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
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
Resource-Efficient Pathways towards Greenhouse-Gas- Neutrality – RESCUE: Summary Report
The RESCUE study describes in six scenarios possible development paths towards a resource-efficient and greenhouse-gas (GHG) neutral Germany until 2050. For this, assumptions related to the level of ambition for reaching GHG-neutrality, the magnitude of materials- and energy-efficiency, and the implementation of sustainable life-styles are varied. Until 2050, GHG-emissions can be reduced by 95... read more
Data on the Environment 2015
Environmental policy requires great staying power not only in terms of climate protection. A look at air pollution control and water protection shows that while harmful emissions to the environment are decreasing in many areas, this is no reason to sound the all clear. For example, only ten percent of rivers and streams in Germany and only about one percent of examined sections of North and Ba... read more
Carbon Bubble – Analyses, economic risks, measures and instruments
Conditions for investment in climate protection are quite favorable. Nevertheless, financial resources continue to flow into fossil energy sources. This is accompanied by risks. To assess these risks, UBA has had a method developed which allows financial institutions to roughly estimate transitory climate risks. Simulating the economic development of certain key industries shows that climate r... read more
Positionspapier Neuartige Materialien
Neuartige Materialen versprechen technische Lösungen zur Unterstützung der nachhaltigen Transformation. Sie spielen eine wichtige Rolle für eine Vielzahl der am UBA bearbeiteten Umweltthemen wie beispielsweise die Energiewende, Kreislaufwirtschaft und Chemikaliensicherheit. Dabei können die verschiedenen Bereiche durch den Einsatz neuartiger Materialien profitieren, aber auch vor Herausforderu... read more
