📺 Weekend watch tip: "We have so much evidence that we can be both prosperous and innovative," explains PIK Director Johan Rockström in an interview with RNZ. "I would even argue that if you operate within and are guided by planetary boundaries, you are more likely to innovate, become more resource-efficient, and move toward an electrified, digital, green energy-powered global economy that is more modern, fair, resilient, independent, and more local."

New global science panel to help countries move away from fossil fuels, linking climate science, economics and real-world policy. Convened by PIK Director Johan Rockström & co-chaired by PIK Director Ottmar Edenhofer, the initiative will support countries in developing pathways out of oil, gas and coal.
“The science panel can play a unique role in providing updates on what needs to happen year by year," Rockström said.

🆕 While the #AMOC is showing signs of slowing down, its Nordic branch #NOC is projected to strengthen. Researchers have now identified a density-driven mechanism that links these opposing trends.
“The stability of the NOC and its projected increase have been viewed by some as a contradiction to the weakening AMOC. But our findings tell us the opposite. The strengthening of the NOC is a physical consequence of AMOC weakening,” said co-author @npub1cau…kvw2 of PIK.

🆕 study: Global warming must stay below 2°C and return to 1.5°C as quickly as possible to reduce tipping point risks. Long term, temperatures must cool to 1°C above pre-industrial levels, scientists from University of Exeter, CICERO - Center for International Climate Research & PIK find.
“It’s concerning that, even with a small and relatively brief overshoot of the 1.5°C target, up to five Earth system tipping points could be triggered ,” says PIK's Nico Wunderling.

Carbon dioxide removal requires careful site selection to avoid harm to #biodiversity, a new study shows. At the same time, the researchers find that the cooling effects of #CDR can benefit biodiversity.
The analysis shows that in ambitious emissions-reduction scenarios, where global warming temporarily overshoots 1.5°C before returning to it by 2100, up to 13 percent of land allocated to #CDR could overlap with areas of high biodiversity value.

OUT NOW!
A large-scale model study led by PIK shows how the global #food system can contribute to #climate mitigation.
It identifies 23 levers, calculates their effectiveness and concludes: a decisive transformation of this sector alone can limit global heating to 1.85°C by 2050.
In addition, food will become healthier and cheaper, and agriculture will be more compatible with biodiversity conservation.

“Ten years ago we had a more orderly path for staying away from 1.5 °C, with low or no #overshoot. Now we we are 10 years later, we have failed,” Johan Rockström tells The Associated Press.

"Wir können Klimafolgen nicht mehr verhindern. Die Zeit dafür ist vorbei, wie dieses Jahr zeigt", sagt PIK-Forscher Nico Wunderling im Gespräch über die Resilienz der Erde. Ab circa 2050, idealerweise davor, werden netto-negative CO2-Emissionen nötig sein, um die 1,5°C-Grenze zu halten. " Das kann durch Aufforsten passieren, muss aber auch technologische Lösungen beinhalten.": https://www.zdf.de/nachrichten/wissen/klimawandel-globale-erwaermung-klimaforscher-interview-100.html

🎉 Congratulations to Maximilian Kotz, recipient of the 2024 Leibniz Dissertation Award for his exceptional research on the economic costs of climate change, conducted at PIK. 💐 👏 His work examines the profound economic impact of #ClimateChange: https://www.pik-potsdam.de/en/news/latest-news/maximilian-kotz-receives-leibniz-dissertation-award-for-201cthe-economic-costs-of-climate-change201d
The jury highlighted that his work demonstrates significant social relevance, particularly by showing that the regions most affected by climate change will be in the Global South.
