The free November 2024 @MCC_Berlin #Newsletter is out! Concise reporting on our work & first-hand info on policy options against the #ClimateCrisis. 🇬🇧https://lnkd.in/eagJhJJa 🇩🇪https://lnkd.in/epJ6iSaZ

Mehr #Schulden für #Klimaschutz sind vertretbar, wenn im Gegenzug der CO2-Preis erhöht wird, sagt Ottmar #Edenhofer, Direktor @MCC_Berlin & @PIK_Klima, im großen Interview in der Frankfurter Allgemeinen Sonntagszeitung @FAZ_Wirtschaft. „Denn ein höherer CO2-Preis ist ein verlässlicher Indikator dafür, dass tatsächlich Klimaschutz-Investitionen vorgenommen werden, genau das bewirken solche Preise ja. Sie sorgen dafür, dass die künftigen Generationen für die Schulden, di sie erben, einen Klimaschutz-Gegenwert erhalten. Sie sind nicht schlechtergestellt.“ https://lnkd.in/dfDhUGVp (€)

A new @MCC_Berlin model study using Ugandan statistics shows how #ClimatePolicy in a low-income country in sub-Saharan Africa affects private households. #CarbonPricing an option only with revenue redistribution. @raavi_aggarwal @jan_c_steckel https://lnkd.in/eDUrRUi8

Getting 8 to 15-year-olds interested in scientific topics: mission of @FrontYoungMinds now supported by a research team including @JanMinxMCC & @lamb_wf (@MCC_Berlin). They explain the routes to a carbon-free world. Recommended also for adults!🙂#Climate https://lnkd.in/et5A465V

Nations must close huge emissions gap in new #Climate pledges & deliver immediate action, or 1.5°C lost within a few years: @UNEP today launched the 2024 #EmissionsGap Report, with @lamb_wf (@MCC_Berlin) leading the chapter on global emission trends. 👇 https://lnkd.in/ewCTtwVw

You have a strong background in economics, mathematics or computer science with excellent grades and completed Bachelor’s degree? Then you might want to apply for this student assistant position at the Berlin-based #Climate research institute @MCC_Berlin https://lnkd.in/ekPRitZD

No guarantees when it comes to overshooting 1.5°C! @Nature Study of 30 scientists including Sabine Fuss + Ruben Prütz @MCC_Berlin, led by @CarlSchleussner @IIASAVienna @CA_Latest, looks at overshoot scenarios. More #ClimateAction needed. @PROVIDE4CLIMATE https://lnkd.in/eADFhzQy

Dank #49EuroTicket gut 30 % mehr längere Bahnfahrten (ab 30 Kilometer) als ohne. Und 7,6 % weniger Auto-Kilometer. Die Preiserhöhung auf 58 Euro macht das zur Hälfte zunichte – schlecht fürs Klima. Spannende Analyse @MCC_Berlin für @AriadneProjekt. ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/etXUpADY

PAPER OUT! With careful policy design, we can address both #ClimateChange and economic inequality. Important study using 8 large-scale models. Co-authored by Simon Feindt & Ulrike Kornek @MCC_Berlin, led by @CmccClimate, published today @NatureClimate . https://lnkd.in/eggr5asf
