The European Climate Research Alliance (ECRA) will be celebrating its tenth anniversary on March 10. In this interview, we talk to climate researcher and ECRA Chair Peter Braesicke about the idea behind the founding of the climate research network and about future challenges.

Our carbon budget is shrinking
We may still emit about 420 gigatonnes of CO2 if we want to limit global warming to 1.5°C by 2100. How can we do that? And what does that mean for Germany?
