In Germany, climate protesters are demanding diesel bans in cities. Norwegian activists are calling for the abolition of urban road tolls. But in cities across the world, writes Mahir Yazar, populists are rising up to challenge these progressive climate movements

Mahir's research focuses on governance questions surrounding energy transition and climate change, including the rise of populism, global climate policy diffusion, and environmental justice.
