Aktuelles |

Christian Stoll and Michael Mehling's paper on "COVID-19: Clinching the Climate Opportunity" has been accepted by One Earth (Cell)

We congratulate Christian Stoll and Michael Mehling to their accepted paper, showing the emission mitigation potential of behavioural change:

The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered the largest drop in greenhouse gas emissions since World War II. Evolving mobility patterns, in particular, have shown the short-term mitigation potential of behavior change. Sustaining such changes could abate 15% of all transportation emissions with limited net impacts on societal wellbeing.
