Reasons for climate optimism – part 1 Around the world, people are increasingly grasping the importance of climate change and the necessity to address it.

Yesterday there have been protests for accelerated climate policies around the world. Starting tomorrow, I will post one reason for climate optimism every week to encourage people to keep up the momentum.

It was a great pleasure to talk to @tomraftery.com about my climate optimism book on his podcast Climate Confident. www.climateconfidentpodcast.com/1329991/epis...

The ESSD update on key climate indicators that came out recently paints a rather sobering picture for climate policy. Nevertheless, some developments offer reasons to be optimistic that we can still achieve a transition to climate neutrality.

Rückblick auf 3 Jahre Klimaaußenpolitik von @beimwort.bsky.social und @susannegoetze.bsky.social im Spiegel. Eine gute Gelegenheit, um noch einmal auf unsere ausführliche Analyse unter Federführung von @mjfeist.bsky.social und @oleadolphsen.bsky.social zu verweisen: www.spiegel.de/politik/deut...

#Chile hat seine erneuerbaren Energien so weit ausgebaut wie nur wenige andere Länder. Zwei Gründe für den Erfolg: Es gibt viel Wind und Sonne. Und: Die Regierungen aller Couleur - in Deutschland kaum vorstellbar - treiben die #Energiewende voran. Mehr in meiemn Text bei @table.media (Paywall):

Vielleicht fällt es heute ja der einen oder dem anderen ein bisschen leichter, die Plattform des #Trump-Fanboys Elon #Musk zu verlassen. Die beste Gelegenheit dafür wäre vor langer Zeit gewesen. Die zweitbeste ist genau jetzt.

Das neue Warnsignal Klima ist soeben erschienen, ich habe auch einen kurzen Beitrag beigesteuert, zu der Frage, was bisher klimapolitisch erreicht wurde.

In a new study we explore what the EU CBAM could mean for trade partners in the Mediterranean region:

Change is coming. 20 years ago almost all of Poland's electricity was from coal. Wind and solar were 0%. In 2023 coal was at 61%. Wind and solar generated more than 1/5 of electricity. Data from Ember.

There is quite some discussion on whether carbon pricing or green industrial policies do a better job in instigating a transformation of the energy system. In a new paper, @indraoverland.bsky.social and I argue that carbon pricing and industrial policies are complements rather than substitutes:

I suggest we collectively pledge to leave Twitter/X (on the X site, of course) by the end of the year. This will send a strong signal and incentivize others to join us.

Bin sehr optimistisch, dass diesmal der Umzug von Twitter/X gelingen kann - die kritische Masse hier schon schon erreiht zu sein! Allgemein gibt es immer Grund, die Hoffnung nicht aufzugeben, auch wenn vieles nicht optimal läuft: www.tagesschau.de/wissen/klima...
