I think the most important issue at stake at #COP30 in #Bélem on mitigation is whether the #UNFCCC continues addressing the transitions needed to achieve the mitigation objectives of the #ParisAgreement - or gets forced back into discussing the global emissions gap only in abstract terms

Recently German political discourse is replete with attacks on the EU ETS. In an op-ed I argue that these attacks could easily become a self-fulfilling prophecy. It may help us short term we are shooting ourselves in the foot in the race for the future: wupperinst.org/en/a/wi/a/s/...

Guten Morgen deutsche Medien: Diese Studie zeigt: a) dass die AfD unverhältnismäßige mediale Aufmerksamkeit erhält (=mehr als ihre elektorale Größe suggerieren könnte). b) dass diese Aufmerksamkeit mit der strategischen Störung des politischen Prozesses durch die AfD an sich zusammenhängt.

A lot of people are trying to make sense of Trump's tariffs. The only pattern I see is chaos. And it is not a bug but a feature: Chaos is a policy objective. Trump thrives on chaos.

We have been selling computer hardware and software separately forever. Can't EU Automakers do the same? Just reduce prices (and tariffs) of car hardware and charge costumers extra for the software to rub the car. Separate product, separate tariffs...

We @wuppertalinstitut.bsky.social have analyzed the #CleanIndustrialDeal. Overall it provides urgently needed industrial policy orientation in a geopolitical storm. But it has its limitations. Read the full report here: wupperinst.org/fileadmin/re... 🔌💡

Trump wants to make the US to dominate global 🔌💡energy markets, coerce the EU in buying ever more US LNG. Why should he be interested in brokering peace in Ukraine? It would only bring back Russian gas which would end his energy dreams. If anything it should be his interest to prolong the war, no?

#Sozialwissenschaften bereichern die Energie- & #Industrietransformation, spielt bisher aber eine Nebenrolle. Es ist Zeit, politische & soziale Dimensionen der Energiewende ins Zentrum zu rücken, schreiben @lukashermwille.bsky.social (@wuppertalinstitut.bsky.social) & Rainer Quitzow 👉 is.gd/R0oMaz
Standpunkt von Rainer Quitzow, Gruppenleiter am Forschungsinstitut für Nachhaltigkeit (RIFS), Helmholtz-Zentrum Potsdam, und Lukas Hermwille, Co-Leiter Transformative Industriepolitik am Wuppertal Institut für Klima, Umwelt, Energie: "Die Energiewende braucht sozialwissenschaftliche Forschung" aus dem aktuellen Briefing Energie & Klima

This is crucial! We hear so often that "we just need the political will" to implement the transformation. Social sciences are key to understand the limits of political will and how to move them! Thanks to @ecpr.bsky.social and STRN for this important initiative.

Why did markets react so + on Trump's election in the US and - in the EU? To me it seems the US is headed for economic disaster if he implements his promised industrial policies. This analysis by @bentleyallan.bsky.social and Tim Sahay confirms my hunch. www.netzeropolicylab.com/trump-retreat

Bin mot of the day at #COP28: Vheba Dhawan, Director General of TERI India: "Let's not reinvent the broken wheel." She said it in a workshop on accelerating multi stakeholder cooperation for climate action in the Global South. Absloutely spot on.

On my way to COP28 with mixed feelings. This event has grown out of proportion. I am afraid of the sheer masses of nearly 100k participants. Who would have thought UNFCCC conferences are the first place where we physically experience the limits to growth.
