Power U 70: Power Mapping in Climate Policy Stalling
A case study in action inhibitors
The last few episodes, we've been doing a mini-series on power mapping. Last episode I talked about what happens when your analysis shows there's no dominant meta narrative to plug into.
This episode has one of the best examples of that I know...and it's one that may make you a little angry.
The short story: the fossil fuel industry has been losing on facts for decades. The science is unambiguous. Public concern is overwhelming. And yet meaningful government action on climate policy keeps stalling.
That's not an accident. It's a power mapping operation. And Episode 70 traces how they ran it.

#PowerU 70 - live from beautiful but windy London! The last few episodes, we’ve been doing a mini-series on power mapping. Last episode I talked about what happens when your analysis shows there’s no dominant meta narrative to plug into. This episode has one of the best examples of that I know...and it’s one that may make you a little angry. The short story: the fossil fuel industry has been losing on facts for decades. The science is unambiguous. Public concern is overwhelming. And yet meaningful government action on climate policy keeps stalling. That’s not an accident. It’s a power mapping operation. And Episode 70 traces how they ran it. #PowerU #PowerLiteracy #Leadership #SystemsChange #ClimateAction
