Energy transition policymaking must evolve to fit an age of rupture
Andreas Sieber is head of political strategy at 350.0g. Cat Abreu is director of the International Climate Politics Hub. From the US abduction of Venezuela’s president at the start of this year to the Iran war which rumbles on, disruption is the new normal for global geopolitics, more often than not linked to conflict over supplies of oil and gas.
COP31 must persuade countries to make fossil fuel transition plans
Andreas Sieber is head of political strategy at 350.org. Shady Khalil is a senior global policy strategist at Oil Change International. COP31 will take place in the context of what Fatih Birol, the head of the International Energy Agency, has called the “biggest energy crisis in history” - an extraordinary warning from a typically measured leader.
ऊर्जा सुरक्षा की खुलती कलई
ईरान में लोग युद्ध की विभीषिका झेल रहे हैं। वहीं, पूरी दुनिया एक बड़े ऊर्जा संकट की गिरफ्त में है। अब तक इस संकट को लेकर सारा ध्यान यूरोप पर रहा है। लेकिन असल में एशिया के लिए यह खतरा कहीं अधिक बड़ा है। एशिया के एलएनजी आयात का लगभग एक-तिहाई हिस्सा इसी होर्मुज मार्ग से होकर गुजरता है। यही नहीं, करीब 60 प्रतिशत कच्चा तेल भी इसी रास्ते से आता है। इस संघर्षग्रस्त “चोक-पॉइंट” से गुजरने वाले 75 प्रतिशत तेल और 59 प्रतिशत एलएनजी की खपत अकेले चार देश करते हैं। ये देश हैं चीन, भारत, जापान और दक्षिण...
»Fossilflation«: Preisschocks zerstören Volkswirtschaften weltweit
Diesen Monat warnte die Europäische Zentralbank, dass die Abhängigkeit von fossilen Energien die makroökonomische Stabilität gefährdet – und der Ausstieg aus Kohle, Öl und Gas damit zu einer monetären Frage wird. Zentralbanken betreiben keine Kampagnen. Sie berechnen Risiken. Sie ziehen nicht gegen Katherina Reiches rückwärtsgewandte Energiepolitik auf die Straße, sie arbeiten mit Excel-Tabellen statt mit Transparenten.

Fossil fuels have become a macroeconomic risk
Climate denail is widespread at global banks, while financing for fossil fuels continues Fossil fuel dependence is now a critical macroeconomic risk that drives global inflation and erodes financial stability, as recently highlighted by the European Central Bank. Ongoing geopolitical conflicts have exposed the fragility of global energy supply chains, resulting in immediate financial losses and pushing financially vulnerable, import-dependent economies in poorer countries closer to crisis.
Biofuels pose high risk to Lula's roadmap away from fossil fuels
President Lula opened COP30 with his boldest call yet for climate action and a clean-energy future.
Why COP30 needs a cover decision to succeed
Andreas Sieber is the associate director of global policy and campaigns at 350.org. It is no accident that the COP30 presidency convenes consultations on Thursday, a day after the UN Climate Summit. Wednesday’s speeches offered proof that, even amid geopolitical upheaval, the Paris Agreement still drives momentum. At the same time, the hard truth was clear well before the summit: the pledges do not add up. COP30’s credibility rests on how it confronts this ambition gap.
Global Climate Targets Show Renewables Rising
By Andreas Sieber From trade wars, to humanitarian crises and geopolitical fractures, the world is grappling with many crises. This may tempt many to declare diplomatic cooperation dead, and climate action impossible. There’s almost a taste for failure, a seduction in believing the world is too broken to change. Yet renewables tell a different story: one of stubborn progress and hope breaking through the cracks of upheaval.
08.01.25 -- CDMOs Should Stop Stringing Biotechs Along
Clinical And Formulation Strategies For Targeted Peptide Drug Development Novel technologies and therapies are helping drug developers to overcome challenges associated with the development of injectable and oral peptide formulations. Secrets To Successful Development For Emerging Biotechs Emerging biotechs are behind many of the pharma industry’s latest therapeutic innovations. And while CDMOs are eager to work with them, they must learn to accommodate their unique needs.
