Performance Distribution Tool

The Performance Distribution Tool is an web-based application that was developed to support the first Global Stocktake (GST). The tool can help identify trends in the indicator and the existence of leaders and laggards. It enables peer pressure among countries and public scrutiny, which contribute to enhancing ambition in the GST process.

Klimaschutzpolitik im deutschen Verkehrssektor entspricht etwa 3°C globaler Erwärmung
Publication date 27 Apr 2023

Die aktuell umgesetzte Klimapolitik im deutschen Verkehrssektor bis 2030 entspricht einer Erderwärmung von etwa 3°C. Der deutsche Verkehrssektor würde von 2016 bis 2030 fast doppelt so viel verbrauchen, wie das Budget, das ihm für die Einhaltung der 1,5°C-Grenze zustünde. Damit ist der Verkehrssektor das Schlusslicht unter den Sektoren in Deutschland.

What is a fair emissions budget for Belgium?
Publication date 31 Mar 2023

This report describes and quantifies different approaches on how the remaining global carbon budget could be distributed to individual countries and the implications for Belgium. It also illustrates the share that according to literature would reflect an unambiguously fair share for Belgium.

Plans for German liquefied natural gas terminals are massively oversized
Publication date 13 Dec 2022

The study compares Germany's plans for the expansion of LNG import infrastructure with the actual need for imports. The analysis concludes that Germany's plans are massively oversized and not compatible with the path to climate neutrality. Germany's climate protection goals require a significant reduction in gas consumption, and the planned infrastructure either risks large financial losses due to low utilisation, or calls into question compliance with the path to climate neutrality.

Pläne für deutsche Flüssigerdgas-Terminals sind massiv überdimensioniert
Publication date 08 Dec 2022

Die Studie vergleicht die Pläne Deutschlands für den Ausbau der LNG-Importinfrastruktur mit dem tatsächlichen Bedarf an Importen. Die Analyse kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass die Pläne Deutschlands massiv überdimensioniert und nicht mit dem Pfad zur Klimaneutralität vereinbar sind. Deutschlands Klimaschutzziele verlangen eine deutliche Reduktion des Gasverbrauchs und die geplante Infrastruktur riskiert entweder große finanzielle Verluste durch eine geringe Auslastung, oder stellt das Einhalten des Pfads zur Klimaneutralität in Frage.
