In this brochure, WISIONS focuses on the interdependent connection between water and energy. WISIONS presents good practice projects dealing with water and energy in Guatemala, Peru, Tunisia, the Philippines and Tanzania that have been successfully implemented, with the intention of further promoting the particular approaches used by these projects. Using a key number of internationally accepted criteria, the main consideration for the selection of the projects was energy and resource efficiency. The assessment of the projects also included the consideration of regional factors acknowledging different needs and potentials.
The Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy and the UNEP/Wuppertal Institute Collaborating Centre on Sustainable Consumption and Production (CSCP) set out to analyse Japanese dematerialisation and resource efficiency strategies within the 3R scope and searched for options of enhancing resource effi ciency strategies, commissioned by the German Federal Environment Agency. A further task of the project was to initiate a policy dialogue including stakeholders, academia, politics and Japanese and European environmental experts. The following paper summarises findings from the analyses, the results of the policy dialogues (Experts Workshop, 6 June 2007 and International Conference, 6 November 2007) and draws conclusions for a potential Japanese-European cooperation on the resource efficiency issue.
In diesem Papier wird über den Ansatz und die Ergebnisse der Forschungspartnerschaft "Perspektiven dezentraler Infrastrukturen im Spannungsfeld von Wettbewerb, Klimaschutz und Qualität (INFRAFUTUR)" berichtet. INFRAFUTUR - das steht für die Zukunft der dezentralen Infrastrukturen. Es wurde danach gefragt, welche Strategien geeignet sind, um die Ver- bzw. Entsorgung von privaten Haushalten und der Wirtschaft mit Dienstleistungen in den Sparten Energie, Wasser/Abwasser und Abfall zukunftsfähig zu sichern. Dabei konzentrierte sich die Analyse auf kommunalwirtschaftliche Unternehmen als Akteure.