07.15.25 -- Radiopharmaceuticals: Navigating FDA Guidance And CMC Considerations
The unique nature of radiopharmaceuticals necessitates specialized regulatory considerations, particularly for chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (CMC). Missing Pieces Of The Upstream Process Intensification Puzzle If downstream risks from higher upstream titers hinder your process intensification, PAT and Data Analytics are key. Explore how these tools provide control to mitigate risks and optimize production.
COP30 must heed the elephant in the room: fossil fuels
Andreas Sieber is the associate director of global policy and campaigns at 350.org. Stela Herschmann is Climate Policy Specialist at Observatório do Clima, a network of 130 Brazilian organisations. Four work pillars. Sixteen possible negotiated outcomes. Three advisory “circles”. One “ethical stocktake”. Councils, roadmaps.
Trump's tariff tantrum won't stop the global energy transition
Andreas Sieber is the Associate Director of Policy and Campaigns at 350.org. Trump has such a passion for tariffs he even imposed them on Antarctic islands – home only to penguins, who presumably pose a grave threat to American industry.
Who’s Leading and Who’s Lagging? Original
By Andreas Sieber, Associate Director of Policy and Campaigns at 350.org. Connect with Andreas on LinkedIn. Monday, February 10 marks the initial submission time for countries to deliver their updated national climate plans (NDCs), including fresh 2035 emissions reduction targets. And, surprise—most will be late. But that’s not the scandal. The real question is whether governments will step up with ambitious targets or stumble into irrelevance in the global clean energy race.
COP29 must deliver on the world's energy transition promises
Dr. Sindra Sharma is senior policy advisor at Pacific Climate Action Network, Shady Khalil is global policy senior strategist at Oil Change International, and Andreas Sieber is associate director of policy and campaigns at 350.org. At the COP28 climate summit last year, nations took a historic step by agreeing to call on each other to transition away from fossil fuels and pledging to triple renewable energy capacity globally by 2030. COP29 starts next week in Azerbaijan.

It’s time for France to amplify its climate leadership
As nations grapple with the monumental task of transitioning to renewable energy and building climate resilience, the need for equitable mechanisms to finance the transition has taken centre stage. At the upcoming G7 climate ministerial, France has a unique opportunity to demonstrate leadership on the climate action front. This year — dubbed the year for climate finance — France should lead the European bloc and fellow major economies with dollars and decisive action.

Will rich nations step away from fossil fuels, as they promised?
Mitzi Jonelle Tan is a climate justice activist from the Philippines. Andreas Sieber is the associate director of policy and campaigns at 350.org The COP28 U.N. climate summit delivered an overdue global commitment to transition away from fossil fuels. For far too long, the fossil fuel industry has burned away our present and our future. Just over a month after the summit, there is a chance to build early momentum and make the promises and pledges made at COP28 more concrete.
To triple renewable energy, the Global South needs finance
Ministers at Cop28 met in the UAE and agreed on a global target to triple renewable capacity by 2030 to over 11,000 gigawatts. This offers hope in our battle against climate chaos and is aligned with limiting temperature to 1.5C. But to realise this aspiration necessitates a significant increase in financial support and financial reform. The good news is that upscaling renewable energy will to some extent displace fossil fuels by outperforming oil, coal and gas economically.
To land fossil phase-out deal, rich nations must add fairness
As we enter the second and decisive week of Cop28 in Dubai, an agreement to phase out all fossil fuels and scale up renewables is edging close to a pivotal decision. In these kind of talks just a couple of years ago, very few people at the table were able to even entertain conversations on the phasing out of fossil fuels.
