Kiel Policy Brief No. 143: Recent studies have shown that electric cars have lower greenhouse gas emissions than conventional internal combustion engine automobiles already with the current German electricity mix.

Climate engineering (CE) and carbon capture and storage are controversial options for addressing climate change. This study compares public perception in Germany of three specific measures: solar radiation management (SRM) via stratospheric sulphate...

This fifth issue of the Global Solutions Journal, has been launched on the occasion of the digital Global Solutions Summit 2020, supporting the G20 Presidency of Saudi-Arabia.

Discourse analyses and expert interviews about climate engineering (CE) report high levels of reflectivity about the technologies’ risks and challenge

With this first issue of a new journal, the Global Solutions Initiative presents what it hopes will become a public arena for exchanging views on how to tackle the problems that cross national, social and political boundaries.

Irrigation expansion is critical to increase crop yields and mitigate effects from climate change in Sub-Saharan Africa, but the low profitability has led to little irrigation investments in the region so far. Using an integrated modeling framework,...

In this paper, we analyze how much the shipping sector could contribute to global CO2 emission reductions from an efficiency point of view. To do this, a marginal abatement cost curve (MACC) for the shipping sector is generated that can be combined...

In this study, we augment the traditional travel cost approach with contingent behavior data for coastal recreation. The objective is to analyze the wel

PerCCSeptions explores public perceptions in Norway and Germany of storing CO2 from European sources in the North Sea. It is presumed that offshore storage will increase the public acceptance of CCS projects, but there exists to date little research...

Injecting sulfate aerosols into the stratosphere could quickly offset global warming caused by anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Because the technology would have global side effects, it raises not only technological but also political,...
