"Wir müssen bei der #Energiewende realistisch vorangehen, um alle Menschen mitzunehmen. Wir werden nicht erfolgreich sein, wenn wir in Silos denken. Systemisch denken ist wichtig, genau das machen die Kopernikus-Projeke." Stefan Müller, Leiter Abteilung „Zukunftsvorsorge“ beim Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung während des heutigen Kopernikus-Symposiums.
🆕 study: Tipping risks from overshooting 1.5 °C can be minimised, if global warming is swiftly reversed, a new study shows. Reducing emissions in the current decade is crucial for the stability of the Earth systems functions, researchers find. "Our results show how vitally important it is to achieve and maintain net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in order to limit these risks for the next hundreds of years and beyond,“ explains co-lead author Tessa Möller, scientist at International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) and PIK. 👇 https://lnkd.in/e6n-fJ2b
30% of the carbon dioxide that we emit from fossil fuel burning is absorbed by intact nature on land. "It's thanks to the biodiversity and the intact forests systems, in particular, that are buffering this. If you don't have a healthy planet, that capacity of buffering that stress is reduced," says PIK director Johan Rockström on the podcast "The Great Simplification with Nate Hagens". 🎬 Watch the full video: https://lnkd.in/d6829zzY 🎧 Or listen to the podcast: https://lnkd.in/dNPcxTmh
🌳🌱 Der #Wald der Zukunft wird anders aussehen - mehr Lichtungen, Totholz, Unterwuchs und weniger Bäume. "Derzeit findet noch zu wenig Waldumbau statt", sagt PIK-Forscher Christopher Reyer im Interview über Wälder im Klimawandel: https://lnkd.in/dU_xtSBa
🎧 How greener buildings can contribute to Europe’s #decarbonisation efforts, with PIK scientist Michael Pahle - listen in.👇
📗 Making buildings greener: EU decarbonisation plans By 2030, the European Union must reduce emissions from the heating and cooling of buildings – responsible for 13 percent of EU emissions – by the equivalent of the annual emissions of Slovakia. In this episode of The Sound of Economics, Rebecca Christie sits down with Michael Pahle, Marion Santini and Giovanni Sgaravatti to discuss how greener buildings can play contribute to Europe’s decarbonisation efforts. They discuss new EU rules, expanding the emissions trading scheme, and the need to find financing for energy-friendly renovations, as well as how to shield households and small companies from the impact of higher carbon prices.

"Ambitionierte Klimapolitik ist kein Luxusprojekt für gute Zeiten. #Klimapolitik ist Wohlstandssicherung und gehört zur staatlichen Daseinsvorsorge", sagt PIK-Direktor Ottmar Edenhofer @tonline. Im Interview spricht er über wirksamen #Klimaschutz, die Rolle der EU und darüber, warum uns globale Klimaschäden nicht egal sein sollten: https://lnkd.in/dxMXBai2

The earth is sending bigger and bigger bills, like droughts, floods, and heat waves, states PIK Director Johan Rockström in recent TED talk during the Bloomberg Green Festival. This would be causing serious economic costs: "The latest scientific update shows an 19% loss of GDP by 2050 if we follow the current path. This is equivalent to 38 trillion US dollar of loss per year in 2050. It’s starting to hurt, both in human social costs and in economic cost." Yet, according to Rockström, there would be ample evidence that citizens across the world care about nature & climate. "They are concerned, they want solutions. (...) We have also so much evidence that the solutions are not only available, but if we implement them, we get a more healthy, stable, secure future with jobs and economies that can compete and provide livelihoods into the future."