11.10.23 -- Most Difficult Outsourcing Tasks
Hint: According to long-term Pfizer supply-chain professional Francis Dumont, it is sterile-fill. Learn about that and much more on working effectively with CDMOs to optimize production. Understanding The FDA’s Current Focus On Risk Evaluation And Mitigation Strategies The FDA recently asked for comments about how the government handles vendor change requests from drug sponsors with risk evaluation and mitigation strategies.
To triple renewable energy, the Global South needs finance
With one month to go until Cop28, ministers meet in the UAE this week and a global target to triple renewable capacity by 2030 to over 11,000 gigawatts is poised to take centre stage. This offers hope in our battle against climate chaos. The target is not only aligned with limiting temperature to 1.5C, it is reasonably likely to be agreed in Dubai. But to realise this aspiration necessitates a significant increase in financial support and financial reform.
10.25.23 -- Bristol Myers Squibb Buys Mirati: Signal Or Symptom?
This discussion goes well beyond the recent Bristol Myers Squibb deal for Mirati Therapeutics to thoughts on how we limit patent durations to provide for a robust generics market. Do we actually lower drug prices? September 2023: CDMO Opportunities And Threats Report Each month, Outsourced Pharma works in conjunction with PharmSource, part of GlobalData, to present its “Contract Manufacturing: Opportunities and Threats (CMOT) Report” to our readers.

When is the right time to engage medical affairs? If you're not sure when MA should make its debut, consider these 11 unique medical affairs contributions that should begin in discovery, be directly connected to other cross-functional deliverables, and continue through launch to support a successful R&D program. Are Drugs Becoming More Lipophilic Over Time?
The EU lacks ambition on Cop28 renewable targets
The EU Council meets today to discuss and decide on the European Union’s goals for Cop28 in Dubai in November. A global renewables target has been positioned as a centerpiece of the climate talks. The EU was among the first to get behind it in principle and will discuss at their Council meeting. But there is an unexpected twist.
Fossil fuel reform can finance our future
Last week, representatives from states and international organisations attended the Summit for a New Global Financial Pact in Paris – a first-of-its-kind conference aimed at examining how the global financial system exacerbates economic challenges for the Global South. The summit was the outcome of a radical call to restructure the global financial system, led by Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley and known as the Bridgetown Initiative.

Why we Need a Climate Coalition between China and the EU
There have been many speculations on whether Trump might pull out of the Paris Agreement. But very few suggestions have been made how to deal with it. If the international community wants to keep the chance to effectively mitigate climate change, the European Union and China must form a new coalition leading on climate protection. So, do the US officially pull out? That’s not the point.

Giselle Bernard is a Franco-British social sciences student based in London and works as a journalist with a keen interest in international and climate politics. Ivo Bantel is an environmental journalist and part of the Climatetracker project. BERLIN, PARIS AND BRUSSELS, Feb 19 2016 (IPS) - The day, 12 December 2015 was historic.
„Wir haben keine Zeit mehr“
taz: Herr Naidoo, Sie haben den Chefsessel bei Greenpeace 2009 direkt vor der Klimakonferenz in Kopenhagen übernommen. Was ist heute in Paris anders als damals? Kumi Naidoo: In Kopenhagen gab es immer noch einige Klimaskeptiker, die den menschengemachten Treibhauseffekt anzweifelten. Ich denke, es ist positiv, dass die Diskussion über den Klimawandel heute mehr von der Wissenschaft als von der Öl- und Kohleindustrie geführt wird.
„Wer Tuvalu rettet, rettet die Welt“
Nach dem Sturm Pam sind wir über unsere Inseln gegangen und die Reaktionen, die wir überall erhalten haben war: „Wir wollen nicht umsiedeln.“ Die Menschen wollen da bleiben, wo sie geboren und aufgezogen wurden. Deshalb ist es unsere Pflicht, dass ich als Politiker den Bedürfnissen meines Landes gerecht werde. Als eine verantwortungsvolle Regierung müssen wir so handeln. Dafür müssen wir mit anderen Staaten in derselben Lage zusammenarbeiten. Wir brauchen aber auch die Unterstützung größerer Länder.
