The Energy Transition in an Era of Protectionist Global Climate Policy In the face of escalating climate change, the imperative for governments to take action to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions has never been more urgent. To facilitate a transition to low-carbon energy systems, the scientific community agrees on strong public policy intervention as a necessary tool for acceleration. One such tool, green industrial policy, has recently surfaced as a more popular approach, marking a significant evolution in climate strategy as well as global trade order. However, green industrial policy is a two-sided coin: it is both a climate action plan and a vehicle for promoting a “domestic-first” agenda that prioritizes local industry and job creation. Politically, this combination promises a higher probability of success domestically, i.e. more likely to garner voter and industry support, but may perhaps strain global political dynamics, i.e. alienate close trade partners and strain relations with allies. Technologically, a domestic-first approach may accelerate local innovation and adoption, though may also limit global cost reductions of key low-carbon energy technologies for decarbonization. Given these tradeoffs, what is the best way forward for global industrial climate policy and how can we best manage some of the positive/negative consequences of such policies? Join the input & discussion with Bessie Noll at our next Café Scientifique is taking on 14 October 2024, 19:00 at Coworking Lounge Tessinerplatz.

We are happy to annouce "Cook the Science" an innovative public lecture series where renowned chefs and ETH Zürich's finest scientists collaborate to unravel the fascinating science behind everyday cooking. "Cook the Science" is led by Prof. Dr. Thomas Michaels, Assistant Professor of Soft and Living Matter Physics at ETH Zurich and realized in cooperation with Life Science Zurich. Each lecture will feature a blend of scientific discussions led by ETH scientists and live cooking demonstrations by celebrated chefs. Join researchers and renowned chefs in this engaging "ETH Cooking Show" to uncover the fascinating science behind everyday cooking. What happens physically when we whip cream? Why do we knead bread? What is the science behind perfect pasta al dente? The 2024 series starting on 22 October will feature famous chefs and food producers Rebecca Clopath GmbH, Jens Jung and Markus Stöckle. Lectures are held on Tuesdays once a month, from 18:00 to 19:15 and take place in ETH main building. All events are free and open to everyone.
