After considerable improvements of wastewater treatment, the loads of nutrients and plant protection agents, deriving from agriculture and heavy metals from urban drainages effluents as well as from erosion of agricultural soils are the main sources of nutrients and harmful substances in the loads of water bodies. The targets of the project were on the one hand the analysis of the political and legislative framework of both policy fields and on the other hand the evaluation of several, selected water protection measures with regard to their contribution to reduce water pollution, their economical effects as well as their political enforceability. The focus was laid on diffuse water pollution caused by agriculture. As main reasons for the diffuse water pollution stagnating at high level, the analysis of the political framework identified a lack of implementation discipline of water law, followed by the fragmented and insufficient water protection legislation itself and the previous design of the common agricultural policy slanted towards increasing productivity. For the future co-operation of agricultural and water authorities in implementation of their reforms and better definition of "Good Farming Practice" are recommended. The second investigation level focuses on the analysis and assessment of selected measures to reduce the input of nutrients and plant protection agents. This part was done with help of calculation models focussing on the specific cost/benefit ratios for water protection. In detail the following measures have been analysed: decoupling of direct payments, coupling of livestock farming to areas, tax on mineral nitrogen, pesticide levy, buffer stripes alongside of watercourses, all season crop cover on arable land, soil cultivation procedures, changing the use of arable land, optimisation of animal nutrition, optimisation of manure storage and application, co-operative agreements, education and training. Co-operations and water protection related education and training can be highly recommended, since they improve knowledge and freedom of action. As the results on county level show, the measure "Decoupling of direct payments" would not lead to appreciable changes as far as the nutrient surpluses on farmland is concerned. "Coupling livestock farming to areas" would decrease the surpluses substantially. For this measure and Tax on mineral nitrogen, varying adaptation reactions could be expected depending on the regional specialisation in cropping or livestock farming areas. On single farm level the measures, protein adapted feeding, optimisation of manure storage and application showed the best cost-efficiency to reduce nutrient surpluses. All season crop cover on arable land and conservation tillage are highly efficient, too, and should be included in farming practice. A stronger limitation of livestock density could mean a reduction of manure, but the implementation of this measure would lead to high losses of income for farmers specialised in animal production. For reduction of diffuse water pollution caused by urban drainage political approaches as well as detailed technical measures are examined. In the area of urban drainage storm water management (especially infiltration and constructed wetlands), unsealing of paved areas and small wastewater treatment structures (for phosphorus reduction) showed best cost-effectiveness.

Resource-efficient construction : the role of eco-innovation for the construction sector in Europe
(2011)
The analysis of different global energy scenarios in part I of the report confirms that the exploitation of energy efficiency potentials and the use of renewable energies play a key role in reaching global CO2 reduction targets. An assessment on the basis of a broad literature research in part II shows that the technical potentials of renewable energy technologies are a multiple of today's global final energy consumption. The analysis of cost estimates for renewable electricity generation technologies and even long term cost projections across the key studies in part III demonstrates that assumptions are in reasonable agreement. In part IV it is shown that by implementing technical potentials for energy efficiency improvements in demand and supply sectors by 2050 can be limited to 48% of primary energy supply in IEA's "Energy Technology Perspectives" baseline scenario. It was found that a large potential for cost-effective measures exists, equivalent to around 55-60% of energy savings of all included efficiency measures (part V). The results of the analysis on behavioural changes in part VI show that behavioural dimensions are not sufficiently included in energy scenarios. Accordingly major research challenges are revealed.
Proposals for contributions of emerging economies to the climate regime under the UNFCCC post 2012
(2008)
Under the principle of "common but differentiated responsibilities” (Article 3.1 of the UNFCCC) non-Annex I parties have so far been exempted from emission limitation or reduction commitments. However, the pressure is mounting on those countries, especially major emitting developing countries, to contribute actively to the mitigation of climate change. Participation by these developing countries in a future international climate regime is often called for, but it is usually unclear how and how much these countries should participate, what kind of support they need and in which sectors. This project aims to provide a more detailed view on six countries to understand how they could best make a contribution to the regime and how they could best be supported in limiting their greenhouse gas emissions.
Das Forschungsvorhaben startete im April 2008 vor Verabschiedung des Kabinettsberichts der Bundesregierung zur Deutschen Anpassungsstrategie an den Klimawandel (DAS). In der DAS wird die Bedeutung der Information über Erfordernisse zur Anpassung und der aktiven Einbindung aller gesellschaftlichen Gruppen in den weiteren Prozess der Strategieentwicklung betont. Das Forschungsvorhaben hat dazu Vorschläge für eine Einbeziehung gesellschaftlicher Gruppen über das Internet und zur Einbeziehung von stakeholdern über Dialog- und Kommunikationsprozesse gemacht. Diese Vorschläge basieren im Wesentlichen auf einer Interessenanalyse über Interviews mit Stakeholdern und der Wirtschaft zu deren Anforderungen und Erwartungen an die DAS. Daneben wurden internationale Beispiele zur Anpassung an den Klimawandel recherchiert und als "good practice" in einer Broschüre für die Öffentlichkeitsarbeit aufbereitet. Für die Internet-Plattform www.anpassung.net wurden in Form von Projektsteckbriefen konkrete Vorschläge zur interaktiven Ausgestaltung der Plattform entwickelt.Ziel des von Öko-Institut und Wuppertal Institut durchgeführten UFOPLAN-Vorhabens war es, für Deutschland zum Komplex Abfallvermeidung eine fundierte Datenbasis über bestehende Maßnahmen der öffentlichen Hand sowie über angewandte Instrumente auf kommunaler, Länder- und Bundesebene zu schaffen. Damit wurde zugleich eine Datenbasis für die Erstellung eines nationalen Abfallvermeidungsprogramms, welche die Mitgliedstaaten gemäß der novellierten Abfallrahmenrichtlinie bis 2013 erarbeiten müssen, geschaffen. Hierzu wurden die in Deutschland und im Ausland bestehenden Abfallvermeidungsmaßnahmen der öffentlichen Hand auf lokaler, regionaler, Landes- und Staatsebene tabellarisch dargestellt und entsprechend dem Ziel, der Ebene sowie einer qualitativen Bewertung ihrer Vermeidungswirkung, beschrieben, soweit Informationen hierfür vorliegen. Schließlich wurden neue staatliche Abfallvermeidungsmaßnahmen in der Literatur identifiziert und geeignete Benchmarks, soweit sie im Rahmen der Recherchen ermittelt wurden, beschrieben. Insgesamt wurden 296 Maßnahmen aus über 20 Ländern erfasst und erste Schlussfolgerungen für mögliche Schwerpunkte eines nationalen Abfallvermeidungsprogramms gezogen.