Die Klimakonferenz der Kohlekonzerne
Die NGO Corpoorate Acountability hat diesen Montag die Studie “Fueling the Fire - The corporate sponsors bankrolling COP21“ herausgegeben: Sie zeigt, dass die vier Europäischen Energierisen Engie, EDF, Suez Environment and BNP Paribas zusammen nicht weniger als 46 Kohlkraftwerke besitzen. Sie investieren in Teersandprojekte in Kanada und Fracking in Großbritannien. Ist die Öl- und Kohlelobby mächtiger als die Zivilgesellschaft?
Newcomer der Klimabewegung: Generation CO2
Anton Jäkel, Deutschland Der Student ist bereits ein Klimakonferenzprofi. Die COP 21 ist bereits die vierte für den internationalen Sekretär im Bundesvorstand der Grünen Jugend. Zur Weltklimakonferenz in Paris hat er die Kampagne #itsourfuckingfuture organisiert. So will er in sozialen Netzwerken vermitteln, wer in seinen Augen auf den Konferenzen eine ambitionierte Klimapolitik blockiert – zum Beispiel Sigmar Gabriel mit seiner Kohlepolitik.
Der Klima-Frühling
Marokko beispielsweise hat eines der ehrgeizigsten Klimaschutzziele aller Schwellenländer. Das Land will seine Emissionen in den nächsten 15 Jahren um bis zu 32 Prozent senken. Die Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate setzen zunehmend auf erneuerbare Energien. „In manchen arabischen Staaten ist der Klimaschutz schon viel weiter als in den offiziellen Zusagen für die internationale Klimapolitik“, analysiert Jayoussi.
"Wir brauchen radikalen Wandel"
Eligizouli: Das System und seine Institutionen sind sehr stark etabliert. Es ist so schwierig das System zu verändern – dazu brauchen wir die neue Generation. Ich denke wir sehen auch eine Veränderung. Vor etwa 20 Jahren wurde ich Teil von diesem ganzen Prozess rund um den Klimawandel und ich denke die Einstellung junger Menschen hat sich seit dem stark verändert. Und das gute ist, dass es diese vor allem junge Bewegung nicht nur Entwicklungsländern, sondern auch in Industrieländern gibt.
Was Merkel jetzt tun muss
Am 30. November findet in Paris die COP21, die 21. Klimakonferenz der Vereinten Nationen statt. Diese Woche finden in Bonn die letzten 5 Tage Vorverhandlungen statt. Wichtige Weichen werden gestellt. Selten standen die Chancen für einen weltweiten Klimadeal so gut wie dieses Jahr, gleichzeitig ist dort gestellt. Die Situation extrem riskant und Deutschland kann eine Schlüsselrolle spielen.
Building Bridges - Bonn to the #call4climate
The UN climate talks have just begun, but its not the negotiations I’m looking forward to this time. It’s all of you. Think of these next two weeks as small stepping stones rather than large jumps ahead for the negotiations. A lot of negotiators are keen to move things rapidly forward, but there are a number of ongoing issues that have slowly dragged on for years, and still need some soft massaging.
What does it take to be a Climate Tracker?
The UN climate talks are well and truly underway, but progress has been slow. While there have been spurts of productivity, it seems that negotiators have been shying away from some of the key issues here in Bonn. Instead of “streamlining” a bloated negotiating document, our national leaders are sinking into the deep-sea of diplomatic immobility. In order to push them back into the spotlight, we have brought along two of our favourite Climate Trackers from previous UN climate talks.
Strong Climate Deal Needed to Combat Future Refugee Crises
Andreas Sieber, who has worked for several NGOs and the Saxon State Chancellery in Germany, is part of the #Climatetracker project. STRASBOURG, Sep 10 2015 (IPS) - Climate change has been held responsible many of the social and economic woes affecting mainly the poorest in the global South and now many are seeing it as one of the root causes of refugee crises. In his State of the Union speech here Sep.
