/09644016.2026.2721054">Climate disinformation and moral distortion</a> by J.K.G. Hopster &amp; Carlo Martini. The article develops the concept of &#8220;moral distortion&#8221; through climate-discourse case studies, distinguishing it from factual disinformation, moral corruption, and greenwashing. It shows how true facts can mislead by obscuring moral implications, as illustrated by pro-CO2 rhetoric and BP&#8217;s individual-carbon-footprint framing.</p><p>The third research article is <a href="https://doi.org/10.1080/09644016.2026.2721030">When beliefs meet technology: conservatism, climate denialism, and support for solar geoengineering</a> by Dasom Lee and colleagues. The article examines whether climate denialism mediates the relationship between political conservatism and support for three solar geoengineering technologies across 13 countries. It separates ideology from denialism, finding that denialism largely explains conservative opposition, while residual effects vary by technology and country. </p><p>The first brief report is <a href="https://doi.org/10.1080/09644016.2026.2721050">The translation problem: nature&#8211;climate integration between goal setting and implementation</a> by Ana Dias. The report explains why nature&#8211;climate commitments tend to lose integration as they move from international goals into implementation. It presents the &#8220;translation problem&#8221; lens: sectoral metrics, institutions and laws drive de-integration, exposing a structural goal-setting&#8211;implementation paradox.</p><p>The final book report is <a href="https://doi.org/10.1080/09644016.2026.2724664">The climate refugee misnomer</a> by Eli Auslender, Charlotte Weatherill &amp; M. M. Golam Rabbani. The authors critique &#8220;climate refugee&#8221; through international law, racialised discourse, and Bangladesh&#8217;s climate-related mobility. They link these lenses to show the label obscures complex displacement realities, enables border securitisation, and deflects responsibility from major emitters.</p><p>More to come next week!</p><div class="captioned-button-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://environmentalpoliticsjournal.substack.com/p/week-in-review-for-environmental-f84?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;}" data-component-name="CaptionedButtonToDOM"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thank you for reading Environmental Politics&#8217; Substack.

The article uses item-response theory to assess 36 survey questions on environmental concern in a representative Swiss sample and develop a refined scale. Its nine-item ECo scale improves precision at high concern levels and predicts pro-environmental behaviour and policy support better than established measures.</p><p>The brief report is <a href="http://doi.org/10.1080/09644016.2026.2721047">A caution on climate hope</a> by Joe Blakey and Marc Hudson. Challenging the assumption that hope is essential for climate action, the authors warn that &#8220;false hope&#8221; and techno-solutionist optimism can sustain delay and depoliticise the systemic transformations required; instead, they call for a context-sensitive understanding of hope, pessimism, hopelessness, and other emotions in climate politics.</p><p>The introduction is <a href="http://doi.org/10.1080/09644016.2026.2703351">Unpacking the politics of ecocide</a> by Ignasi Bernat Molina, Robert Knox &amp; David Whyte. The introduction traces ecocide from its anti-imperialist origins to today&#8217;s push for international criminalisation. It asks how law can challenge environmental destruction without obscuring its political and structural causes.</p><p><span>Finally, the guest post is </span><em><a href="https://environmentalpoliticsjournal.net/guest-posts/a-history-of-republican-polarisation-on-climate-change/">A History of Republican Polarisation on Climate Change</a></em><span> by </span>Jesse Callahan Bryant<span>.

It includes ten research articles, one brief report, and three book reviews. Full details <a href="https://environmentalpoliticsjournal.net/editorial-announcements/latest-issue-vol-35-issue-6-out-now/">here</a>.</p><p>The first research article is <a href="https://doi.org/10.1080/09644016.2026.2720105">Relational state capacity in environmental governance: responsibility&#8211;capacity alignment in Nanjing&#8217;s waste sorting</a> by Yanhua Deng &amp; Chengguang Hu. The article examines how state capacity in environmental governance is relationally constituted through the alignment between the environmental responsibilities assigned to different actors and their capacities, using Nanjing&#8217;s mandatory household waste-sorting policy. It shows that the policy achieved early success when responsibility rested with local governments, but implementation weakened when responsibility shifted to citizens without sufficient habits.</p><p>The second research article is <a href="https://doi.org/10.1080/09644016.2026.2717841">A multiscalar framework for assessing climate politics from a justice perspective: the case of Denmark</a> by Salvatore Paolo De Rosa, Anna Kirstine Schirrer, Mads Ejsing &amp; Stefan Gaarsmand Jacobsen. The article examines how climate justice can be assessed across international diplomacy, national policymaking, and civil-society mobilisation, using Denmark as a case study. It shows that Denmark&#8217;s claim to climate leadership is constrained by eco-modernist and growth-oriented governance.</p><p>The third research article is <a href="https://doi.org/10.1080/09644016.2026.2714728">Are liberal democracies immune to the democratic resource curse?</a> by Ariel Paz-Sawicki &amp; Lior Herman. The article examines whether major natural gas discoveries can weaken democratic institutions in established liberal democracies, using Israel as an exploratory case study. It shows that the Israeli gas industry&#8217;s efforts to secure favourable regulation were associated with legal corruption, media capture, and weakened regulatory independence, suggesting that liberal democracies may also face a &#8220;democratic resource curse.&#8221;</p><p>More to come next week!</p><div class="captioned-button-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://environmentalpoliticsjournal.substack.com/p/week-in-review-for-environmental-7b5?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;}" data-component-name="CaptionedButtonToDOM"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thank you for reading Environmental Politics&#8217; Substack.

