Flexibilität & Sicherheit: Handlungsoptionen für einen grünen Strommarkt 💡 In Deutschland unterscheidet sich je nach Jahres- und Tageszeit sehr deutlich, wie viel #Wind weht 🌬️ und wie viel #Sonne 🌤️ scheint. Ein dekarbonisiertes #Stromnetz, das sich aus #ErneuerbarenEnergien speist, setzt deshalb eine hohe #Flexibilität voraus. 🔅 ⏯️ 🔆 Dynamische #Stromtarife könnten eine Lösung sein und Verbrauchende motivieren, ihren #Stromverbrauch anzupassen. In einem Kurzdossier stellen Ariadne-Forschende vom Fraunhofer ISI, dem Fraunhofer IEE, dem Institut für Energiewirtschaft und Rationelle Energieanwendung - Universität Stuttgart, der Stiftung Umweltenergierecht, dem Deutsches Zentrum für Luft-und Raumfahrt e.V., der Technische Universität Nürnberg, der Brandenburgische Technische Universität Cottbus-Senftenberg, dem DIW Berlin - German Institute for Economic Research und der Hertie School in Kurzsteckbriefen 18 Handlungsoptionen zusammen, die den Rahmen für ein emissionsfreies Stromnetz bilden könnten.

🎉 Congratulations to Maximilian Kotz, recipient of the 2024 Leibniz-Gemeinschaft Dissertation Award for his exceptional research on the economic costs of climate change, conducted at PIK. 💐 👏 His work examines the profound economic impact of #ClimateChange: : https://lnkd.in/dA6DKNYg The jury highlighted that his work demonstrates significant social relevance, particularly by showing that the regions most affected by climate change will be in the Global South — areas that have contributed the least to global emissions historically.

„#Klimaschutz ist wichtig für die Zukunftsfähigkeit Brandenburgs“ - Der Wissenschaftliche Klimabeirat des Landes Brandenburg (WBK) hat, unter dem Vorsitz von PIK Forscher Hermann Lotze-Campen, mit seiner ersten Arbeitssitzung in Potsdam seine Tätigkeit aufgenommen. Der WKB wird einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Umsetzung des Brandenburger Klimaplans leisten. Das Ziel: Klimaneutralität für das Land Brandenburg bis 2045. https://lnkd.in/dKKasWtQ

"Wir müssen anerkennen, dass wir mit diesen Konferenzen so nicht weitermachen können. Neun Jahre nach Paris haben wir nicht die Forschtschritte gemacht, die notwendig wären um die Grenze des Pariser Abkommens einzuhalten", sagt Ottmar Edenhofer im ZDF Morgenmagazin: Mit Blick auf die 300 Milliarden Dollar, die Industriestaaten jährlich für Klimaschutz und Klimaanpassung bereitsstellen sollen, kritisiert er: Man könne nicht wohlfeile Ziele formulieren ohne eine klare Vorstellung davon, wie diese erreicht werden sollen. "Die Schritte zur Zielerreichung bleibt die Staatengemeinschaft schuldig", so der PIK-Direktor: https://lnkd.in/daxcJdf6

Too little, too late: The Baku Agreement fails on several accounts. The results are at best the avoidance of a diplomatic disaster. Statements on the outcome of #COP29 by PIK directors Johan Rockström and Ottmar Edenhofer. 👇 Johan Rockström, Earth system scientist: “The Baku agreement of raising 300 billion dollars of public money annually from multiple sources by 2035 fails on several accounts. Too little, too late, from too many sources. Global emissions must be reduced by 7.5 percent per year to avoid unmanageable global outcomes as the world breaches the 1.5°C limit. Starting by taking off 3 billion tonnes of CO2 in 2025. We cannot wait for public climate finance another ten years, by which time loss-and-damage costs will have gone through the roof. Our only chance is full focus on financing and implementing emission cuts now. Furthermore, to solve the climate crisis we need to redirect the entire global economy away from fossil-fuel based growth. Private funding is necessary, but well beyond the critical public climate finance through collective action among nations in the world.” Ottmar Edenhofer, climate economist: “The climate summit in Baku was not a success, but at best the avoidance of a diplomatic disaster. It is now abundantly clear that we need additional negotiation formats for the global fight against the climate crisis. Not all of the almost 200 signatory states to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change necessarily have to sit around the same table for progress to be made. It is now important to link climate financing for the Global South, which was the main topic of discussion in Baku, to emissions reduction in two ways. First, donor states in the wealthy North should mobilise the funds by pricing oil, coal and gas. Second, the money should ideally only flow if the recipient country demonstrably reduces their greenhouse gas emissions. Perhaps such a system can be established at future climate summits, but it is more likely to happen through smaller groups, in so-called climate clubs.” https://lnkd.in/dypkeP8R

Kleines Quiz zum Wochenende, mitmachen & was lernen zum Thema Erneuerbare bei unserem Kopernikus-Projekt Ariadne!

Highlights from COP29 Azerbaijan 21 November - Race to Resilience in Action Faster Together Now approaching the end of its third year, the RtR campaign is making steady progress, with 41 partners in 164 countries working to fulfil their commitments. Collectively, they have reached a significant milestone by designing and starting to implement action plans for protecting the lives and livelihoods of more than 2 billion people most vulnerable to the climate crisis. Driven by the shared vision of a more resilient future, these partners are committed to scaling up their efforts, with the ambitious pledge to increase the resilience of 3.26 billion people by 2030. The RtR campaign underscores the power of collaboration, the strength of diversity and the leadership of non-Party stakeholders in keeping adaptation and resilience at the core of the Global Climate Action Agenda. By uniting a wide array of stakeholders, the campaign demonstrates that collective action is essential to drive meaningful progress in building a climate-resilient world.
