German Railway begins construction of overhead wire islands.

➡️ The electrification of railway lines is complex and expensive. Deutsche Bahn is therefore starting to equip only shorter sections with overhead wires. In this case the railway lines are not fully equipped with overhead wires, but only partially.

Battery trains are then used on the routes, which can charge their batteries on the electrified parts of the route and use the stored energy to go on sections without overhead wires.

This @nytimes feature gained a lot of attention. It’s principal assessment is spot on: We are making progress towards climate action, but will likely fail 1.5C. I believe it also offers a good account of the messy nature of international politics 🧵nytimes.com/interactive/20… The climate issue is inherently complex, touching basically every field of policy making and transcending government tiers and borders. The discussion on climate is made in many arenas and it’s only logical that we see progress in some, yet regression in others.

This small hospital 🏥 in Bangladesh 🇧🇩 has just been named best new building in the world @RIBA.

🤔 WHY?! ➡️ it’s a lesson in climate resilient architecture.

Here is what architects and builders worldwide can learn from this building 👇🧵 “Rising sea levels caused by the climate crisis have meant that the surrounding landscape of grain fields has been transformed into shrimp fisheries, while the groundwater has become too saline to use for most purposes.”

Why parking is even worse than you thought.

Cities around the world are abolishing parking requirements🚗🅿️.

Toronto 🇨🇦 is just the latest.

But why?!👇

Parking requirements - a thread🧵 Firstly, parking requirements are random. They are neither based in research, nor data. Parking minimums are random government mandates to allocate a proportion of space on privately owned land for cars - no matter if necessary or not.

The transport sector accounts for 24% of global energy related CO2 emissions and is the fastest growing emission source. Yet, a clear-cut transformation path is missing. To close this gap @TUMInitiative and @UTSEngage developed a robust scenario: the #TUMIOutlook 1.5˚C. ➡️🧵1/9 Image Only urgent climate action today will limit global warming: We have 99 months from 2021 to 2030 to take significant action. The TUMI Transport Outlook 1.5˚C provides concrete pathways of action towards a transport sector in line with the Paris Agreement.
