    This paper examines the individual preferences for a reduction of life-cycle CO2 emissions in vehicle purchase decisions. The empirical analysis is based on data from a stated choice experiment with more than 1,100 citizens in Germany that refers to decisions between three types of electric vehicles and a conventional (i.e. gasoline or diesel) vehicle that are characterized by several attributes like purchase price or fuel costs. With respect to CO2 emissions, we specifically examine emissions in vehicle production besides the commonly considered emissions in vehicle use. Our econometric analysis with flexible mixed logit models reveals a strong stated preference for the reduction of CO2 emissions in both vehicle use and production, whereby the estimated willingness to pay for CO2 emission reductions is higher for vehicle production. Furthermore, we find that conventional vehicles are significantly preferred over plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and particularly strongly significantly preferred over extended-range and pure electric vehicles. Surprisingly, environmental attitudes, i.e. environmental awareness and ecological policy identification, have no significant effects on the reduction of CO2 emissions in both vehicle use and production. These results suggest that citizens in Germany with strong environmental identity do not consider reductions of CO2 emissions in vehicle purchase decisions as an important direction for climate protection. Instead, this group rather tends to avoid the purchase of conventional vehicles since environmental attitudes have a significantly positive effect on the stated choice of electric vehicles, whereby this estimated effect is dominated by an ecological policy orientation instead of general environmental awareness. The latter result suggests the strong relevance of the controversial political discussion about the transition to electromobility in Germany. By considering economic preferences, the econometric analysis additionally reveals that individual trust is relevant for the purchase of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.

    The traditional image of Latin America as a troubled region seems to continue even after the Covid-19 crisis, this time in the wake of the war in Ukraine and the sanctions imposed by the West. Inflationary pressures, budget deficits and the danger that broad sections of the population will slip into poverty are fuelling negative scenarios. There are initial indications that some countries are already experiencing payment difficulties. Demands from Latin American governments for debt relief or the renego­tiation of foreign debt are being put on the agenda as part of a reorientation of the development model towards sustainability and climate protection criteria. This re­quires a far-reaching structural change, away from the traditional commodity-based economies and towards an environmentally and socially compatible development path. Germany and Europe must also shift course by contributing to the conservation of natural resources and not just to their exploitation.

    Climate policy in the European Union (EU) and Germany changed significantly with the adoption of net-zero emissions targets. A key new development is the growing importance of carbon management. The umbrella term includes not only the capture and storage of CO2 (carbon capture and storage, CCS), but also CO2 capture and utilisation (carbon capture and utilisation, CCU) as well as the removal of CO2 from the atmosphere (carbon dioxide removal, CDR). It is important to provide clarity when differentiating between these approaches and identifying their relation to so-called residual emissions and hard-to-abate emissions. This is particularly important because it will determine the overall ambition of climate policy as well as shape future policy designs and their distributional impacts. Current policy and legislative processes should ensure that carbon management does not delay the phase-out of fossil fuels. New policy initiatives present an opportunity to actively shape the interface between ambitious climate and industrial policy.

    In November 2018, the European Commission published its Strategic Long-Term Vision entitled “A Clean Planet for all” calling for the target of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. This proposal was subsequently agreed upon by EU heads of state and government, it features centrally in the European Green Deal and has now been made a legally binding objective in the EU Climate Law. The Strategic Long-Term Vision was supported by a detailed In-depth Analysis. The central objective of the work presented in this report was to assess the European Commission's Strategic Long-Term Vision and supplementary materials and reflect on them in light of state-of-the-art sector analyses. The report is a summary of a series of publications. These publications provide insights on the In-depth Analysis along with an assessment of the role of the Strategic Vision and how it can be turned into an effective long-term strategy for the EU. In addition, sector analyses for the transport sector, the industry sector and the buildings sector provide insights on the action needed to reach long-term decarbonisation in those sectors. An assessment of the inception impact assessment to the Effort Sharing Regulation shed light on different options for a meaningful combination of CO2 pricing (emissions trading) and regulation under the Effort Sharing Regulation. Lastly, a stocktake on the overall landscape of EU climate governance as of autumn of 2021 identified remaining weaknesses and recommends ways to strengthen the existing processes to ensure that they can get the EU on a path towards climate neutrality. A central recommendation is the call for an update to the EU long-term strategy as a central hub to provide oversight and guidance for sectoral and horizontal strategies as well as the next policy package (beyond 2030) that is due in 2024. Im November 2018 veröffentlichte die Europäische Kommission ihre Strategische LangzeitVision „Ein sauberer Planet für alle“, welche Netto-Null-Treibhausgasemissionen als Ziel für die EU im Jahr 2050 vorschlug. Dieses Ziel wurde ein Jahr später von den EU-Staats- und Regierungschefs angenommen. Es ist auch eine zentrale Zielgröße im European Green Deal und durch das EU-Klimaschutzgesetz wurde es rechtlich verbindlich. Die Strategische LangzeitVision von 2018 wurde von einer detaillierten Folgenabschätzung begleitet. Das Hauptziel der in diesem Bericht vorgestellten Arbeit bestand darin, die Strategische Langzeitvision der Europäischen Kommission und die ergänzenden Materialien zu bewerten und sie im Lichte der neuesten Sektoranalysen zu reflektieren. Der Bericht ist eine Zusammenfassung einer Serie von Publikationen. Diese Publikationen geben Einblicke in die Folgenabschätzung sowie eine Einschätzung der Rolle der Strategischen Vision und wie sie zu einer effektiven Langzeitstrategie für die EU entwickelt werden kann. Darüber hinaus geben Sektoranalysen für den Verkehrs-, Industrie- und Gebäudesektor Aufschluss darüber, welche Maßnahmen erforderlich sind, um eine langfristige Dekarbonisierung in diesen Sektoren zu erreichen. Eine Analyse der ersten Folgenabschätzung zur Effort-SharingVerordnung beleuchtet die verschiedenen Optionen für eine sinnvolle Kombination aus CO2-Bepreisung (Emissionshandel) und Regulierung im Rahmen der Effort-Sharing-Verordnung. Schließlich wurden in einer Bestandsaufnahme des Gesamtbilds der EU-Klimagovernance im Herbst 2021 verbleibende Schwachstellen ermittelt und Wege zur Stärkung der bestehenden Prozesse empfohlen, um sicherzustellen, dass sie die EU auf den Weg zur Klimaneutralität bringen können. Eine zentrale Empfehlung ist die Forderung nach einer Aktualisierung der EULangzeitstrategie als zentraler Drehscheibe, um Übersicht und Orientierung für sektorale und horizontale Strategien sowie für das nächste Politikpaket (nach 2030), das 2024 ansteht, zu bieten.

