The vulnerability of economic sectors to climate change depends on both the expected regional climate change and the sectors' ability to adapt. In Germany, 80 % of the total area of land is used by the agriculture and forestry sectors and they belong to the most climate- sensitive branches. Climate change will have a significant impact on this sector. In comparison to crop production, where...

Determining a robust mix of energy carriers for a carbon-neutral EU
Decarbonising the European energy system requires a fundamental transformation in the way societies provide, transport and consume energy. Disagreement exists over how this system should look in 2050. In this project, we prepared an overview report on the decarbonisation options for coal, natural gas, and hydrogen in Europe.
The...
