The rapid loss of biodiversity and ongoing climate change are also the result of intensive agriculture. At the same time, they jeopardize agriculture and food security. The Leibniz Lab "Systemic Sustainability" brings together relevant knowledge in science and society on this fundamental challenge in order to promote the development and implementation of systemic solutions.
The current socio...

Research Project
The project deals with scientific questions on industrial transformation towards a climate-neutral and resilient economy, covering the entire breadth of this topic. Questions on industrial transformation in Germany and beyond are formulated with a view to the EU's energy and climate policy instruments. The approach applies scientific methods throughout.
The background to the project is the very...

Research Project
Overview
Basic materials, such as aluminium, cement and steel, are central to our economies, but their production accounts for around 16 percent of European and 25 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. It is therefore difficult to envisage how Europe can reach the commitments under the Paris Climate Agreement without significant emission reductions from the materials sector.
While some...

Energy consumption for household heating is capturing increasing attention. In the short-term, gas – and thus heat–saving has become a core policy objective in the current energy crisis. Only if households save sufficient gas will it be possible to avoid curtailment of industrial energy gas demand. Gas savings will also reduce scarcity on the markets, and thus is an important element to mitigate...

The rise of populism continues to shake numerous Western democracies, often leading to exclusionary or authoritarian tendencies (Mudde, 2004). This is evident in events such as the US Capitol storming in January 2021 and the attempted coup in Germany in December 2022. The destabilizing threat to democratic institutions across the EU and the US underscores the importance of understanding populism’s...

Overview
The project relates to the current political discussion on the decarbonization of industry. The focus is on project-based Carbon Contracts for Difference (CCfD) for industry. An important focus is on the design and monitoring of a national support scheme. The research results of the project are incorporated into the development of the program as required and as targeted as possible....

The European Green Deal includes the goal of enshrining the long-term objective of climate neutrality by 2050 in legislation and increasing the EU’s climate by 2030. In this context, the Green Deal emphasized that “should differences in levels of ambition worldwide persist, as the EU increases its climate ambition, the Commission will propose a carbon border adjustment mechanism, for selected...

The project looks at different options of a per-capita rebate of revenues from CO2 pricing in Germany. The German government has decided to introduce a national emissions trading system for the heat and transport sectors in its Climate Action Programme 2030. Such a CO2 pricing implies distributional challenges, since lower-income and middle-income households are more exposed to CO2 prices relative...

The project aims to provide technical assistance to the Republic of Korea for the implementation of the Korean Emissions Trading System (KETS). The KETS will be a valuable tool to help Korea cost-effectively meet its greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets, which is especially important since Korea has become the OECD's fastest-growing GHG emitter. DIW’s main role in the project so far was...

The project “Policies to finance energy efficiency” rigorously evaluates efficiency financing facilities using advanced econometric methods. The aim of the study is to, first, identify market failures that stifle the financing of energy efficiency, and, second, suggest policy interventions that may address these failures. Special attention is given to whether loans or subsidies are better suited...

Research Project
The energy cost burden is communicated as a major competitiveness concern especially by energy intensive industries. This project provides a transparent, up-to-date index of sector-specific industrial unit energy costs. We update official statistical data using information on energy use and fuel prices and provide a fuel-specific breakdown of overall unit energy costs for each manufacturing sector.
