To be clear: the US election result is a blow in the fight against the climate crisis. The window to limit warming to 1.5°C is closing—these next 4 years are critical. But let’s not despair. The Paris Agreement has proven resilient, stronger than any one country’s policies (1/10)

🚨New paper🚨
@ndcaspects member @PanagiotisFrag8 contributed in a multi-model study on the future of international shipping in a world below 2°C. Emissions reductions in the sector can reach up to 86% by 2050, primarily with low-carbon fuels.

"Implemented policies result in projected emissions that lead to warming of 3.2°C, with a range of 2.2°C to 3.5°C (medium confidence)"
According to the landmark, widely reported IPCC Synthesis Report published in 2023.

Very excited to introduce to the world our new #HorizonEU project!
RETOOL: Strengthening democratic governance for climate transitions
Bringing together 9 partners across Europe, the project seeks to address the climate crisis and reinvigorate democratic processes & structures
George Xexakis retweeted
Great to kick off our #HorizonEU project RETOOL @retool_project today! The project focuses on strengthening #democratic #governance for #climate transitions.
Thanks to all project partners for great discussions about our project plans. Hopefully we will keep smiling throughout!!

Media: 1.5C crossed
* 1 day
* 1 week
* 1 month
* 1 year in one data set
* average over 365 days
* (calendar year)
* (consecutive calendar years)
* (3 out of the last 5 years)
Scientists:
* It's just one year
* 1.5C is not a threshold
* Every 0.1C matters
* 1.5C is still alive

"Scenarios are neither predictions nor forecasts" [IPCC]
"None of the scenarios... should be considered a forecast" [IEA]
[We are happy for them to be used as forecasts, but we can't call them forecasts because we would always be wrong]

At @PIK_Climate we are looking for Postdocs and PhD candidates to model and explore #circularity and #industry transformation scenarios of #energy-intensive industries (steel, cement, and plastics).
