The mobility transition requires a reallocation of public space.

Am 16. Februar 2023 findet die Abschlussveranstaltung des Forschungsprojekts SHAPE statt. SHAPE steht für “Sustainable development pathways achieving Human well-being while safeguarding the climate And Planet Earth” – dt. “Wege zu einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung, die das menschliche Wohlergehen mit dem Schutz des Klimas und des Planeten Erde verbindet”.

Hauptautor Rainer Quitzow (RIFS Potsdam) stellt die Studie "Building partnerships for an international hydrogen economy. Entry-points for European policy action" öffentlich vor. Anschließend gibt es einen digitalen Roundtable mit Christiane Averbeck (Klima-Allianz Deutschland), Markus Exenberger (H2Global Stiftung), Maira Kusch (Weltenergierat - Deutschland) und Andreas Rimkus (SPD-Bundestagsfraktion).

Tuesday Talk “The spectre of carbon leakage” by Nino Jordan, appointed Klaus Töpfer Sustainability Fellow, shows that the spectre of carbon leakage - the relocation of emissions-intensive operations to escape regulation, displacing rather than reducing emissions - is a key barrier to high climate policy ambition levels. Carbon clubs and border carbon adjustments are the main instruments proposed to counter carbon leakage but they can only be implemented at a high level, there is high uncertainty about their prospects and they may lack in ambition.

This DFG Round Table is part of the activities undertaken by the DKN Working Group Anticipating and Transforming Coastal Futures and aims to critically reflect on how transdisciplinary sustainability science focused on the coastal and marine environment is approached within the (German) research community. Participants are invited to discuss and together with the DKN working group develop recommendations for transdisciplinary coastal research.

Wir erleben Zeiten multipler Krisen: Der Ukraine-Krieg, steigende Energie- und Lebensmittelpreise, wachsende Inflationsraten, und ein klimawandelbedingter heißer Sommer und zu milder Herbst seien hier als Beispiele genannt, die die Brandenburgerinnen und Brandenburger bewegen und sorgen. Das Thema Nachhaltigkeit rückt dabei oft in den Hintergrund. Jedoch birgt nachhaltige Entwicklung die Chance Brandenburg krisenfest für die Zukunft zu machen.

This webinar examines the recent interest in hydrogen energy among political and economic leaders in the oil and gas producing states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). The region has seen many new “post-oil” energy investments over the past decade, but hydrogen energy has recently spiked in interest among Gulf oil and gas producers – especially among the state-owned hydrocarbon giants in the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
