    The signatories of the Paris Agreement are required to submit new nationally determined contributions (NDCs) by 10 February 2025, laying out targets for 2035. These third generation NDCs - "NDCs 3.0" - are supposed to serve as comprehensive investment and transformation plans and incorporate the findings of the Global Stocktake (GST). The GST was agreed at COP 28 in Dubai to keep the 1.5 degree target within reach. However, hardened fronts between developing and developed countries obstruct the establishment of a progressive coalition to develop ambitious NDCs. Germany and the European Union could inject new life into the NDC 3.0 process by stepping up technical support, promoting diplomatic initiatives and embracing Brazil as a key actor

    All countries in Sub-Saharan Africa have submitted Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) as part of their respective commitments to climate action, and they will start to share updated versions of their NDCs in 2025. While various analyses have documented and analysed the significant differences in countries' NDCs, there has only been a limited focus on this aspect of African countries' NDCs or on the role NDCs play in these countries. This paper addresses this issue by exploring common trends and differences in the NDCs of countries in SubSaharan Africa and discusses some potential explanations. The paper argues that the contents of these NDCs are not only influenced by climate-change considerations but also by a complex set of national and international factors. A better understanding of the differences between them in Sub-Saharan Africa is needed, including the extent to which the NDCs constitute commitment or negotiation positions of the countries.

    This study examines how the occurrence of natural disasters in the U.S. influences investor interest in green assets and actual investments, focusing on inflows into green ETFs as a proxy for non-fundamental demand. Event study analyses demonstrate both increases in investor interest in eco-friendly investments (proxied by Google searches) and inflows into green ETFs following disasters, driven by the period following the 2015 Paris Agreement. The additional inflows average about $4.3 million in the week directly following disasters, compared to average inflows of around $1.1 million in the non-disaster reference window. Importantly, both effects disappear when other attention-grabbing events, such as terrorist attacks or mass shootings, occur simultaneously with disasters. Analysis of climate change coverage across U.S. media suggests that media attention devoted to climate change concerns drives the documented shifts in investor behavior towards green investments. Furthermore, analysis of flows in brown ETFs (e.g., the oil and gas sector) reveals analogous disinvestments in the wake of disasters, but notably, only in the absence of concurrent distracting events.

  4. Financing the transition?
    taking the temperature of European banks' corporate loan books a pilot study on banks' alignment with the temperature target of the Paris Agreement

    The Paris Agreement requires policy makers to keep the increase in global average temperature well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, while pursuing efforts to limit the increase to 1.5°C. Furthermore, it demands finance flows to be consistent with pathways towards low greenhouse gas emission technologies. While prudential supervisory authorities so far primarily focussed on assessing banks' resilience to climate-related financial shocks from a risk-oriented viewpoint, e.g. based on dedicated climate stress tests, we argue in this paper for a complementary perspective beyond prudential supervision, namely banks' own contribution to global warming through their financing of climateharmful activities. This perspective becomes especially relevant considering the prospective reporting on double materiality according to the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). With the objective of the Paris Agreement being defined in terms of degrees Celsius, we examine banks' alignment with the temperature target by quantifying the implied temperature rise of banks' (non-SME) corporate loan books. To that end, we propose an innovative alignment methodology, leveraging on the so-called X-Degree Compatibility (XDC) Model developed by right°, which we apply on granular exposure-level information collected from selected EU banks. According to our findings, the average implied temperature rise of banks' (non-SME) corporate loan portfolios ranges between 3.7°C and 4.1°C, depending on the aggregation methodology. While we observe some heterogeneity across banks, none of them is on a pathway compatible with the agreed target. Additionally, we show that the implied temperature rise as per our methodology can also serve as proxy for transition risk, thereby combining the twofold objective from a double materiality perspective in a single metric.

  5. Towards a geopolitics of carbon capture & storage (CCS) in Asia
    transregional links and implications for Germany and Europe

    The competition for carbon capture, storage, and utilisation is intensifying. Historically dominated by North America, the lead in this technology is now being seized by key players across Asia - reaching from Saudi Arabia to Japan. Unlike traditional energy (transition) geopolitics, this new arena prioritises technology, geology, and industrial leadership over raw materials. For Germany and Europe, the developments imply a need for more pragmatism in climate diplomacy and policy instruments. Moreover, to keep pace with competitors, policymakers should adopt a proactive approach to CCS vis-à-vis technology and industry.

  6. The resilience of the Biden administration's climate policy

    The United States will play a crucial role in global climate protection in what has been called the "super election year" of 2024. After three-and-a-half years of having scored huge successes in climate protection, President Joe Biden could be succeeded by Donald Trump in January 2025, according to opinion polls. Trump used his first Presi­dency (2017-2021) to largely reverse the climate protection measures of the previous administration; and he intends to take the same approach if he wins in November. Conservative think tanks have provided him with a detailed blueprint for doing so with the "Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise". Trump's return to the White House would deal a fatal blow to climate protection. Many of the Biden administration's climate policy measures could be scrapped by a second Trump administration. While the future of US climate policy depends largely on the results of the elections to the White House and Congress, an important factor will also be the progress that has been made in the individual US states.
