The Horizon 2020 project "Global Governance and the European Union: Future Trends and Scenarios" (GLOBE) addresses the major roadblocks to effective and coherent global governance in a multipolar world. Coordinated by the Institut Barcelona d’Estudis Internacionals (IBEI), GLOBE brings together ten partner institutions from eight countries. Among them, the WZB manages a Work Package on the cross-cutting political and societal challenges to global governance. Tying together key insights from the unit’s work on authority, contestation, and normative legitimacy, the WZB researchers inquire into the political and institutional opportunities and constraints facing the EU in the global governance fabric.

The TRANSMIT research network examines migration as a complex, transnational, and social process. Its goal is to gain a deeper understanding of the dynamics of this process by analyzing the interactions between migration, integration, and border and migration policies across countries of origin, transit, and destination. TRANSMIT focuses on two regions of particular relevance to Germany in the context of migration: the Middle East and North Africa (MENA region) and West Africa. Since 2019, the team has been developing a comprehensive data infrastructure that enables transnational research on migration.
Der Verkehr konnte bislang als einziger Sektor die Treibhausgase nicht reduzieren. Um die Klimaziele der Bundesregierung zu erreichen, müssen die Emissionen bis 2030 um 40 Prozent sinken. Weder technische Innovationen noch ein verändertes Verhalten versprachen bislang einen Ausweg. Die Corona-Pandemie eröffnet nun die einmalige Chance einer empirischen Untersuchung zu Fragen nach der Veränderbarkeit der Mobilität unter ganz neuen Bedingungen. Das öffentliche Leben ist praktisch still gestellt.