Klima- oder Kohlekanzlerin
Wohin geht die Reise? Bild: Sean Gallup/Getty Images Bis zur Klimakonferenz in Paris sind es weniger als 100 Tage. Es bleiben aber nur noch 10 Tage an Verhandlungen. „Im Entwurf des Pariser Klimaprotokolls fehlen derzeit die entscheidenden Elemente.“, kritisiert Martin Kaiser von Greenpeace.
Dieses Jahr entscheidet sich, ob Merkel wirklich Klimakanzlerin ist
Es sind weniger als 100 Tage bis zur Klimakonferenz in Paris. Der heißeste Juli seit Beginn der Wetteraufzeichnungen ist gerade erst vorbei und 2015 wird auch insgesamt alle bisherigen Hitzerekorde brechen. Seit diesem Montag verhandeln die Diplomaten wieder in Bonn und es steht schon jetzt viel auf dem Spiel. Es bleiben nur noch 10 Tage an Verhandlungen. 2015 wird nicht nur das heißeste Jahr seit Beginn der Wetteraufzeichnungen werden.
Opinion: Short-Term Goals are the Key to an Effective Climate Treaty
Andreas Sieber has worked for several NGOs and the Saxon State Chancellery in Germany. As part of the #Climatetracker project, Sieber attended the UNFCCC meetings which have just ended in Bonn. BONN, Sep 6 2015 (IPS) - Less than 100 days before the U.N. climate change conference (COP21) in Paris in December, there are now only few who believe that the conference will not produce a treaty. But for most countries involved, this is rarely the question.
Klimawandel: Gefahr und Chance für unsere Gesundheit
Er ist verantwortlich für Dürren, Überschwemmungen und tödliche Stürme wie Haiyan, die zehntausende Menschen obdachlos machen: Der Klimawandel zeigt bisher vor allem im globalen Süden seine zerstörerischen Auswirkungen. Dabei wird es nicht bleiben. Auswirkungen auf unsere GesundheitssystemeIn zunehmendem Ausmaß bedroht der Klimawandel die weltweite Gesundheitsversorgung - auch in Europa.
Was der Klimwandel anrichtet
Die Philippinen werden vom Klimawandel besonders hart getroffen. Fischer erzählen mir, dass sie weniger fangen, weil das Wasser zu warm wird für Fische. Bauern erzählen, wie ihre Ernten von Dürren zerstört werden. Letztes Jahr habe ich am „Klima-Marsch“ des Klima-Kommissars unseres Landes, Naderev Sano teilgenommen. Auf unserem Weg sind wir in viele Gemeinden gekommen, die der Taifun Haiyan zerstört hat. Ein Jahr später waren sie immer noch mit dem Wiederaufbau beschäftigt.
Das könnte Griechenland wirklich retten
Griechenland mag viele wirtschaftliche Schwächen haben. Aber die Rettungspolitik allein auf Schwachstellen des Krisenlandes zu verengen, ist ein großer Fehler. Besonders ein Industriezweig macht Hoffnung und könnte dem Land aus der Krise helfen, denn Griechenland hat darin enorme Standortvorteile -auch gegenüber Deutschland. Dennoch blockiert die aktuelle EU-Politik Investitionen.An 300 Tagen im Jahr scheint in Griechenland die Sonne: Allerbeste Voraussetzungen für Solarenergie.
Ausgerechnet die Deutsche Bank
Die Deutsche Bank ist ein Vorreiter bei Klimaschutz und Menschenrechten. Sie ist deshalb jetzt Partner der Vereinten Nationen beim Kampf gegen die globale Erwärmung. Beide Sätze überraschen. Korrekt ist nur der Zweite: Die Deutsche Bank verwaltet künftig den Klimafond (GCF) der UN als eines von insgesamt 13 internationalen Geldinstituten. Dass die Deutsche Bank Klimaschützer ist und die Energiewende vorantreibt, sieht so nur der hauseigene Corporate Social Responsability Report.
