„Der Klimawandel beeinflusst Nahrungsmittelpreise, Produktivität, Gesundheit, Landwirtschaft, Strombedarf – eigentlich fast jeden gesellschaftlich relevanten Bereich.“ PIK-Forscherin @leoniewenz.bsky.social in einem lesenswerten @zeit.de-Artikel zu #Klima & #Wirtschaft www.zeit.de/wirtschaft/2...

In der #Ringvorlesung zum #Klimaschutz an der @tuberlin.bsky.social geht es heute ab 16:15 darum, wie multiskalige Erdbeobachtung dazu beiträgt, die Verletzlichkeit von Ökosystemen zu verstehen und Strategien für Klimaschutz zu entwickeln. Es referiert Prof. Christine Wallis. Mehr Infos & Anmeldung:

This week we retracted our 2024 Nature paper in response to two matters arising. We are grateful for the community‘s engagement and have worked on addressing the issues raised - but the changes exceed a mere correction of the published article. More info below. What is really important to me …

Heute Abend diskutieren wir im #Futurium Berlin über die Zukunft der Wissenschafskommunikation - mit Utopiemobil!

If you’re in Leeds on the 15th of October, come to my inaugural lecture on “Facing Accelerating Climate Change Threat - Exploring Future Trajectories, Surveying the Past and the Present” www.tickettailor.com/events/fssev...

#Klimawandel kennt keine Ländergrenzen – seine Folgen aber treffen uns weltweit und oft ungerecht verteilt. 🌍🔥 Klimaökonomin @leoniewenz.bsky.social vom @pik-potsdam.bsky.social zeigt im aktuellen #JAM31, warum wir globale Antworten brauchen: Hier lesen: 👉 www.diejungeakademie.de/de/publikati...

Sadly, I can’t be at #EAERE2025 myself but lots of our work will be presented 👇🏼

Wie häufig und wie prominent werden welche Klimawandel-Themen in der Tagesschau behandelt? Das hat Tanja Schirmag in ihrer Bachelorarbeit am PIK @pik-potsdam.bsky.social und der Uni Potsdam @unipotsdam.bsky.social untersucht. Die Ergebnisse wurden heute in Comms Earth & Environment veröffentlicht 🎉

How often and how prominently are which climate change-related topics covered in Germany’s major TV news program Tagesschau? In her Bachelor’s thesis, Tanja Schirmag developed an NLP-based algorithm and applied neural topic modeling to find out. The results have just been published 🎉

Important indeed! Timothé Beaufils, @leoniewenz.bsky.social and I investigate exactly this strategic dimension of the CBAM in our joint work: www.cesifo.org/en/publicati...

NEW: Fossil fuel firms like Chevron and Exxon owe the world trillions of dollars. Today in @nature.com, @jsmankin.bsky.social and I show economic losses from rising heat waves directly traceable to these firms, providing scientific support for climate accountability. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Extremely happy and excited to have been appointed professor of environmental economics, with a focus on climate damages and adaptation, at Technical University Berlin. www.pik-potsdam.de/en/news/late...

Excellent piece on climate adaptation by Chris Callahan!

Join my new Public Economics team at @unileipzig.bsky.social! A 100% PhD/Postdoc position with teaching and a 75% PhD position in a DFG research project on the triangle of growth, housing and voting in Germany with @sebastiankohl.bsky.social & @trgn.bsky.social. Apply until Feb 28

Looking forward to my talk and visit at INET Oxford today+tomorrow!

Thank you for hosting me (and the prize!) - I had a great time with inspiring and insightful discussions!

Lesenswerter FAZ-Beitrag zu den Kosten, wenn Klimaschutz vernachlässigt wird: Menschenleben, Sachschäden, Konflikte und Unruhen, Flüchtlingsströme… Die Frage ist deshalb nicht, OB sondern WIE der Klimaschutz vorangetrieben werden sollte.

Our recent Nature publication on the economic cost of climate change came in second!

Only one week left to apply for 1 of 2 PhD positions investigating the behavioral barriers of the green transition with me at University of Copenhagen. jobportal.ku.dk/phd/?show=16...

Planning your climate or environment syllabus? I like to show short videos so students & I can visualize some of the things we're talking about. Here are some of the ones I like:

Welche Forschung wollen politische Entscheidungsträger? www.diejungeakademie.de/de/publikati... Unser Debattenbeitrag für @jungeakademie.bsky.social @leoniewenz.bsky.social

Climate change to exacerbate the burden of water collection on women’s welfare globally - our new paper sheds light on a gendered dimension of climate impacts, with huge opportunity cost. w/ Rob Carr, Max Kotz et al.

NOT addressing climate change is expensive. New paper by @leoniewenz.bsky.social & colleagues.

Reducing greenhouse gases to avoid 2°C is six (!) times cheaper than paying for the damage that would otherwise occur, according to @pik-potsdam.bsky.social Fixing climate change is just as much an economic and geopolitical argument as an environmental one. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🆕Not in my backyard? #windturbines have little effect on US property values, shows new study with PIK scientist Leonie Wenz. The effect is smaller the further away the recently installed turbines are, and fades over time. www.pik-potsdam.de/en/news/late...

📢Wherefore NIMBYism? New research on wind turbines reveals interesting findings about their impact on U.S. house prices. With @pik-potsdam.bsky.social

I am hiring a PhD student! The position is part of my DFG project on "International Environmental Agreements: Determinants, Interlinkages, and Impacts".75% position, no teaching. Initial contract of two years. Please share, apply, and contact me in case of questions! joschkawanner.de/gallery/JobP...

Very happy and honored to be among Germany‘s Top 40 under 40 this year!

Extreme #heat amplifies social inequalities: PIK researchers @leoniewenz.bsky.social and Annika Stechemesser analysed data from 438 NYC #subway stations and found that in low-income areas there are few possibilities for 🚇 users to adapt to heat by reducing mobility www.pik-potsdam.de/en/news/late...

It’s not just the impacts of climate change that are highly unequally distributed. It’s also the possibilities to adapt. Even within the same city, less privileged people have fewer means to protect themselves. Our new study based on subway data from NYC ⬇️ w/ Annika Stechemesser
