🌍How does international law shape climate action?

Over the past three months, Maximilian Häntzschel explored this first-hand during his traineeship at Ecologic Institute.

Take a look at his story – told in his own (German) words – in the slideshow below.

It’s been a pleasure having you with us! 💚

The EU must turn the #CAP into a #climate tool 🌾

It is time for European agriculture to cut emissions and help reach climate neutrality by 2050 🌱

Read our latest report with @ecologic.eu to find out how ⬇️

Leveraging the common agricultural policy to accelerate livestock emission reductions - IEEP AISBL

The next CAP can unlock low-emission farming by scaling up innovation, farmer networks, and targeted incentives for sustainable livestock.

Studie zeigt:
Große Ackerflächen 🚜 heizen sich an heißen Sommertagen ☀️🌡ähnlich stark auf wie städtische Betonflächen, mit negativen Folgen für den Ertrag und den Boden.

"An Hitzetagen gibt es kaum einen Unterschied zwischen Berlin-Mitte und der Feldmark", sagt Pierre Ibisch, Professor für Ökologie.

Hitze in der Landwirtschaft: Das hält der Acker nicht aus

Eine neue Studie zeigt: Riesige Ackerflächen heizen sich genauso stark auf wie Betonwüsten in Städten. Doch die Landwirtschaft könnte ihre Flächen kühl halten.

👉Achieving them affordably requires EU-wide infrastructure planning, smart use of green molecules where they are most needed, stronger circularity, and a massive expansion of domestic renewables and energy storage capacities.
5/5

Ecologic Institut @ecologic.eu · 7d

👉Unlike fossil fuel supply security, these goals can largely be met through domestic policies.
👉A coherent strategy that integrates these elements can cut costs, strengthen resilience, drive decarbonisation, and underpin open strategic autonomy.
4/5

Ecologic Institut @ecologic.eu · 7d

👉A renewables-based system built on domestic capital stock is inherently more resilient than the legacy system reliant on fossil fuel imports.
👉As the energy transition advances, the core security issues shift to power system stability, cybersecurity and industrial resilience.
3/5

Ecologic Institut @ecologic.eu · 7d

Key takeaway: decarbonisation and energy security reinforce each other, if Europe adopts a forward-looking, adaptive strategy.
👉The EU should rethink energy security in light of increasingly renewable, decentralised and electrified energy systems.
