Monitoring Germany’s energy transition
Transformation Tracker
As part of the Kopernikus Ariadne project, scientists from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research set out to measure the progress of Germany’s energy transition. The experts identified well over 40 indicators, ranging from transport, buildings and electrification to lifestyle and efficiency, that provide a comprehensive picture of the field. With several possible scenarios for achieving climate neutrality in 2045, these indicators could then be matched with their equivalents in the data produced by the model. With historical, current and target data points, we were then able to calculate and visualise the progress.

In this ongoing project, we are creating a dashboard that allows exploration of climate risk scenarios in different geographies for numerous indicators and scenarios.
How will I experience climate change?
Everyone is affected by the climate crisis differently. This web tool offers simple access to scientific data to find out differences in age, region and warming scenario.
Greening the financial system
With countries targeting net-zero, the transitions pose significant risks. The NGFS scenario portal was created together with the PIK to explain and analyse plausible scenarios to central banks and supervisors.
