Two ERC Synergy Grants for PIK! 👏 Congrats to @jrockstrom & Franziska Piontek, who have secured @ERC_Research funding as part of two international teams researching societal transformation & the interactions between climate action & inequality. #ERCSyG

Ocean heat uptake, accelerating sea-level rise, continental drying, and more: at #COP31, PIK Director @jrockstrom has just been speaking on the “10 new insights in #ClimateChange” report co-authored by PIK (see our former news item here: pik-potsdam.de/en/news/lates…).
"1.5°C is a limit above which we enter danger." @jrockstrom addresses the high-level meeting meeting on the United Nations Global Compact's Caring for Climate initiative at #COP31 to advance credible climate implementation.

So wichtig ist die knappe Ressource Land beim Klimaschutz. Zu unserer heute veröffentlichten Studie und Pressemitteilung (pik-potsdam.de/de/aktuelles/…) gibt es auch ein interessantes Kurzinterview des Leitautors Leon Merfort im Deutschlandfunk.

“One message we have for the #COP31 is that our only chance to minimize overshoot and avoid a disastrous, unmanageable outcome, is to start reducing global emissions by 6% per year from this year onwards,” says PIK's @jrockstrom on CNN’s Amanpour: edition.cnn.com/2026/11/10/t…
Out now!
PIK study explores interrelationships, competing objectives of 2 major areas of #ClimatePolicy:
➡️fossil fuel phase-out and
➡️measures taken on natural land.
It demonstrates how a well-balanced policy mix can keep costs low for people & nature.

On my way to Antalya for COP31 today. Looking forward to convening this event with a great lineup of speakers next Monday.

#Klima und #Wirtschaft: Im zweiteiligen Podcast @Fidelity erklärt PIK-Klimaökonom @mkalkuhl, welche wirtschaftlichen & sicherheitspolitischen Folgen Öl- und Gasimporte haben, wie der #Tankrabatt schadet und wie #CO2Bepreisung und #Elektrifizierung helfen.

Some thoughts of mine as COP31 kicks off this week in Antalya.

"Are climate talks delivering enough" asks the Guardian as #Cop31 is under way. According to PIK Director @jrockstrom progress has been too slow. Yet the Paris Agreement remains essential; tackling the climate crisis requires countries to act together. theguardian.com/environment/…
Options for action in the fight against the #ClimateCrisis.
Co-edit by PIK and aimed at a broader public: the new #ClimateFactsPaper. Published just in time for #COP31 by the German Climate Consortium (DKK) & Klimafakten.

As #COP31 opens in Antalya, PIK Director Johan Rockström tells AP: “We have failed so far” on limiting warming. More extreme weather and the crossing of tipping points, such as Amazon rainforest collapse, could be among the consequences.

Ottmar Edenhofer explains: As humanity is headed for overshoot, carbon dioxide removal technologies are becoming necessary tools alongside hard emission cuts to achieve #NetZero.
Overshooting without a plan to return below 1.5°C would be ethically and economically indefensible.
NEW: PIK study finds a self-reinforcing interaction between temperature, soil moisture, and atmospheric pressure triggered at high temperatures is making extreme heatwaves 10% hotter than they would otherwise be.

Even a temporary rise above 1.5°C can leave lasting damage to Earth’s ice: UNEP–ICCI report shows how cutting emissions & bringing temperatures back down can limit ice loss & slow sea-level rise. Some impacts still can't be reversed on human timescales.

The TRANSIENCE project wants to hear from policymakers, industry representatives, researchers and intermediaries working on climate, energy and industry on how modelling results should reach them.