This article examines why and how CCS resurged in German climate policy via historical-materialist policy analysis.

This article traces just transition&#8217;s genealogy and maps its contemporary uses across Africa, Southeast Asia and Latin America.

The article introduces the Environmental Politics Expert Survey, mapping 165 parties in 24 European countries across multiple environmental dimensions. It shows environmentalism is multidimensional&#8212;material, ethical and nationalist&#8212;with positions patterned by ideology, party family and region.</p><p>The second research article is <a href="https://doi.org/10.1080/09644016.2026.2701573">Intraparty polarization on climate change in Republican Party discourse, 1987&#8211;2016</a> by Jesse Callahan Bryant. Using computational analysis and close reading of 800,000+ congressional speeches, the article traces climate discourse between centre-right and far-right Republicans from 1987&#8211;2016. It finds climate polarisation was often stronger within the GOP than between parties, ending in convergence around anti-bureaucratic rhetoric rather than shared denial.</p><p>The third research article is <a href="https://doi.org/10.1080/09644016.2026.2700733">The national knowledge politics of monitoring and evaluating adaptation to climate change: processes of repair, theatrical performance and legitimacy</a> by Biraj Adhikari &amp; Susannah Fisher. The article examines how Nepal&#8217;s adaptation M&amp;E systems mediate international reporting demands and domestic institutional constraints. It shows that &#8220;repairwork&#8221; sustains performative policy and legitimacy, often prioritising visible progress over learning.</p><p>The discussion article is <a href="https://doi.org/10.1080/09644016.2026.2694018">Legal and cultural impacts of ecocide law: a view from the legislative frontlines</a> by Jojo Mehta &amp; Anna Maddrick.

The article examines whether Brazilian export-oriented agribusiness firms&#8217; green rhetoric under global market pressure translates into different congressional voting behavior compared to legislators backed by domestic farmers. It shows that despite divergent public rhetoric, legislators vote near-unanimously against environmental protections regardless of donor type, revealing that transnational market pressures induce only rhetorical adaptation rather than reshaping domestic climate policy coalitions.</p><p>More to come next week!</p><div class="captioned-button-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://environmentalpoliticsjournal.substack.com/p/copy-week-in-review-for-environmental?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;}" data-component-name="CaptionedButtonToDOM"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thank you for reading Environmental Politics&#8217; Substack.

The article uses survey data from 101,956 respondents across 105 countries to show that citizens in more fossil fuel&#8211;reliant economies are less supportive of government climate prioritisation, more favourable to continued fossil fuel use, and less supportive of expanding renewables. It shows that lower climate worry and greater climate denial partially account for this association even after extensive country-level controls. </p><p>The book review is <a href="https://doi.org/10.1080/09644016.2026.2696665">Capitalism at the limit: a political ecology of a world in crisis</a>, by Ulrich Brand and Markus Wissen<em>. </em>Reviewed by Daniel Nyberg. The review portrays the book as a powerful synthesis showing how capitalism&#8217;s normal functioning drives overlapping ecological crises, making &#8220;monstrous normality&#8221; its everyday condition.

This article argues that a new form of climate denial &#8212; &#8220;libertarian populism&#8221; (LP) &#8212; is driving resistance to climate science independent of fossil-fuel industry influence. It finds that LP inverts climate politics&#8217; moral codes, &#8220;green is the new bad&#8221;, by recasting high-carbon consumption as a symbol of plebeian identity and transgression, a political style the paper terms the &#8220;Edgar Friendly&#8221; mode of climate denial.</p><p>The second research article is <a href="http://doi.org/10.1080/09644016.2026.2683947">Disagreement among friends: a collaboration-based framework for reducing polarization on climate change</a> by Mary C. McGrath. The article tests whether structured conversations between climate skeptics and advocates who are already friends can reduce polarization on climate change. It finds that a collaboration-based framework among existing social ties can durably reduce climate polarization, especially by moving skeptics, even in a small, self-selected sample.</p><p>The third research article is <a href="http://doi.org/10.1080/09644016.2026.2676374">Is far-right ecologism going mainstream?

