Last Gasp of the Coal Industry

This report takes a look behind the bright vision of carbon capture and storage (CCS) given by proponents of this technology. It is not intended to damn CCS but is an appeal for wise decision-making.

1.5°C Pathways for the EU27: accelerating climate action to deliver the Paris Agreement

Briefing

1.5°C Pathways for the Council of Europe: accelerating climate action to deliver the Paris Agreement

Briefing

Failing to achieve 1.5°C puts a huge economic burden on our (grand)children

Short briefing which calculates, based on methodology developed by the London School of Economics, what the costs of action and inaction would be for several EU scenarios. The briefing finds that current policies would lead to a GDP loss of 7.11%/year by 2100, while implementing the Fit for 55 proposals would lead to an annual loss of 2.58%. Opting for a real 1.5°C compatible pathway on the other hand would lead to an increase of GDP of 0.84%. The benefits of increasing ambition are thus also important in economic terms. In particular for future generations as they will foot the bill of our inaction.

Policy implications of Europe’s dwindling carbon budget

Defining 1.5°C compatible CO₂ targets and climate finance responsibilities for a range of European countries
This briefing aims to contribute to the discussion on the potential application of carbon budgets in the policy debate by identifying both emission reduction targets and climate finance responsibilities for 42 European countries based on a 1.5°C compatible global carbon budget.

Briefing

The EU too must revisit its 2030 climate pledge (NDC ) as -55% is not compatible with 1.5°C
