The core facts about climate protection in just 39 words:
1. Coal, oil, and gas are the main problem.
2. Those who have a lot generate a lot of CO₂.
3. Perverse incentives and fossil-fuel interests act as a brake.
4. Solutions exist — and are often inexpensive.
5. Most people want more climate protection, implemented fairly.
6. Policymakers must take action.
7. Every tenth of a degree counts.
The document demonstrates in a concisely and accessible language that solutions for climate protection exist and are often even cost-effective. However, perverse incentives and powerful fossil-fuel interests are hindering progress. At the same time, most people want more climate action — implemented in a fair and collective manner.
As a member of the DKK, the DKRZ aims to make the climate facts document accessible to the widest possible public.
The collection of climate facts is available online, though currently only in German: pdf for download
