    New paper on just transition, policy knowledge + offshore wind in Nagasaki, Japan. I argue that whilst sharing best practice valuable, it risks undermining just transitions elsewhere if we don't ask who benefits from this knowledge being shared + adopted: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…
    Abstract begins: Recent years have seen a proliferation of knowledge-sharing networks to support place-based just transitions among carbon-intensive regions. Yet, policy mobilities scholarship argues that policy knowledge from some places may be selectively promoted to propagate specific ideas about how regional planning ‘ought’ to happen. Exemplars of good practice circulated within such networks could therefore work against place-based just transitions, if they promote policies that perpetuate existing imbalances between industries and communities. In response, this study uses policy mobilities as an analytical framework to evaluate how the mobility of policy knowledge may enable or hinder a place-based just transition. This question is explored for offshore renewables in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. Nagasaki has up to 3400 power sector workers, including two municipalities where power sector workers are proportionally three to four times the Japanese average.

    I see the world’s press are discovering the delights of Tokyo’s convenience stores during #Tokyo2020 Unfortunately, unless you were in Sapporo you missed the best one of all. 東京のコンビニは、世界のメディアの中で流行っているそうです。残念ながら北海道に行った記者は少ないです…

    Football managers as reviewers: a thread. Jurgen Klopp: really likes what you're trying to do with this paper. It's not quite there yet, but gives you some detailed suggestions to refocus and improve it and a few helpful references. Only problem is review is 4 pages long.

    Why, it’s the most outrageous hot food corner you will find outside of a rural north Scotland petrol station. Shelf upon shelf of heated goodness, each one capable of exceeding your daily calorie allowance in a single meal.

    9年前の今日の状況を考えると、もし私が2011年3月16日に「将来には、富岡町の米がまた食べられて、浪江町の会社がまた活動できる」と言われたら、信じられないと思われるはずです。しかし、今日の晩ご飯に、浪江町の店で買った地元の名物茶碗で、富岡米を食べました。双葉郡、頑張ってください！

    THREAD TIME: this is the inside of a SeicoMart. Magazines, booze, toys, juice. So far, so normal you may think. But what’s that on the far wall?

    Should also have added that SeicoMart is a convenience store that is unique to Hokkaido, hence why you won't see them in the coverage around #Tokyo2020 (unless anyone went during the Sapporo marathon). Although weirdly they do have at least one branch in Ibaraki.

    I do understand the sentiment here. But for the hundredth time: we don’t just need to listen to climate *scientists*. We also need to listen to scholars of social sciences, arts + humanities. We are where we are due to a lack of political and social will, not a lack of evidence.

    Yes, climate change is to blame for extreme heat waves. And no, this climate scientist won’t apologize for holding those responsible to account. rol.st/3ocwxEH

    Right Moriyasu. You have 20 minutes to get Hatate on, otherwise Scotland are issuing him with a passport and claiming him as our own.

    Thank you for calling it out. I'm a huge Raith fan, but I cannot in any way condone this move or look the other way. I let the club know my feelings before and will do so again - and won't be back at Stark's Park while he is there.
