Stabilizing climate change entails reducing net emissions of carbon dioxide to zero. The new World Bank report “Decarbonizing Development: Three Steps to a Zero-Carbon Future” outlines three principles to guide countries in their efforts to create a zero-carbon future:
(a) planning ahead with an eye on the end goal
(b) going beyond carbon pricing with a policy package that triggers changes in investment patterns, technology, and behaviours
(c) protecting poor people and avoiding concentrated losses.
To prevent global temperatures from rising more than 2 degrees Celsius will require a transformation of our socio-economic development pathways and demands planning for a zero-carbon-future. This new Report on decarbonization underlines: The solutions exist, and they are affordable – if governments take action today.

This lecture is part of the “Klimalog”.

In the context of “Klimalog,” DIE conducts research on policies towards a decarbonisation of the global economy and towards increasing the climate resilience of societies for a climate-smart and just transformation.
