Extreme Hitze kostet Gesundheit & Wirtschaft. PIK-Forscherin @leoniewenz.bsky.social betont in der ZEIT: Klimaanpassung braucht mehr erneuerbare Energien & Speicher. Zugleich liege der CO₂-Preis derzeit deutlich unter den tatsächlichen Kosten. (paywall) www.zeit.de/2026-06/prod...

Hitze und Wirtschaft: So schmilzt das Wachstum dahin

Höhere Energiekosten, weniger Produktivität: Die Hitze kostet die Wirtschaft langfristig Milliarden. Das spüren auch Kleinbetriebe wie ein Dachdecker aus Hamburg.

Klimaschutz kostet. Aber kein Klimaschutz kostet auch: „Wobei sich viele Folgen des Klimawandels gar nicht in Geldwert ausdrücken lassen – etwa Menschenleben, Gesundheit, Biodiversität oder gesellschaftliches Miteinander“, sagt PIK-Forscherin Leonie Wenz. www.zdfheute.de/video/heute-...

The EU carbon price on imports #CBAM could incentivise trade partners to adopt carbon pricing as well. With this response, global emissions reduction is 73% over and above the impact of the EU #ClimatePolicy alone. PIK-led modelling study @jaereaere.bsky.social. www.pik-potsdam.de/en/news/late...

Was sind die sozialen Kosten des Klimawandels? Darum geht es heute um 16:15 in der #Ringvorlesung zum #Klimaschutz an der @tuberlin.bsky.social. Es referiert Umweltökonomin Prof. Dr. Leonie Wenz.

„Der Klimawandel beeinflusst Nahrungsmittelpreise, Produktivität, Gesundheit, Landwirtschaft, Strombedarf – eigentlich fast jeden gesellschaftlich relevanten Bereich.“ PIK-Forscherin @leoniewenz.bsky.social in einem lesenswerten @zeit.de-Artikel zu #Klima & #Wirtschaft www.zeit.de/wirtschaft/2...

Klimaschutz und Wirtschaft: Stimmt es eigentlich, dass zu viel Klimaschutz der Wirtschaft schadet?

Ob beim Verbrenner-Aus oder der Industriekrise – Politiker verteufeln den Klimaschutz als Wirtschaftskiller. Vorn mit dabei: Kanzler Merz. Aber stimmt das eigentlich?

In der #Ringvorlesung zum #Klimaschutz an der @tuberlin.bsky.social geht es heute ab 16:15 darum, wie multiskalige Erdbeobachtung dazu beiträgt, die Verletzlichkeit von Ökosystemen zu verstehen und Strategien für Klimaschutz zu entwickeln.
