doi.org/10.1080/154877…

What are production corridors and why do we need them? 🧵

Millionaires are on track to burn more than 70% of remaining carbon budget for 1.5℃ sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Excessive water use by elites exacerbates urban water crisis as much as climate change or population growth nature.com/articles/s4189…

In a world of planetary boundaries & substantial inequalities, between & within countries, it will not be possible to meet basic needs of all people without imposing limits on forms of excess. The climate crisis is, first & foremost, a distributional crisis. @Earth4All_ 2/18

📢New article alert! What does international law say about leaving #fossilfuels in the ground to meet the #ParisAgreement #climate goals? And how could it evolve to do so? I explore these questions in a new #OpenAccess article in @ESG_Journal sciencedirect.com/science/articl…🧵
Some background: as a recent @Nature piece by @st_pye & others shows, if we want to keep below 1.5C, large parts of fossil fuel reserves (oil: 58%, gas: 59%, coal: 89%) are 'unextractable' nature.com/articles/s4158… (2/n)
This message also emerges from the annual #ProductionGap report (heads up: the next one is coming in 2 weeks!) by @SEIclimate @IISD_news @UNEP & others: we need to start winding down production *now* to keep global #climate goals within reach @mlaz_sei @_aploy @SEI_Erickson (3/n)

Dass auch die kluge @afelia diesen Spruch aus dem Öko-Poesiealbum aufsagt, macht ihn nicht richtiger. Ein paar Argumente zum Zusammenhang von Wirtschaftswachstum und Ökologie: /1
👉 Ökonomisches Wachstum (Wertschöpfung) und Ressourcenverbrauch sind zwei paar Stiefel. Entkopplung ist möglich durch Effizienzrevolution & Substitution. Die #Energiewende steht für beides: Mehr Wohlstand pro kWh und Wechsel von fossilen zu erneuerbaren Energien /2
👉Dass der Industriegesellschaft die Ressourcen ausgehen, ist ein Märchen. Ganz im Gegenteil: Kohle und Öl sind im Übermaß verfügbar. Die Herausforderung heißt, sie im Boden zu lassen. /3

New Paper “Climate economics support for the UN climate targets” out in @NatureClimate. We update the DICE model by Nobel Laureate Nordhaus along a number of dimensions & show that there is no discrepancy between the UN targets & the model’s optimal climate paths. A thread:
On the same day the @IPCC_CH @JoeriRogelj released its 1.5C report Nordhaus was awarded the @NobelPrize in Economics i.a. for his Dynamic Integrated Climate-Economy (DICE) model. Using his calibration, 3.5C by 2100 would be the economically optimal outcome
This discrepancy has puzzled observers of the climate debate, led many to question the usefulness of economics to speak to climate policy or call for ignoring it. While any such model analysis should be viewed with a lot of caution, this is unfortunate & unnecessary.
