Extreme Hitze kostet Gesundheit & Wirtschaft. PIK-Forscherin @leoniewenz.bsky.social betont in der ZEIT: Klimaanpassung braucht mehr erneuerbare Energien & Speicher. Zugleich liege der CO₂-Preis derzeit deutlich unter den tatsächlichen Kosten. (paywall) www.zeit.de/2026-06/prod...

Hitze und Wirtschaft: So schmilzt das Wachstum dahin
Höhere Energiekosten, weniger Produktivität: Die Hitze kostet die Wirtschaft langfristig Milliarden. Das spüren auch Kleinbetriebe wie ein Dachdecker aus Hamburg.
