In the organizer's words:
In the series: Climate, energy, transport - for a sustainable environmental policy in Frankfurt and beyond
Climate change is rapidly turning into a climate catastrophe for more and more regions of the world. Climate change with its extreme weather events has now also arrived in our previously "temperate latitudes". The link between man-made greenhouse gas emissions and global warming has been scientifically proven.
All that remains of the doubts about this connection are untenable conspiracy theories, and in this situation the Climate Protection Act is being gutted in Germany, while Donald Trump, an aggressive climate denier, is elected president in the USA.
For 200 years, the processing and burning of fossil fuels (first coal, then oil and natural gas) have been the material prerequisites for global industrialization and the growth of material wealth in national economies. Country-specific economic and social structures and global power relations have developed on this basis.
During the oil crisis of the 1970s, it was assumed that oil reserves would be exhausted by 2020. However, according to OPEC estimates, the current known, economically usable oil reserves will last for around 50 years at the current level of global energy consumption.
These reserves are putting enormous pressure on national climate protection policies. In recent years, for example, "unconventional extraction methods (fracking) have turned the USA from an oil importer into an oil exporter.
Against this background, it will be examined how likely it is that the extremely export-dependent German economy can be transformed into a climate-neutral economy using purely market-based instruments, if growth constraints, international competitiveness and the debt brake act as boundary conditions.
