Zitat aus dem Interview mit Niklas Höhne, Klimaforscher und Mitgründer des Kölner New Climate Institute: „China hat die Entscheidung für die Erneuerbaren gefällt“ aus dem aktuellen Briefing Energie & Klima.

Gerne wird beim Thema #Klimaschutz auf größere CO₂‑Produzenten verwiesen. Doch das China-Argument lenke von der eigenen Verantwortung ab und stimme zudem nicht, meint @niklashoehne.bsky.social vom @newclimate.bsky.social. China nutze die #Energiewende zum eigenen Vorteil (Test/Abo) 👉 t1p.de/5t8gv

Webinar: Launch of the Article 6 Observatory During the webinar, the new Article 6 Observatory will be launched, followed by a panel discussion on the value, expectations and potenital impact of the Obsevatory.

What 1.5°C compatibility means in practice for the revision of Germany’s export credit guarantees for fossil gas infrastructure This blog post revisits what the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C temperature limit implies for fossil gas infrastructure and the role of federal export credit guarantees.

📢 New blog: 1.5°C compatibility in Germany’s upcoming revision of export credit rules for fossil gas

Climate target assessments aren’t sufficient: gas project developers should provide country-specific proof that any additional gas capacity is 1.5°C-compatible.

Ten years ago today, governments finalised the Paris Agreement, cementing in the 1.5˚C warming limit as a guardrail, a survial line for many countries.
Thanks to the #ParisAgreement, they have reduced projected 2100 warming by 1˚C, down to 2.6˚C from the 3-4˚C we were projecting in 2015.

The EU’s clean electricity shift is moving but not fast enough.

The elements of the system that enable clean electricity like grids, battery storage and smart meters are still developing too slowly.
