Renewable Energy Sources and Climate Change Mitigation
Special Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

This Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Special Report (IPCC-SRREN) assesses the potential role of renewable energy in the mitigation of climate change. It covers the six most important renewable energy sources - bioenergy, solar, geothermal, hydropower, ocean and wind energy - as well as their integration into present and future energy systems. It considers the environmental and social consequences associated with the deployment of these technologies and presents strategies to overcome technical as well as non-technical obstacles to their application and diffusion. SRREN brings a broad spectrum of technology-specific experts together with scientists studying energy systems as a whole. Prepared following strict IPCC procedures, it presents an impartial assessment of the current state of knowledge: it is policy relevant but not policy prescriptive. SRREN is an invaluable assessment of the potential role of renewable energy for the mitigation of climate change for policymakers, the private sector and academic researchers.

China faces many modernization challenges, but perhaps none is more pressing than that posed by climate change. China must find a new economic growth model that is simultaneously environmentally sustainable, can free it from its dependency on fossil fuels, and lift living standards for the majority of its population. But what does such a model look like? And how can China best make the transition from its present macro-economic structure to a low-carbon future? This ground-breaking economic study, led by the Stockholm Environment Institute and the Chinese Economists 50 Forum, brings together leading international thinkers in economics, climate change, and development, to tackle some of the most challenging issues relating to China's low-carbon development. This study maps out a deep carbon reduction scenario and analyzes economic policies that shift carbon use, and shows how China can take strong and decisive action to make deep reductions in carbon emission over the next forty years while maintaining high economic growth and minimizing adverse effects of a low-carbon transition. Moreover, these reductions can be achieved within the finite global carbon budget for greenhouse gas emissions, as determined by the hard constraints of climate science. The authors make the compelling case that a transition to a low-carbon economy is an essential part of China's development and modernization. Such a transformation would also present opportunities for China to improve its energy security and move its economy higher up the international value chain. They argue that even in these difficult economic times, climate change action may present more opportunities than costs. Such a transformation, for China and the rest of the world, will not be easy. But it is possible, necessary and worthwhile to pursue.

Der Ausstoß von Treibhausgasen muss drastisch sinken, um die Folgen des Klimawandels einzudämmen. Die Klimapolitik steht dabei vor der Frage, mit welchen Politikinstrumenten dieses Ziel am besten erreicht werden kann. Dieses Open-Access-Buch bietet eine tiefgehende Analyse der CO₂-Bepreisung als zentrales Instrument moderner Klimapolitik und zeigt auf, wie Missverständnisse und Vorurteile überwunden werden können, um eine faktenbasierte Diskussion zu fördern.Im Mittelpunkt stehen fünf weit verbreitete Irrtümer über den CO₂-Preis, die systematisch widerlegt werden. Kapitel wie „Warum sollte CO₂ einen Preis erhalten?“ und „Wie wird ein Preis auf CO₂ gesellschaftlich tragfähig?“ führen durch die komplexen ökonomischen und politischen Dimensionen der CO₂-Bepreisung. Das Buch zeigt, warum der CO₂-Preis notwendig ist, worauf es für eine sozial gerechte und erfolgreiche Umsetzung ankommt und wie die Bepreisung von Emissionen bei der Bewältigung zukünftiger Herausforderungen helfen kann.

Analysing and synthesising vast data sets from a multitude of disciplines including climate science, economics, hydrology and agricultural research, this volume seeks new methods of combining climate change mitigation, adaptation, development, and poverty reduction in ways that are effective, efficient and equitable. A guiding principle of the project is that new alliances of state and non-state sector partners are urgently required to establish cooperative responses to the threats posed by climate change. This volume offers a vital policy framework for linking our response to this change with progressive principles of global justice and sustainable development.
