Studies show that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) has already weakened as a result of anthropogenic climate change and is possible moving towards a tipping point. 👉New overview article by PIK scientist Prof. Stefan Rahmstorf 🌏 🦣 : pik-potsdam.de/en/news/latest…

The global adoption of diet low in meat would aid health, land & food systems as well as reducing emissions, shows new PIK study with Florian Humpenöder.
The study illustrates how dietary shifts would contribute towards the feasibility of 1.5°C 👉theguardian.com/environment/20…

See our new paper in Nature Reviews Earth & Environment 🌈 on 2023s record breaking heat extremes led by Prof. Sarah Perkins-Kirkpatrick .

Heatwaves increasingly occur outside of the warm season, happen simultaneous in multiple regions and affect the same region several times in a year.

Important new PIK study. A shift in our diets could make a considerable difference if we do not want to crash through the 1.5°C limit in the next 10 - 15 years. This calls for globally concerted efforts to support the transition towards sustainable healthy diets.

The cost of food could increase by as much as 1.5% to 1.8% annually by 2035. Those numbers are likely to increase as climate change worsens. Inflation pressure from #climatechange is likely to be higher in the global south, according to a study by PIK's Maximilian Kotz & European Central Bank. 👇

The news is out🗞️

In 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣3️⃣, there was a 15.5% decrease in #EUETS emissions compared to 2022 levels.

The record reduction is largely due to the increase of 🇪🇺 renewable energy production at the expense of both coal and gas.

'A shift toward healthy diets would not only benefit the people, the land and food systems - but would also have an impact on the total economy in terms of how fast emissions need to be reduced,' says PIK scientist Florian Humpenöder The Guardian : theguardian.com/environment/20…

'If we phase out #fossilfuels by 2050 & stop destroying nature, it will still get worse before it gets better. We are in the pipeline of #globalwarming . It’s inevitable that we will crash through 1.5 °C, probably within 10-15 years.' PIKs Johan Rockström

Food matters: A global shift to a healthier, more sustainable diet could be a huge lever to limit global warming to 1.5°C, PIK researchers find. Results of the new study Science Advances indicate that a shift in diets could make a considerable difference: pik-potsdam.de/en/news/latest…