    Climate protection scenarios are a key part of long-term climate policy planning, which has been given a further boost by the Paris Agreement. The modelling performed in such scenarios informs the development of 2050 national climate strategies—which themselves serve as roadmaps for the decarbonisation of the economy. By early 2020, all EU Member States were called to deliver some form of a national climate strategy for 2050, but these will likely vary substantially in ambition, scope and content, in large part also due to the different content inputs provided by respective national policy scenarios and emission pathways modelling. This document outlines a catalogue of criteria for the comparative and normative evaluation of longterm climate protection scenarios, both in Europe and internationally. Mit dem Übereinkommen von Paris ist das Thema langfristige, strategische Planung für die Erreichung transformativer Klimaschutzziele in den Fokus gerückt. Klimaschutzszenarien spielen eine entscheidende Rolle in der langfristigen Klimaschutzplanung. Die Modellierung— die in solchen Szenarien durchgeführt wird—informiert die Entwicklung von 2050 Klimaschutzstrategien, die der Politik als Richtschnur für die Entwicklung hin zu einer klimaneutralen Gesellschaft dienen können. Alle EU Mitgliedstaaten waren aufgefordert, bis Anfang 2020 solche nationale Klimaschutzstrategien vorlegen. Aufgrund von inhaltlichen und methodischen Unterschieden der entsprechenden Klimaschutzszenarien und deren zugrundeliegenden Modellierungen, unterscheiden sich diese Strategien wesentlich in Hinsicht auf Ambition, Umfang und Inhalt. Um dieser Vielfalt Struktur zu geben, beschreibt dieser Bericht einen Kriterienkatalog für die vergleichende und normative Auswertung langfristiger Klimaschutzszenarien, so wohl in Europa als auch weltweit.

    In der deutschen und europäischen Klimapolitik hat der Humusaufbau und -erhalt in den letzten Jahren immer mehr an Bedeutung gewonnen. In diesem Kontext sollen in dem HumusKlimaNetz Maßnahmen zum Humusaufbau in der Praxis erprobt werden. Um den beteiligten Betrieben mögliche Maßnahmen zur Umsetzung anbieten zu können, ist es entscheidend zu bewerten, welche Maßnahmen wie stark zum Humuserhalt und -aufbau beitragen können und welche sonstigen ackerbaulichen Effekte bzw. Umweltwirkungen die Maßnahmen mit sich bringen. Für den ggf. erforderlichen Kompensationsbedarf ist es notwendig, die Kosten die mit der Umsetzung der Maßnahmen verbunden sind, zu kennen. In diesem Bericht werden die wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse zu den genannten Fragen zusammengetragen und auf Basis der Ertragsstatistik regionsspezifische Pauschalen für eine Kompensation von Maßnahmen entwickelt. Somit ist der Projektbericht eine wissenschaftliche Arbeitsgrundlage für die Förderung von Humusmaßnahmen im Rahmen des Modell- und Demonstrationsvorhabens „HumusKlimaNetz“. In recent years, soil organic carbon sequestration and conservation has become increasingly important in German and European climate politics. In this context, measures to build up humus are to be tested in practice in the HumusKlimaNetz. In order to be able to offer the participating farms possible measures for implementation, it is crucial to evaluate which measures can contribute to humus sequestration and conservation, and which other agronomic and environmental impacts might occur. Moreover, it is necessary to know the costs incurred in implementing the measures in order to determine any compensation requirements. In this report, the scientific findings on the above-mentioned questions are compiled and regional specific flat rates for compensation of measures are developed on the basis of yield statistics. Thus, the project report is a scientific working basis for the promotion of humus measures within the framework of the model and demonstration project "HumusKlimaNetz".
