What Role Can Climate Change Play in the Courtroom? – State of the Planet

Columbia’s Sabin Center for Climate Change Law focuses on four program areas: cross-cutting issues and initiatives, energy law, environmental and land use law, and international and foreign law. As the number of legal efforts involving each of these categories continues to grow, the center has positioned itself as a resource hub for tracking and analyzing […]

Workers and the just transition

Some takes the form of an anti-environmental backlash, instigated or colonised by conservative and far-right forces. While posing as allies of “working families”, they denigrate the most fundamental of workers’ needs: for a habitable planet.  Some takes a progressive form, the classic case being the gilets jaunes in France. When Emmanuel Macron’s government hiked “green […]

Brazil’s biofuels – boom or climate bust?

They said: “Historically, Brazilian energy policy has achieved significant success, largely due to the development of the oil industry alongside biofuels and other energy sources. This diversification has enabled Brazil to rely less on energy imports from the global market, fostering a degree of energy independence and security critical for economic stability.  “By reducing dependence […]

The Critical Need to Align Climate and Nutrition Global Agendas at COP29 – State of the Planet

In the face of the climate crisis, we often overlook one of its critical consequences: malnutrition. The connection between climate change and nutrition extends beyond health and food concerns; it is integral to overall sustainable development, and these connections must be more effectively integrated. A place to start that integration is the Conference of Parties […]

A coordinated kinase and phosphatase network regulates Stu2 recruitment to yeast kinetochores

Cells coordinate diverse events at anaphase onset, including separase activation, cohesin cleavage, chromosome separation, and spindle reorganization. Regulation of the XMAP215 family member and microtubule polymerase, Stu2, at the metaphase-anaphase transition determines a redistribution from kinetochores to spindle microtubules. We show that cells modulate Stu2 kinetochore-microtubule localization by Polo-like kinase1/Cdc5-mediated phosphorylation of T866, near the […]
