4 (Ramanathan & Feng 2008 PNAS) Cooling Effect of Aerosols

5 Dangerous Warming Commitment (Ramanathan & Feng 2008 PNAS)

6

7 (Schellnhuber 2008 PNAS) G8-Scenario and R&F‘s Invisible Hand

8 Integrated Assessment Consider 3 crucial aspects of sustainable climate protection measures: Mitigation Adaptation Development

9 Identify Ecological Assets Economic Sectors Social Systems highly sensitive to subset / totality of aspects Prioritize accordingly! Action Field Check

10 Development Lose Invest in Win-Win-Win Options Disencourage Lose-Lose-Lose Risks Adaptation Mitigation Win Stagnate LoseWinStagnate Lose Win Stagnate

11 LLL Examples Urbanization of coastal zones, mountain ranges, arid regions „Stradification“ of natural habitats Expansion of single-purpose fossil-fuel-based power stations WWW Examples Reduction of black carbon emissions through biomethane generated from degraded-land afforestation Solarthermal power generation + desalinization by energy towers Sustainable architecture
