Is Global #Climate #Finance on the Decline? According to the latest figures from the #OECD, international climate finance has increased! However, the global trend tells a different story: budgets for development and climate policy are declining worldwide, including in #Germany!

Das ist sehr gut! Und, ehrlich, gerechtfertigt, wenn ich den Aufwand für die Betreuung sehe. Aber danke - allen Studies, die sich für dafür eingesetzt haben!

Last week, my days have been all about helping the #EuropeanCommission tracking down interdisciplinary, relevant, top‑tier #climatescience across Europe. It was fun! But afterward my thoughts devolved into a shortcoming‑themed playlist: minor shortcoming, shortcomings, a shortcoming altogether!

Ein verbreiteter Fehler war, dieses Worst-Case-Szenario als „Business-as-usual“-Erzählung zu benutzen!

Developed countries mobilised an estimated USD 132.8 billion in climate finance in 2023 (!), according to the OECD’s report #ClimateFinance Provided and Mobilised by Developed Countries in 2013–2024. Need newer! www.oecd.org/en/publicati...

Macht unerwartet Spaß!

Zur aktuellen Debatte um #RCP8.5: Der Deutsche Wetterdienst nutzt RCP8.5 als eines der offiziellen Klimaszenarien für #Deutschland. Die DWD‑Referenz‑Ensembles v2018 enthalten RCP2.6, RCP4.5 und RCP8.5. Manche #CostofInaction Studien haben dieses Szenario zur Bestimmung möglicher Folgen benutzt.

„Mit dem Referentenentwurf zum #Gebäudemodernisierungsgesetz ist die politische Grundsatzentscheidung getroffen, dass die #Beimischungsquote kommt“, schreibt Epico. Zentral sei nun die Einbettung in einen „konsistenten #Transformationspfad“.

Shocking news: With Brazil’s election looming, the Tropical Forest Forever Facility faces a race to secure $10 billion, formalize governance, and prove it can survive a political shift.

#Historic step achieved in global climate finance: #GCF portfolio hits USD 20 billion for climate action, Board selects host countries for new regional offices greenclimate.fund/node/22420 via @theGCF #COP31

Wird Kanzler Merz auf dem Petersberger #Klimadialog eine neue Finanzzusage machen, fragte @table_media. Antwort, ein klares #Nein! Zurecht, denn mit dem massiven Einbruch der UN-#Finanzmittel auf breiter Front (!) müssen neue Schwerpunkte gesetzt werden.

My view on #Santa-Marta: The panel is clearly a response to a stalled UNFCCC momentum on #TAFF, but relying on frustration as its core rationale is not a sustainable leitmotif. Background today by @tablemedia table.media/en/climate/f...

#FloodRe, #ElementarRe, now US-Re (#Brookings proposed). The new cream-skimming twist is pooling high‑risk properties into a specialized, state‑owned #reinsurance vehicle.

At the kick off of the #PetersbergerDialog, preparing for #COP31, 🇩🇪 takes position: A rigid focus on the #TAFF topic (turning away from fossil fuels) is seen as counterproductive by chief negotiator #Flasbarth. „For an effective #transformation, one must address the demand side."

Das „neue“ pazifische Bündnis scheint mir nicht das „Wunderrezept“ für die Verhandlungen in der #Türkei #COP31!

As #Cyprus is increasingly becoming a focal point of the #Iran conflict, the 5th Forum of the EU Mission on Adaptation (27–28 May 2026) must be relocated and postponed. What a pity – the paper was already finished and the issues (relating to #climateadaptation) are a burning concern in the EU.

One-third of all #waste is mismanaged! It could grow 50% by 2050! An insightful world bank report and a fitting focus for #COP31!

Today marked a sunlit beginning to my teaching journey at the EUV @viadrina.eu — a new chapter with some new responsibilities for those of us seasoned by time!

Heute: Mein sonniger Lehreauftakt an der Europa-Universität Viadrina.- mit neuen Aufgaben für Altgewordene🍀🍀

Morgen: Zwei geballte Tage zum Thema der Ausgestaltung Der #Elementarschadenversicherungspflicht „nach deutschen Modell“ beim #BDV in Hamburg. Ich berichte laufend auf #LinkedIn.

Upcoming: Two intensive days on shaping the compulsory natural hazard #insurance ‘according to a German model’ at the #BDV in Hamburg. I’ll be reporting on #LinkedIn!

#CarbonNeutrality was once the "political correctness" of all parties. However, since around 2025, this wave has receded: the EU #ClimateLaw (www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/docume...) is introducing far-reaching conditionalities for the next reform cycle. Practical constraints are emerging!

International targets for #climate #adaptation (GGA) are faltering, according to reports following an #OECD meeting in Paris. But there is still time: “The next major decisions on adaptation won’t be made until #COP32 (2028) in Addis Ababa“, reports state.

On China’s role #China’s economy is transitioning toward a climate neutral future more rapidly than that of any other major power, its leading role in providing climate solutions has however not yet translated into a corresponding role in multilateral #climate #diplomacy.
