Ressortforschungsplan 2024, Klimaschutz im Zeichen der globalen Dreifachkrise

In Anbetracht der globalen Dreifachkrise zwischen Klimawandel, Verschmutzung und Biodiversitätsverlust ist die Ausarbeitung verbindlicher globaler Ziele zum Schutz des Klimas, der Ökosysteme, der Biodiversität und der menschlichen Gesundheit von höchster Wichtigkeit. Um diese Krisen zu meistern, bedarf es insbesondere ein klima- und ressourcenschonendes Wirtschaften, den Schutz und die Wiederherstellung natürlicher Ökosysteme aber auch eine kritische Auseinandersetzung mit dazu ggfs. erforderlichen technischen Lösungen. Die kurz- und langfristigen Entwicklungen in diesen Bereichen können maßgeblich die internationale Klimadebatte und insbesondere den Prozess der internationalen Klimaverhandlungen (UNFCCC) aber auch anderer Gremien und Foren (u.a. UNEA, G7, G20) beeinflussen und steuern. In diesem Refoplanvorhaben sollen die Herausforderungen dieser globalen Krisen und deren Wechselwirkungen dargestellt sowie aufgezeigt werden, wie sich diese auf den internationalen Klimaschutz sowie die jeweiligen Verhandlungsprozesse auswirken. Ebenfalls soll aufgezeigt werden, wie die jeweiligen Lösungsansätze besser in den Strukturen der internationalen Klimaarchitektur verankert werden können, beispielsweise im Rahmen der Nationalen Minderungsbeiträge (NDCs) oder Langfriststrategien. Dazu sollen auch die Ergebnisse der bei COP28 erstmals anstehenden Globalen Bestandsaufnahme (Global Stocktake) in die Analyse mit einfließen. Im Weiteren soll am Beispiel von Schwerpunktländern Positionen und Entwicklung im Verhandlungsprozess analysiert sowie Umsetzungspotentiale für ambitioniertere Klimaschutzbeiträge, die im Rahmen der Dreifachkrise synergetisch wirken können, analysiert werden. Die Ziele dieses Vorhabens sollen klar auf die Verwertbarkeit für die internationalen Klimaverhandlungen zugeschnitten sein, um die Position Deutschlands und ggf. der EU in diesen Verhandlungen zu stärken. Dazu zählen auch kurzfristige . . .

Economic/Climate Recovery Scorecards

As global leaders head to the G20 summit to consider solutions to the current global economic crisis, a new report prepared by Ecofys and Germanwatch for WWF and E3G reveals that many of the economic recovery packages being discussed are a missed opportunity in terms of stimulating a green recovery, and actually run the risk of locking the world into a high-carbon future. The report provides the most detailed and comprehensive analysis to date of the proposed 'stimulus' packages of five key countries - France, Germany, Italy, the UK and the US - as well as the package agreed by the European Union as a whole.

EU Climate Policy Tracker

The EU Climate Policy Tracker (EU CPT) presents up-to-date developments in climate and energy policies in the EU-27. Although government policy is the single most influential driver behind the fight against climate change, there is limited information about the status of the policies that influence increases or decreases in emissions. The EU Climate Policy Tracker (EU CPT) is intended to bridge this gap. The project holds two references in focus at the same time: a 2050 goal of near total decarbonisation, and our current policy trajectory. A uniquely developed scoring method, modelled on appliance efficiency labels (A-G), gives an indication of how Member States are doing compared to a low-carbon policy package. This results in aggregated scores, supported with a rich background of information, for all Member States, at EU level, and for different economic sectors. The project is intended to be a resource for those seeking information, a means of sharing best practice, and a way of holding policymakers to account. In 2011 we updated our initial rating from November 2010. The findings of 2010 showed that the average score across the EU was an E, indicating that the level of effort needed to treble to be on track to reach the 2050 vision. Looking at the developments in 2011, we can see that there has been considerable activity in many countries, though the overall scoring has generally remained constant: positive actions are counteracted by negative developments or budget cuts. The EU CPT is a joint project by Ecofys and WWF. The project is funded by the European Climate Foundation. Visit the EU Climate Policy Tracker on: www.climatepolicytracker.eu.

Factors underpinning future action - Update 2008

For the UK Department of Energy and Climate Ecofys prepared country factsheets. The factsheets include greenhouse gas emissions, energy use, sectoral trends, emission reduction costs and climate policies for 61 countries. These new data are valuable references for the negotiations during the Climate Summit in Poznan.

Vergleich der Treibhausgasminderungen von Industriestaaten - Exploring comparable post-2012 reduction efforts - EU climate targets substantial emission reductions for developed countries are obligatory

The study assesses different approaches to turn emission reducing efforts of different countries (Annex I) comparable. The emission reducing targets and costs are very different for the Annex I countries. In order to achieve the EU climate target of 2 C the EU has to reduce its emissions by 30Prozent. In addition other developed countries must commit themselves to emission reductions by 15 - 30Prozent and economically more advanced developing countries must also contribute proportionally in accordance to their responsibilities and respective capabilities.

Towards a Post-2012 Climate Change Regime

Commissioned by the European Union, Ecofys performed an exploration of possible approaches to the UNFCCCs Post-2012 negotiation process. Key elements of the report include a three-stage agreement on emission reductions of Kyoto-gases (excluding LUCF) and options towards agreement on LUCF/deforestation (with a goal of reducing emissions by 10 to 20Prozent), adapting to climate change, and the joint development of various technologies for meeting countries' long-term emission reduction targets.

Making Energy-Efficiency Happen - From potential to reality

For WWF International Ecofys made an assessment of policies and measures in G8 plus 5 countries, with recommendations for decision makers at national and international level.

Mapping Carbon Pricing Initiatives - developments and prospects

The uncertainty surrounding the future of existing carbon markets in recent years has prevented valuable resources from being channeled to low-carbon investments, particularly from the private sector. Additionally, the prospect of a coordinated international approach to carbon pricing will remain uncertain for several years. However, the report reveals, that regional, national and sub-national carbon pricing initiatives are proliferating. Despite weak international carbon markets, both developed and developing countries are mainstreaming carbon pricing initiatives in national climate change and development strategies. This report prepared by the World Bank together with Ecofys, replaces the State and Trends of the Carbon Market series. Unlike in previous years, the report does not provide a quantitative, transaction-based analysis of the international carbon market as current market conditions invalidate any attempt and interest to undertake such analysis. The development of national and sub-national carbon pricing initiatives in an increasing number of countries calls for a different focus. This report maps existing and emerging carbon pricing initiatives around the world, hence its new title. It analyses common considerations across the initiatives, such as setting the appropriate ambition level, implementing price stabilization mechanisms, using offsets, and taking concrete moves towards linking schemes together. Feel free to watch below webcast by Alyssa Gilbert to familiarise yourself with the main outcomes of the study.

G8 Climate Scorecards

The report concludes with a global cumulative GHG emission cap for the period from 2010 till 2050. It outlines mid-term and long-term cumulative emission allowances for key countries under the three equity approaches and trajectories for these countries to keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius. The objective of the report is to initiate a constructive debate among and foster long-term commitments of the parties while moving towards a fair, ambitious and binding Copenhagen agreement. The report was written on request of WWF.
