UPTAKE Webinar: "Exploring G7 leadership in carbon dioxide removal policy: Towards new forms of cooperation" 📅 12th Dec., 4-5 pm, CET/10-11 am, ET With perspectives from the EU Commission, Denmark, the US (Jane Flegal) & @Oliver_Geden. Registration: swp-berlin.webex.com/weblink/regist…

🚨 Just in: the new European Commission of Ursula von der Leyen is approved by a majority in the European Parliament. It can now take office on 1 December. ✅ In favour: 370 ❌ Against: 282 ❔ Abstentions: 36

Dieses Argument ist vor allem eins: sachlich falsch. Die EU hat weder ein festes Treibhausgas-Budget noch einen Emissionshandel, der alle Sektoren umfasst. Nur in einem dieser beiden Fälle würden höhere deutsche Ambitionen verpuffen.

Brussels preparing ‘net’ climate goal for 2040, EU sources confirm * 90% target will also include removals from soils and forestry * NGOs, industry, and EU Parliament pushing for separate sub-targets for emissions reductions, land-based removals, and technological removals 1/2

Solar radiation modification technologies cannot fully address climate change. Experts from the Science Advice Mechanism and #EthicsGroup_EU urge responsible research on impacts, caution and prioritising emissions cuts. 🔗 Read their recommendations: europa.eu/!VyrRXc

US interest in climate policy in 2025 is expected to be minimal. Felix Schenuit and Sonja Thielges SWP Berlin argue that carbon management, which enjoys bipartisan support in the US, is an area for transatlantic cooperation with the new administration: americangerman.institute/2024/12/carbon…

The EU's new agriculture commissioner wants the €387bn Common Agricultural Policy to be based primarily on income rather than land. That would be a big change... Interview w Christophe Hansen ft.com/content/b03931… Financial Times

Today the environment ministers of the EU Member States are meeting in Brussels to discuss, among other things, the EU's 2040 #climatetarget

Die EU sollte die internationale Dimension ihrer Klimapolitik stärker in den Blick nehmen und diplomatisch flankieren. In unserem SWP-Aktuell analysieren wir die Klimainnen- & außenpolitik und machen Vorschläge für eine EU Klimaaußenpolitik-Strategie. Ole Adolphsen/Jule Könneke

The EU net 90% emission reduction target is not set in stone. Only 8 Member States support the target openly at the moment.

We currently see a renaissance of international credits in EU climate policy. In this new SWP piece, I discuss the politics of the 2040 target, the possible role for Art. 6, and why I think a 'positive list' for durable removals would be a sensible step ▶️swp-berlin.org/publikation/in…

The legislative proposal for the 2040 target has landed ▶️90% reduction of net GHG compared to 1990 (no separate target for CDR) ▶️flexibilities as central element, incl, international credits & domestic CDR ▶️NDC will include an *indicative* 2035 figure climate.ec.europa.eu/document/downl…
