    Article 6 and the global stocktake (2018)
    Wuppertal : Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-01-31
    Description: Although it is not part of what has been called the "ambition mechanism" or "ratchet mechanism", Article 6 of the Paris Agreement also has an explicit requirement to promote ambition. Article 6 specifically highlights that some Parties choose to pursue voluntary cooperation in the implementation of their nationally determined contributions to allow for higher ambition in their mitigation and adaptation actions. Despite the common purpose, the two elements have to date been discussed mostly in isolation, both in the negotiations as well as in the wider literature. This JIKO Policy Paper sets out to change this by exploring the relationship between Article 6 and the Global Stocktake.

    Additionality après Paris : stronghold for environmental integrity? (2018)
    Wuppertal : Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-04-20
    Description: This policy paper reviews the concept of additionality in the context of the Paris Agreement. Additionality is a key criterion that helps to maintain the environmental integrity of the Paris Agreement, especially when units created under Article 6.2 or 6.4 are used for offsetting purposes whether that is by Parties in order to meet their NDCs or whether by other entities with legal mitigation obligations. It does so by first reviewing key concepts such as offsetting, environmental integrity, and baseline. Subsequently, it explores the context of additionality under the Paris Agreement. More specifically it discusses what should be counted as the baseline for additionality demonstration. The subsequent chapter then highlights the challenges with establishing additionality, that is establishing a causal relationship between a policy intervention and a proposed activity. Finally, the Policy Paper discusses aspects of international governance with respect to additionality.

    Success factors for the global stocktake under the Paris Agreement (2019)
    Wuppertal : Wuppertal Institut für Klima, Umwelt, Energie
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-02-18
    Description: While the Paris Agreement (PA) has enshrined ambitious long-term objectives, the current level of action of the Parties to the Agreement falls far short of this ambition, as is recognised in the very COP decision adopting the Agreement. The Global Stocktake (GST) established in Art. 14 of the PA is a key element to address this problem. Its purpose is to review the implementation of the PA and to assess the progress made towards the collectively agreed goals. The aim of this report is to develop recommendations on how to maximise the potential impact of the GST. The report starts from a perspective of what the GST could ideally do, irrespective of decisions already taken under the UNFCCC and other political constraints. In the second step, the report takes these limitations into account and suggests ways for how to nonetheless work towards the desired outcome.

    Transformative potential of the new market mechanism (2015)
    Wuppertal : Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-02-18
    Description: There is general agreement that preventing dangerous climate change requires a fundamental transformation of the global economy. Regarding carbon markets, the EU, for example, has called for the new market-based mechanism (NMM) to be established under the UNFCCC to "facilitate transition towards low carbon economy and attract further international investment". This JIKO Policy Paper discusses the transformative potential of the NMM and how it should be structured to maximize transformative impact. The analysis shows that details in the arrangements of the scheme, such as allocation of allowances can significantly influence the incentive structure of the instrument and hence its potential to contribute to transformational change. The authors conclude that carbon pricing is necessary but is by itself not sufficient to redeem the various types of market failures that have led to the unsustainable global socio-economic system we are deemed to change. An NMM should therefore be tailored to complement other national policies.

    Identity crisis? : voluntary carbon crediting and the Paris Agreement (2017)
    Wuppertal : Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-02-18
    Description: This Policy Brief outlines the "identity crisis" in which voluntary carbon standards find themselves after the adoption of the Paris Agreement. It describes how the new international legal framework threatens to undermine the legitimation and credibility of voluntary carbon standards and discusses first ideas how the arising challenges could be dealt with.

    The energy transition in Europe : a vision of progress (2019)
    Wuppertal : Wuppertal Institut für Klima, Umwelt, Energie
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-11-10
    Description: Europe needs a new vision of progress. An energy transition has this potential. It can give the "European idea" a future-oriented content. The goal for 2050 is clear: a Europe without fossil and nuclear energy! This is not a utopia. Studies, resolutions of the EU and some member states prove that this vision is feasible and has many advantages: more jobs, more security of supply, fewer premature deaths due to air pollution, reduction of resource conflicts, falling energy costs. New green lead markets for renewable energies and resource efficiency are emerging. A European energy transition requires an alliance, ideally fuelled by neighbours France and Germany. Many are hoping for Germany as a driver of nuclear and coal phase-out. But deciding on "revolutionary goals" is not enough: finally implementing them is what Germany and Europe are waiting for. This report shows which concrete steps can advance this vision of progress.

