I think the most important issue at stake at #COP30 in #Bélem on mitigation is whether the #UNFCCC continues addressing the transitions needed to achieve the mitigation objectives of the #ParisAgreement - or gets forced back into discussing the global emissions gap only in abstract terms

Recently German political discourse is replete with attacks on the EU ETS. In an op-ed I argue that these attacks could easily become a self-fulfilling prophecy. It may help us short term we are shooting ourselves in the foot in the race for the future: wupperinst.org/en/a/wi/a/s/...

Guten Morgen deutsche Medien: Diese Studie zeigt: a) dass die AfD unverhältnismäßige mediale Aufmerksamkeit erhält (=mehr als ihre elektorale Größe suggerieren könnte). b) dass diese Aufmerksamkeit mit der strategischen Störung des politischen Prozesses durch die AfD an sich zusammenhängt.

We have a new comment out in @natureportfolio.nature.com Nature Energy in which we synthesise key findings of our 4-year CINTRAN project on structural change in coal and carbon-intensive regions across Europe. A free read-only version is available here: rdcu.be/epxGW #JustTransition #energysky

A lot of people are trying to make sense of Trump's tariffs. The only pattern I see is chaos. And it is not a bug but a feature: Chaos is a policy objective. Trump thrives on chaos.

We have been selling computer hardware and software separately forever. Can't EU Automakers do the same? Just reduce prices (and tariffs) of car hardware and charge costumers extra for the software to rub the car. Separate product, separate tariffs...

We @wuppertalinstitut.bsky.social have analyzed the #CleanIndustrialDeal. Overall it provides urgently needed industrial policy orientation in a geopolitical storm. But it has its limitations. Read the full report here: wupperinst.org/fileadmin/re... 🔌💡

Wie haben den Clean Industrial Deal analysiert. Insgesamt bietet er dringend notwendige industriepolitische Orientierung im geopolitischen Sturm. Aber er ist auch nicht ohne Schwächen. Details gibt es hier: wupperinst.org/a/wi/a/s/ad/...

Kann bitte irgendein Journalist*in Friedrich Merz fragen was er dazu sagt, dass er angetreten ist, um die AfD zu halbieren und jetzt hat er sie verdoppelt...

A reminder that the only way for Europe to reduce exposure to volatile fossil gas prices is to significantly reduce gas consumption.

Die #EU-Kommission wird voraussichtlich am 26.02. ihren #CleanIndustrialDeal vorstellen. lukashermwille.bsky.social, Co-Leiter des Forschungsbereichs Transformative Industriepolitik am Wuppertal Institut, hat darüber mit dem @tagesspiegel.de gesprochen.

Trump wants to make the US to dominate global 🔌💡energy markets, coerce the EU in buying ever more US LNG. Why should he be interested in brokering peace in Ukraine? It would only bring back Russian gas which would end his energy dreams. If anything it should be his interest to prolong the war, no?

Still have to learn to use Bluesky properly... I forgot the 🔌💡 to make sure this is seen in the EnergySky

Another brilliant result from our CINTRAN project. Congrats @mcbrisbois.bsky.social and @robertocantoni.bsky.social

The ENTICE Project has officially launched! 🚀🌍 Our partners gathered for the first time to lay the groundwork for an enhanced understanding of #trade impacts on #climate, #industries, and the #environment 🍃🏭 #ENTICEproject #TradeAndClimate #HorizonEurope

Today we are kicking off a new project researching the Trade-Climate-Industrial Policy Nexus: ENTICE - ENhancing understanding Trade Impacts on Climate, industries and the Environment. Coincidentally, we are meeting a day after Trump's inauguration who made our work all the more important!

I guess this is article represents the Boss level of participant observation... Super curious to read the reflections of the co-facilitators of the Global Stocktake.

Great start of the new year! Our @nature.com Climate Change article got public shed today. We traced the transformation across a decade of IPCC scenarios. My favourite insight: we see positive developments not only in ambitious mitigation scenarios but also in the BAU references... rdcu.be/d5ptz

#Sozialwissenschaften bereichern die Energie- & #Industrietransformation, spielt bisher aber eine Nebenrolle. Es ist Zeit, politische & soziale Dimensionen der Energiewende ins Zentrum zu rücken, schreiben @lukashermwille.bsky.social (@wuppertalinstitut.bsky.social) & Rainer Quitzow 👉 is.gd/R0oMaz

This is crucial! We hear so often that "we just need the political will" to implement the transformation. Social sciences are key to understand the limits of political will and how to move them! Thanks to @ecpr.bsky.social and STRN for this important initiative.

