Economic crises can boost decarbonisation: Germany’s RIFS

Economic crises can have a positive effect on triggering decarbonisation, as per a study by researchers from the Research Institute for Sustainability (RIFS) in Potsdam, Germany, and ETH Zurich. The study examined the relationship between emissions peaks and economic crises in 45 countries that were members of the OECD and the G20 between 1965 and 2019.
