Die Zukunft des European Green Deal ‐ vier Weichenstellungen
Le rôle de l’Office fédéral allemand de l’environnement et les conditions d’une politique ambitieuse du climat
Defining a sustainable development target space for 2030 and 2050
With the establishment of the sustainable development goals (SDGs), countries worldwide agreed to a prosperous, socially inclusive, and environmentally sustainable future for all. This ambition, however, exposes a critical gap in science-based insights, namely on how to achieve the 17 SDGs simultaneously. Quantitative goal-seeking scenario studies could help explore the needed systems' transformations. This requires a clear definition of the "tar…
Solar geoengineering
Solar geoengineering is gaining prominence in climate change debates as an issue worth studying; for some it is even a potential future policy option. We argue here against this increasing normalization of solar geoengineering as a speculative part of the climate policy portfolio. We contend, in particular, that solar geoengineering at planetary scale is not governable in a globally inclusive and just manner within the current international polit…
All options, not silver bullets, needed to limit global warming to 1.5 °C
Climate science provides strong evidence of the necessity of limiting global warming to 1.5 °C, in line with the Paris Climate Agreement. The IPCC 1.5 °C special report (SR1.5) presents 414 emissions scenarios modelled for the report, of which around 50 are classified as ‘1.5 °C scenarios’, with no or low temperature overshoot. These emission scenarios differ in their reliance on individual mitigation levers, including reduction of global energy …
Redefining and Renewing Humanism in the Digital Age [Opinion]
The convergence of artificial intelligence (AI), big data analytics, and machine learning has rapidly produced some remarkable technologies: voice, face, and odor recognition technologies for precise personal identification; statistical algorithms predicting human behavior and preferences; camera and sensor networks tracking, monitoring, and analyzing human activities; and bots of sufficient sophistication to masquerade as human actors in 280 cha…
Six Transformations to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals
The G20
The Group of Twenty (G20) has been evolving as a widely recognized, yet controversial, power center of the global economy. While this self-selected club has performed important functions for member states and the world at large, criticism persists with regard to its effectiveness and legitimacy. The G20 still struggles with the critical challenge of how to balance the legitimate pursuit of national interests with a genuine commitment to the globa…

About Ship! Why We Need a “Great Transformation” Klar zur Wende! Warum eine ,,Große Transformation“ notwendig ist
Unsere kohlenstoffbasierten Energiesysteme und Produktionsprozesse müssen schnell umgestaltet werden, um den Klimawandel abzuwenden. Je länger Entscheidungen hinausgezögert werden, desto teurer werden Klimaschutzmaßnahmen und desto größer wird auch das Ausmaß der Schäden. Doch die Transformation zu einer klimaverträglichen Weltgesellschaft ist notwendig – und machbar. Ein neuer Gesellschaftsvertrag zwischen Staat und Bürgerschaft könnte helfen, e…

Introduction
Global Governance and Developing Countries
China and India as Emerging Global Governance Actors
Europe's New Security Strategy
Europe’s response to world politics
Systemic competitiveness
This article analyses the concept of systemic competitiveness by examining its determining factors and the way in which they interrelate. The author puts forward the view that industrial competitiveness is the product of the complex and dynamic interaction between four social and economic levels in a national system, namely: the micro level, consisting of enterprises, many of them interlinked in mutual assistance networks, which aim to achieve si…
Systemic Competitiveness
Shaping competitiveness in the Chilean wood-processing industry
The neoliberal view is that outward orientation and general liberalization should result in efficient factor allocation and thus in the formation of competitive economic structures. Its policy recommendations are therefore generally in the “get prices right” mould
