Subject: #flyingless campaign July 2016 update

The #flyingless campaign has been enjoying a flurry of activity since the last 
update.

1. See Joe Nevins' new 
interview,
 posted today on the flyingless.org website, with legal 
innovator Professor Mary Christina Wood. She contributed to the idea that 
nature is a "public trust," with dramatic potential implications for addressing 
climate change. She also is a #flyingless supporter: "Universities will have to 
re-think their flying practices in a very serious way."

2. Several people on this email list were involved with the remarkable nearly 
carbon-free conference on Climate Change and the Humanities. Ken Hiltner was 
the lead organizer and inspiration. Presenters included Peter Singer, Joe 
Nevins, Peter Kalmus, and myself. On the final day, in addition to the main 
event in California, we had a fine group of about 12 participants on the Tufts 
University campus linked by videoconference. Ken Hiltner has created a White 
Paper / Practical Guide with 
lessons about how to organize such a conference, and there already is a future 
conference planned "THE WORLD IN 2050: CREATING/IMAGINING JUST CLIMATE 
FUTURES."

3. Please continue to share the flyingless.org website. 
Important links are available from the "Menu" button at top right of the page. 
There now are 375 academic signatories for the petition! Twitter: @flyingless .

 Hi Gepers,Quite awhile ago, I asked for articles or book chapters to explain the evolution of international climate policy.  I received great responses.  Here they are.  Thanks.  Radoslav

[gep-ed] Coal Country Is Wary of Hillary Clinton’s Pledge to Help

[Aseem Prakash]

Folks,

You probably noticed this piece in the New York Times today:
Coal Country Is Wary of Hillary Clinton’s Pledge to Help

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/29/us/politics/coal-country-is-wary-of-hillary-clintons-pledge-to-help.html?hpw&rref=us&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&module=well-region®ion=bottom-well&WT.nav=bottom-well


We outlined a theoretical construct, Embedded Environmentalism, for this sort 
of a compensation policy first in a short paper, "We feel your pain: 
Environmentalists, Coal miners, and “embedded environmentalism” (
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/286779959_We_feel_your_pain_Environmentalists_Coal_miners_and_embedded_environmentalism)

and then in a Monkey Cage Blog: 
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2016/01/18/coal-is-losing-political-power-so-why-is-hillary-clinton-proposing-30-billion-to-help-coal-communities/

We are in the process of systematically testing the "embedded environmentalism" 
argument and would like to learn more about the literature on the "compensation 
hypothesis" in the realm of environmental politics (we are aware of the "just 
transitions" literature). Please email me directly on this subject.

Thanks,

Aseem