Iran as an energy-rich country faces many challenges in optimal utilization of its vast resources. High population and economic growth, generous subsidies program, and poor resource management have contributed to rapidly growing energy consumption and high energy intensity for the past decades. The continuing trend of energy consumption will bring about new challenges as it will shrink oil exports revenues restraining economic activities and lowering standard of living. This study intends to tackle some of the important challenges in the energy sector and to explore alternative scenarios for utilization of energy resources in Iran for the period 2005-2030. We use techo-economic or end-use approach along with econometric methods to model energy demand in Iran for different types (fuel, natural gas, electricity, and renewable energy) in all sectors of the economy (household, industry, transport, power plants, and others) and forecast it under three scenarios: Business As Usual (BAU), Efficiency, and Renewable Energy.
This study is the first comprehensive study that models the Iranian energy demand using the data at different aggregation levels and a combination of methods to illuminate the future of energy demand under alternative scenarios. The results of the study have great policy implications as they indicate a huge potential for energy conservation and therefore additional revenues and emission reduction under the efficiency scenario compared with the base scenario. Specifically, the total final energy demand under the BAU scenario will grow on average by 2.6 percent per year reaching twice the level as that in 2005. In contrast, the total final energy demand in the Efficiency scenario will only grow by 0.4 percent on average per year. The average growth of energy demand under the combined Efficiency and Renewable Energy scenarios will be 0.2 percent per year. In the BAU scenario, energy intensity will be reduced by about 30 percent by 2030, but will still be above today's world average. In the Efficiency scenario, however, energy intensity will decline by about 60 percent by 2030 to a level lower than the world average today. The energy savings under the Efficiency and Renewable scenarios will generate significant additional revenues and will lead to 45 percent reduction in CO2-emissions by 2030 as compared to the BAU trends.

Zukunftsfähiges Hamburg? Auch die "wachsende Stadt" Hamburg hat Probleme mit der Nachhaltigkeit. Die Studie "Zukunftsfähiges Hamburg" bietet in den Kapiteln Verwalten, Versorgen, Wachsen, Wertschöpfen, Leben und Arbeiten eine fundierte Analyse der Situation in Hamburg sowie Antworten auf die Herausforderungen nachhaltiger Stadtpolitik in den nächsten Jahren. Es geht sowohl um politisch strukturelle als auch um individuell persönliche Alternativen. Pfiffige Konzepte wie die "Kurze Vollzeit", die "Mobi-Flatrate" oder "stoffliche Nullsummenspiele" als Antwort auf die Wachstumssackgasse zeigen Handlungsoptionen. Sie unterstützen die "Europäische Umwelthauptstadt 2011" fundiert und konkret. Das Buch fokussiert die zentralen Themen der Studie "Zukunftsfähiges Deutschland in einer globalisierten Welt" auf Hamburg. Die vom Wuppertal Institut erstellte Studie ist eine erste Anwendung dort entwickelter Nachhaltigkeitsvisionen für eine Großstadt.
