„“Climate change is perhaps the most urgent issue of our generation and time may well be running out for us to halt the rise in global temperatures,” says Jamie Arnell (Downing 1988) who is supporting the Centre for Climate Repair at Cambridge (CCRC) to find innovative solutions to help repair our climate.“

“The authors assess the effect of climate change on CO2 exchange of south Swedish temperate peatlands, which were either unmanaged or subject to water level regulation.“

„The goal of this dissertation is to assess the uncertainty in cost-benefit analysis of climate change and corresponding damages.“
„The “most fundamental” climate metric takes a troubling turn.“

Authors: Steve Brock (CCS), Oliver-Leighton Barrett (CCS), Laura Birkman (HCSS), Elisabeth Dick (HCSS), Leah Emanual (CCS), Sherri Goodman (CCS), Kate Guy (CCS), Sofia Kabbej (IRIS), Tom Middendorp (Clingendael), Michel Rademaker (HCSS), Femke Remmits (HCSS), Julia Tasse (IRIS). Edited by Erin Sikorsky.
„The report reveals that the increasing pace and intensity of climate hazards will strain military and security services around the world as they are called on to respond to climate-driven crises, while also facing direct climate threats to their own infrastructure and readiness. The authors also call on security institutions around the globe to act as “leading voices urging significantly reduced greenhouse gas emissions, given recent warnings about the catastrophic security implications of climate change under plausible climate scenarios.”“
„“If we want to avoid catastrophic climate change, the highest priority must be to reduce CO2 pollution to zero at the earliest possible date,” one top scientist says.“

„Solar geoengineering research should be cautiously ramped up, says the US National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) in a report released on 25 March. Tools to cool the planet cannot undo global warming, but they may avert some of its worst impacts.“

„If the world is to meet the climate change, biodiversity, and land degradation targets, it needs to close a USD 4.1 trillion financing gap in nature by 2050. The current investments in Nature-based solutions amount to USD 133 billion – most of which comes from public sources.“
„As technological carbon removal has garnered widespread attention, one response resurfaces again and again: Why complicate climate solutions with expensive, experimental technology when Earth’s most efficient carbon removal machines already exist in nature? Why not just plant more trees?“
