Translation of "Klimaschäden" in English

At the same time, resource consumption needs to be reduced and irreversible environmental and climate damage avoided.

In this way, the WiFi data logger helps you to avoid climate-related damage.

Developing countries especially are exposed to risks arising from climate change.

These costs are small compared to the potential damage to our climate.

This means that solar and wind power avoid about $0.03 of climate damage for every dollar spent.

Of course, the responsibility for mitigating climate change does not fall only on government.

To assess global long-term scenarios of climate politics and climate damage, we use the integrated evaluation model WIAGEM.

A fourth point could be added: the poor countries themselves are having to pay for the climate damage they have not caused.

Environmental experts claim that, after industry, the next most important cause of damage to the climate and the next largest source of emissions is all the primitive hearths and cookers that are found in huts and hovels all around Africa, Asia and South America.

If, however, they were to obtain access to energy under conventional conditions, that would lead to major damage to the environment and climate.

Investments in public transport, investments in decontaminating buildings and investments in distant heating networks reduce climate damage and our dependence on oil.

For example, cutting a ton of CO2 with on-shore wind turbines in Germany probably costs about $35, avoiding about 14 cents of climate damage per dollar.

In fact, new studies show that 38% of the EU carbon cuts leak elsewhere, meaning that European climate policy avoids not three cents of climate damage per dollar spent, but less than two.

Indeed, the only peer-reviewed overview of EU climate policy estimates that it can avoid climate-related damage of about $10 billion per year.

It would cost about $20 trillion to avoid some climate damages, ensuring a net benefit of $30 trillion over coming centuries.

Over the last decade, insurers have paid out some $300 billion for climate-related damage, often to rebuild the same vulnerable structures.

Based on conventional estimates, this would avoid total climate damages of about $1.1 trillion across the century.

During the car’s lifetime, this will prevent 11 tons of CO2 emissions, or about €44 of climate damage.

Green and Galiana calculate the benefits – from reduced warming and greater prosperity – and conservatively conclude that for every dollar spent this approach would avoid about $11 of climate damage.

Compare this to other analyses showing that strong and immediate carbon cuts would be expensive, yet achieve as little as $0.02 of avoided climate damage.

A global survey of all scientific estimates of the costs of climate change damage, undertaken by the United Nations climate panel, found that global warming right now has about a zero net cost.

Dependent on entry date of targets: Climate Damage reduced by €2bn-0.2bn/yr.

Liability for climate damage as a result of leakages is covered by the inclusion of storage sites in Directive 2003/87/EC, which requires surrender of emissions trading allowances for any leaked emissions.

Liability for climate damage as a result of leakages is covered by the inclusion of storage sites in Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 establishing a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community and amending Council Directive 96/61/EC14, which requires surrender of emissions trading allowances for any leaked emissions.

Directive 2003/87/EC establishing a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading is used for regulating the liability for climate damage by requiring surrender of allowances for leakage.

Cooling and freezing equipment will release an average of over 6,720 tonnes ozone-depleting greenhouse gases annually over 2011-20 causing climate damage monetised at around €1bn each year.

In other words, the poor design of EU climate policies triples the cost and prevents only three cents of climate damage per dollar spent.

But offshore wind turbines cost about $150 per ton of CO2, avoiding just three cents of climate damage per dollar.
