Q&A: What does the Iberian blackout signal for the energy transition?
Publication date 08 May 2025

We still don’t know exactly what caused the recent widespread power outage across the Iberian Peninsula on April 28th.

Navigating CBAM in China: Exploring Policy Pathways for Guangdong province
Publication date 22 Apr 2025

With the urgent need to cut emissions and ramp up its climate ambitions, the European Union introduced the world’s first carbon border adjustments: the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).

However, concerns remain over its potential impact on international trade, particularly for exporters in regions heavily reliant on carbon-intensive industries. This report examines its potential impact on export-oriented...

Op-Ed: The new German government lacks a compass for foreign trade and climate policy
Publication date 14 Apr 2025

The new German coalition government emphasises the importance of strategic partnerships - but its actual plans tell a different story. Rather than fostering equal and mutually beneficial alliances, the focus lies squarely on Germany’s own interests, ranging from curbing migration at its source to securing access to raw materials. In doing so, Germany risks squandering both its credibility and its own long-term strategic advantages, as Lukas Kahlen and Ines Paiva from NewClimate Institute warn.