    Making initiatives resonate : how can non-state initiatives help to increase national contributions under the UNFCCC? (2016)
    Wuppertal : Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-02-18
    Description: The international governance landscape on climate change mitigation is increasingly complex across multiple governance levels. Climate change mitigation initiatives by non-state stakeholders can play an important role in governing global climate change and contribute to avoiding unmanageable climate change. It has been argued that the UNFCCC could and should play a stronger role in "orchestrating" the efforts of these initiatives within the wider climate regime complex and thus inspire new and enhanced climate action. In fact, the Lima-Paris Action Agenda supporting cooperative climate action among state and non-state actors was supposed to be a major outcome of COP21. There is little doubt that successful mitigation initiatives can create a momentum for climate protection. What is missing, is a systematic analysis of how this momentum can feed back into the UNFCCC negotiation process, inspiring also enhanced and more ambitious climate mitigation by states in future iterations of the cycle of nationally determined contributions under the Paris Agreement. This paper aims to close this gap: building on a structurational regime model, the article [1] develops a theory of change of how and through which structuration channels non-state initiatives can contribute to changing the politics of international climate policy; [2] traces existing UNFCCC processes and the Paris Agreement with a view to identifying entry points for a more direct feedback from non-state initiatives; and [3] derives recommendations on how and under which agenda items positive experiences can resonate within the UNFCCC negotiation process.

    Strategische Frühaufklärung : ein ganzheitlicher Ansatz als Leitfaden für Unternehmen (2015)
    München : Oekom-Verl. | Wuppertal : Wuppertal Institut für Klima, Umwelt, Energie
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-02-18
    Description: Unternehmen sind heutzutage mit einer Vielzahl von Herausforderungen und Veränderungen konfrontiert, die zugleich Chance und Risiko für ihre wirtschaftliche Weiterentwicklung darstellen. Dazu gehören nicht nur grundlegende Trends wie Klimawandel, Ressourcenknappheit oder Urbanisierung, sondern auch der Wandel von Technologien, Geschäftsmodellen, gesetzlichen Rahmenbedingungen oder der gesellschaftlichen Akzeptanz. All dies hat globale und nationale Veränderungen in Märkten zur Folge und stellt die darin operierenden Unternehmen vor konkrete Herausforderungen. Die Auseinandersetzung mit der Zukunft gewinnt somit immer mehr an Bedeutung und stellt einen wichtigen Faktor für den langfristigen und nachhaltigen Erfolg eines Unternehmens dar. Die Strategische Frühaufklärung unterstützt Unternehmen dabei, Herausforderungen und Veränderungen rechtzeitig zu identifizieren und darauf zu reagieren. Stefan Reicherz erstellt eine flexible Blaupause hierfür: Individuell an ein Unternehmen angepasst, liefert sie diesem die notwendigen Informationen und Hilfsmittel, um erfolgreiche Strategische Frühaufklärung durchzuführen - und damit aus Risiken Chancen werden zu lassen.

    Kommunale Unterstützung transformativer Nachhaltigkeitsinitiativen im Rahmen der Wirtschaftsförderung 4.0 : eine Bedarfsanalyse am Beispiel von Initiativen in der Stadt Osnabrück (2019)
    Wuppertal : Wuppertal Institut für Klima, Umwelt, Energie
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-11-10
    Description: Im Rahmen des Forschungsprojekts "Wirtschaftsförderung 4.0" leistet die vorliegende Arbeit einen Beitrag zum besseren Verständnis der systematischen Stärkung zivilgesellschaftlicher Nachhaltigkeitsinitiativen. Das Ziel der Analyse besteht darin, Ansatzpunkte möglicher Unterstützungsmaßnahmen aufzuzeigen, die im Zuge kommunaler Wirtschaftsförderung aufgegriffen werden können. Zur Erarbeitung wurden zunächst mithilfe theoretischer Grundlagen aus der Transition- und Diffusionsforschung zentrale Einflussfaktoren zusammengetragen, die förderlich oder hemmend auf transformative Nachhaltigkeitsinitiativen wirken können. Mit dem Ziel, kontextangepasste Maßnahmen zu entwickeln, wurden die literaturbasierten Faktoren anschließend in einer qualitativen Befragung mit einer Praxisperspektive verglichen und ergänzt: Mittels leitfadengestützter Experteninterviews mit nachhaltigkeitsorientierten Initiativen in der Region Osnabrück wurden kommunale Gegebenheiten sowie die jeweiligen Erfolgsfaktoren, Herausforderungen und Bedarfe der Graswurzelinitiativen erfasst. Im Ergebnis zeigen sich sieben übergreifende Bedarfsfelder, die vor allem aus der empirischen Erhebung abgeleitet wurden. Aus ihnen wurden Handlungsempfehlungen und Ansatzpunkte kommunaler Unterstützung erarbeitet und diskutiert.