The article analyses whether far-right ecologism in the EU is moving into the environmental positions of mainstream right-wing parties in the European Parliament, focusing on EPP, ECR and far-right groups&#8217; voting and speeches from 2009&#8211;2025. It finds far-right environmental ideas mainstream mainly via selective horizontal diffusion into ECR rather than broad convergence of the whole right, fragmenting the right more than uniting it.</p><p>The review article is <a href="http://doi.org/10.1080/09644016.2026.2689803">The role of norms in EU forest conservation politics &#8211; current trends and avenues for research</a> by Antonio Basilicata. This systematic review examines how norms are defined, diffused, and contested in EU forest conservation politics. It finds that EU forest conservation politics reveals a multi-level, reciprocal norm dynamic, not top-down compliance, where diverse actors including courts, NGOs, and local communities actively co-construct and contest conservation norms, a dimension largely overlooked by existing forest governance scholarship.</p><p>Finally, the book review is <a href="http://doi.org/10.1080/09644016.2026.2689800">Undermining resistance: The governance of participation by multinational mining corporations</a>, by Lian Sinclair<em>. </em>Reviewed by Jing Vivian Zhan. The review highlights the book&#8217;s ethnographic account of how mining corporations in Indonesia use participatory mechanisms such as CSR and undermine local resistance to extractive projects. It finds the book meaningful and timely for showing how participation operates as a contested tool of governance in extractive capitalism.</p><p>More to come next week!</p><div class="captioned-button-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://environmentalpoliticsjournal.substack.com/p/week-in-review-for-environmental-1ef?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;}" data-component-name="CaptionedButtonToDOM"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thank you for reading Environmental Politics&#8217; Substack.

It examines whether right-wing populism (RWP) undermines public support for environmental policies in Europe, using survey data across nine countries. It finds nativism to be the most consistent and strongest predictor of environmental policy opposition, while policy framing (e.g., earmarking tax revenues for the elderly or national industries) can significantly moderate that opposition.</p><p>The second research article is <a href="http://doi.org/10.1080/09644016.2026.2682028">Values-based environmental justice: conflicts and promises in mining territories</a> by B&#225;rbara Bastos. This article proposes values-based energy justice framework to address the limits of traditional EJ theories in extractive contexts. Using ethnography across post-mining Iglesias (Italy) and active-mining Vazante (Brazil), it finds extractive logics colonise everyday values, while infrapolitical counter-practices quietly sustain alternative worlds. EJ struggles remain ontological battles over which worlds of value are foreclosed or kept alive.</p><p>The thirds research article is <a href="http://doi.org/10.1080/09644016.2026.2687303">Domestic climate finance and the state: disentangling the transformative capacity of state-owned investment banks in the green transition</a> by Daniel Mertens &amp; Nils Stockmann. The article examines how German state-owned investment banks (SIBs) shape domestic climate finance and what makes them genuinely transformative for the green transition. Using data from 19 SIBs and 27 interviews, it finds uneven &#8220;green&#8221; capacity, with only a few banks allocating a substantial share to climate projects.</p><p>Finally, the book review is <a href="http://doi.org/10.1080/09644016.2026.2687244">Rejecting climate doomism</a> by Diana Stuart<em>. </em>Reviewed by Peter J. Jacques. The review highlights Stuart&#8217;s book for its clear, accessible argument that rejects resignation and &#8220;doomism&#8221; by emphasising that &#8220;every degree matters&#8221;. It finds the book timely and meaningful, paralyzing despair with evidence that significant harm reduction is still possible and links this to concrete strategies and social movements for transformative climate action.</p><p>More to come next week!</p><div class="captioned-button-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://environmentalpoliticsjournal.substack.com/p/week-in-review-for-environmental-ca1?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;}" data-component-name="CaptionedButtonToDOM"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thank you for reading Environmental Politics&#8217; Substack.

Congratulations! <br>In making this decision, it was agreed that:</p><blockquote><p><em>Opinion polarization has become a major empirical feature of energy and climate politics, yet it has not been systematically examined across countries. This paper makes an important contribution by showing how the U.S. compares with its cross-national peers and how patterns of polarization have changed over time. Drawing on four ISSP Environment modules from 1993 to 2020, the paper provides a valuable over-time assessment of public opinion and highlights the gradual erosion of consensus around climate politics. It is a timely, rigorous, and highly relevant study that [is expected to] quickly become an important reference in the field.</em></p></blockquote><p>Our new issue contains nine research articles, a review article, and three book reviews.

The article reveals how Australia&#8217;s climate inaction is actively maintained, not just passively stuck.

While public support for youth climate activism was widespread, criticism persisted, especially with the assumption that those involved did not represent youth more broadly.
