13 initiatives from five countries: Lithuania, Poland, Germany, Denmark and Sweden that steer towards a more sustainable food system.

The Baltic Sea Offshore Wind Collaborative-Learning (BALOWIL) is a pilot project aiming to find new ways of addressing offshore wind conflicts.

The agreed global goal is to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C. Now countries must act to make this happen.

This briefing explains the scientific and political process which led to countries committing explicitly to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C. Instrumental to these decisions was a process called: the Periodic Review of the long-term global goal under the Convention and of overall progress towards achieving it (PR2). The briefing also gives an overview how the Kyoto Protocol was implemented and which greenhouse gas reductions were achieved.

Greening electricity: Global and EU status and trends.

Wind and solar produced more than 10% of global electricity in 2021, for the first time. They also surpassed nuclear, which fell below 10% for the first time in several decades. Hydro is still the top non-fossil electricity producer, but solar and wind are growing much faster.

This policy brief provides an overview of the proposals for the ETS-2 covering road transport and buildings. The amendments and guidance by the European Parliament and the Council are assessed and compared to the proposal by the European Commission. In addition, we provide recommendations for each assessed issue to enhance the effectiveness of the ETS while trying to minimise practical obstacles which would impede its introduction.

This briefing is on oil, what it is used for and how to get rid of it, with an emphasis on Europe.

This briefing summarises the impacts of global warming at and above 1.5°C relative to pre-industrial levels. Key information is extracted from the Special Reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) of its sixth assessment report cycle (AR6).

The report explains that limiting warming to 1.5°C avoids the worst impacts of climate, highlights climate change impacts that could be avoided by limiting global warming to 1.5°C compared to 2°C and that it is clear that limiting warming to 1.5°C is still possible even when accounting for uncertainties and feedbacks in the climate system.
