🌍🔬 The success of the Paris Agreement hinges on Nationally Determined Contribution (NDCs) updates -but not all countries have enhanced the ambition of their pledges.
In our #OpenAccess paper – w @harrovanasselt @LukasHermwille @OberthuerSeb we try to explain that.
A thread 1/5

Electrification could now reach 75% of all energy demand, as the road-transport and heating sectors rapidly electrify 🔥🚗

These two sectors account for 50% of global energy use and are now ready to switch from fossil molecules to clean electrons.

Renewables are now cheaper than new coal power in India 🇮🇳

New coal: ~USD 68/MWh
Solar + storage: USD 33–41/MWh
Firm and dispatchable RE: USD 49–67/MWh

As renewables scale, India can meet its 2032 power needs without adding new coal.

🚨 New in Climate Policy 🚨
Why are Paris Agreement pledges so hard to implement?
We identify 5 key risks ⚠️:
Overtly high NDC ambition
Institutional weakness
Interest group opposition
Policy inconsistency
Weak monitoring/enforcement

Not sure how many people realize that battery storage already supplies 30% of California’s electricity demand at peak.

Batteries aren’t the future — they’re here now.

“Beekeepers across America began reporting massive beehive collapses”

Bees contribute $500b/ year to the world’s economy through the global crop production that would not otherwise be there if it weren’t for the bees

The Limits of Moral Outrage

Adam Przeworski expresses his reservations about a common reaction to Trump: moral outrage.

Since many academics and non-academics seek to give voice to and magnify moral outrage, this comment is well worth considering.

This seems to get lost in political discussions.

[Jan Rosenow @janrosenow]

There is no country/zone with a) high prices and low carbon emissions or b) with low prices and high emissions.

The higher the carbon emissions from electricity generation in 2024, the higher the prices and vice versa.

February 2025
The country with the highest temperature anomaly was Finland, the country with the most negative temperature anomaly was Jordan.
Preliminarly,the month ends as the 4th warmest, but being close to the 3rd and the 5th,some agencies can rank it anywhere 3rd to 5th
