Das Projekt "Alpenkonvention: Sektorale Entwicklung der Grünen Wirtschaft im Alpenraum" analysiert in und mit Akteur*innen der vier Pilotregionen Soča-Idrijca-Tal (SI), Energieregion Goms (CH), Region Diois (F) und Euregio Zugspitze-Wetterstein-Karwendel (AT-DE) wie einzelne Sektoren unter verschiedenen Ausgangsvoraussetzungen in einzelnen Alpenregionen konkret zur Umsetzung einer grünen Wirts... read more
This paper examines the technical challenges and safety aspects on board the ship when using alternative fuels in maritime transport and compares their use in fuel cells and combustion engines. It also looks at GHG and pollutant emissions as well as costs and possible necessary adaptations during operation. read more
This paper examines the life cycle emissions of alternative fuels in maritime transport. read more
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
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
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
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
The UBA’s motto, For our environment (“Für Mensch und Umwelt”), sums up our mission pretty well, we feel. In this video we give an insight into our work.
Due to the large number of enquiries, there may be delays in responding. We ask for your understanding.
