Non-permanent carbon removals #CDR, like afforestation, cannot compensate for emissions as permanent ones can. This should be reflected in #CarbonPricing. PIK study in Environmental and Resource Economics provides guidance, calculates the price difference. pik-potsdam.de/en/news/latest…

"Depending on how the additional tax revenues were redistributed, such a change could cost households as little as €26 a year, while cutting ecological destruction by between 3% and 6%" - new paper led by PIK researcher Charlotte Plinke in the @guardian. theguardian.com/environment/20…

#Bolivia: Climate change & soil salinity threaten livelihoods & cultural survival of Indigenous communities. PIKs M. Rahman: “This parallels rice crop losses in Asian mega-deltas, where high salinity in soil & water undermine agricultural productivity.” theguardian.com/global-develop…


“This is not the time for resignation; it’s a time of heightened urgency.” In a blog post ahead of @wef annual meeting #WEF26, PIK Director @jrockstrom and @CnobreRes (@usponline) highlight the importance of the 1.5C limit, naming four deciding factors. weforum.org/stories/2026/0…

“We are at the beginning of the end of the fossil fuel economy. The US is betting on the wrong horse.” PIK Director @jrockstrom spoke to @nytimes about how the clean energy transition is gathering speed despite the actions of the Trump administration. nytimes.com/2026/01/12/cli…


Europe’s forests are weakening under heat, drought & pests, yet climate targets rely on them. This is dangerous says PIKs @jrockstrom because "countries can use their carbon sink from forests to say they're net zero without fully phasing out fossil fuels.” theguardian.com/environment/20…

For some climate impacts, devastation can be followed by the painstaking work of recovery. But many natural systems, like our tropical coral reefs, face permanent decline. Our chance to save them is to act now. Op-ed PIK Director @jrockstrom @WIRED (€). wired.com/story/the-eart…
