Soziale Diskurse und Ziele der Klimaanpassung
Die DAS formuliert Ziele im Kontext der ressortübergreifenden Strategie bislang sehr allgemein, was die Akzeptanz erhöht und die Übertragung auf spezifische Handlungskontexte erleichtert. Dies stellt jedoch eine Herausforderung für die Bewertung der Anpassungsfortschritte dar. Die Aufgabe der Studien war es von daher, dieses Spannungsverhältnis auszuloten. Vor diesem Hintergrund wurde unters... read more
Advanced materials: steadily sustainable and safe
Advanced materials are innovative materials of most diverse chemical composition and form. They can offer solutions to global challenges. Examples are carrier systems for novel active ingredients or graphene for future use in batteries. To ensure that the materials are safe and sustainable over their life cycle, certain cornerstones need to be considered. read more
RESCUE – Resource-Efficient Pathways to Greenhouse-Gas-Neutrality
In the RESCUE project, the German Environment Agency (UBA) explores the nexus between climate protection and associated resource requirements. Using six scenarios, different development paths are explored and insights gained on how to reduce future resource use and greenhouse-gas emissions in Germany. read more
Onshore wind power potential greater than previously thought
More than one tenth of Germany's land surface is suited for wind turbines - without causing significant harm to sensitive protected areas or compromising noise protection laws. read more
Briefing Cohesion Policy post 2020: Non-eligible activities; Article 6
With Article 6 of the draft ERDF/Cohesion Fund-Regulation the EU-Commission submitted far-reaching proposals for the exclusion of funding areas from EU-Cohesion Policy post 2020. These non-eligible activities include areas with a poor cost-benefit ratio or which contradict EU policy priorities. The German Environment Agency now provides a briefing that assesses the proposals from an EU policy p... briefing_cohesion_policy_post_2020.pdf
Coal-fired power generation and climate protection until 2030
With this position paper, the UBA proposes strategic measures and targeted climate policy instruments for achieving a reduction in coal-fired power generation for the period up until 2030. To achieve a disproportionately high reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by the energy sector as a contribution to achieving the climate protection targets by 2020, the UBA recommends to limit coal-fired p... read more