Waterloo war auch eine offene Feldschlacht, oder?

Neue 🎙️-Folge: Wie kann die #EU #Wohlstand sichern, #Klimaschutz stärken & im globalen #Handel bestehen? Über #Industriepolitik diskutieren @michabloss.bsky.social (MdEP) & @lukashermwille.bsky.social als Schlüsselthema der Zukunft. ➡️ Mehr Infos: wupperinst.org/a/wi/a/s/ad/... #Podcast #Industrie

Für den @wuppertalinstitut.bsky.social Podcast #Zukunftswissen.fm habe ich mich mit @michabloss.bsky.social über EU-Industriepolitik unterhalten. Wir waren uns meist einig. Bei Sinn und Notwendigkeit von Zöllen zum Schutz der Autoindustrie gab es auch Reibungspunkte. www.youtube.com/watch?v=csVu...

Why did markets react so + on Trump's election in the US and - in the EU? To me it seems the US is headed for economic disaster if he implements his promised industrial policies. This analysis by @bentleyallan.bsky.social and Tim Sahay confirms my hunch. www.netzeropolicylab.com/trump-retreat

Die EU braucht einen Green Industrial Deal. Aber im Wahljahr fehlt pol. Führung. DE, FR & PL könnten Akzente setzen. Das sich das auch innenpolitisch lohnt habe ich mit J. Dellatte und @asnieg.bsky.social für @tspbackground.bsky.social aufgeschrieben: background.tagesspiegel.de/energie-klim...

How to make sure that the #GlobalStocktake outcome is actually picked up in national #climate policy? Our new paper suggests coordinated efforts and tailored communication strategies, with @lukashermwille.bsky.social and @callonsen.bsky.social www.umweltbundesamt.de/publikatione...

#NetZeroIndustryAct: "Die EU bekennt sich zu aktiver #Industriepolitik" meinen @lukashermwille.bsky.social und Dr. Anna Leipprand in ihrem #Statement. Der #NZIA sei ein wichtiger Schritt für Klimaschutz und Wettbewerbsfähigkeit in der #EU. #Klimapolitik #Industrie ➡️🌐 wupperinst.org/a/wi/a/s/ad/...

Jobalert: we are hiring a researcher for our new research unit "Transformative Industrial Policy" at the @wupperinst.bsky.social wupperinst.org/a/wi/a/s/ad/...

So right for X-mas here's our assessment of #COP28UAE. It discusses outcomes on #mitigation, #adaptation, #lossanddamage, #finance and #Article6 By @obergassel.bsky.social @lukashermwille.bsky.social et al wupperinst.org/en/a/wi/a/s/... #COP28

Join us tomorrow at our COP28 Side Event on Just Industry Transition Partnerships. Live in Side Event Room 3 or online at www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlMH...

Bin mot of the day at #COP28: Vheba Dhawan, Director General of TERI India: "Let's not reinvent the broken wheel." She said it in a workshop on accelerating multi stakeholder cooperation for climate action in the Global South. Absloutely spot on.

On my way to COP28 with mixed feelings. This event has grown out of proportion. I am afraid of the sheer masses of nearly 100k participants. Who would have thought UNFCCC conferences are the first place where we physically experience the limits to growth.

Within one week Germany lost the financial foundation of the coalition contract upholding government and the Netherlands elect an anti-EU right-wing populist. Who would have thought two months ago that Poland will be Europe's last hope and stability anchor...

How could a sectoral climate club for the plastic industry look like? How could it support the transformation of the sector? And how would it be positioned within a changing governance landscape? NDCAspects policy paper provides answers. ndc-aspects.eu/sites/defaul... 1/9

Today there are elections in Poland. it's gonna be super important for the entire EU. @polish colleagues: When can we expect to see the first results/projections? And is there an outlet that offers good commentary in English or German?

From the noisy storm, Home emerges, calm and warm, Friends, like blue sky's charm.
