High-risk geoengineering technologies won’t reverse climate breakdown Published: 21 March 2022 Commentary Techno fixes like carbon dioxide removal and solar radiation management are no substitute for exiting coal, oil and gas – whatever polluters would like you to think. By Linda Schneider
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) - 6th Assessment Report Published: 21 March 2022 Dossier We are following the negotiations on the IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report with a critical eye, particularly on the issues of net zero, overshoot of 1.5°C, and high-risk geoengineering technologies such as solar geoengineering (SRM) and technological Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR).
The IPCC Special Report on Land: We have to act now Published: 9 August 2019 Analysis On August 8th 2019, the International Panel on Climate Change released its special report on climate change and land. Environmental expert Peg Putt provides an analysis of the report's findings. By Peg Putt
Frequently Asked Questions on 1.5°C and Geoengineering Published: 15 March 2019 What's the difference between 1.5°C and 2°C? What are "negative emissions"? What's the problem with geoengineering? Why and how is the Heinrich Böll Foundation working on the topic of geoengineering and the 1.5°C limit? Answers to the most frequently asked questions about the 1,5°C target and the topic of geoengineering.
IPCC Special Report on 1.5: Limiting global warming without temperature "overshoot" Published: 10 October 2018 Analysis The IPCC Special Report on 1.5 opts for a rigorous interpretation of the 1.5 limit on global warming. It has good reasons to do so: "Overshooting" that target risks irreversible impacts and damage for societies and ecosystems, and increases reliance on unproven, high-risk geoengineering technologies. By Linda Schneider
Introduction: Radical Realism Published: 18 September 2018 This dossier aims to give a broad overview of exciting new and old pathways towards a climate-just 1.5°C world. Pathways that are grounded in radical, social and environmental justice-based agendas for political change.
The Myth of Net-Zero Emissions Published: 10 December 2014 Lili Fuhr and Niclas Hällström sharply criticize climate-change goals that are based on risky or underdeveloped technologies. By Lili Fuhr and Niclas Hällström
