In vielen deutschen Städten sinken die verkehrsbedingten CO2-Emissionen kaum und vor allem die Belastungen durch Luftschadstoffe aus dem Straßenverkehr sind weiterhin sehr hoch. Deshalb beklagt die Deutsche Umwelthilfe inzwischen über 30 Städte in Deutschland, um durch Fahrverbote für Dieselfahrzeuge das Recht der Menschen auf saubere Atemluft durchzusetzen. Daher suchen die Kommunen zunehmend Wege, die verkehrsbedingten Emissionen zu senken. Dabei kommt kommunalen Flottenbetreibern eine besondere Rolle zu. Sie stehen besonders unter Handlungsdruck, weil durch ein Fahrverbot für Dieselfahrzeuge diese nur noch sehr eingeschränkt eingesetzt werden könnten.
The Wuppertal Institute conducted an impact analysis of the NRW sustainability bond #5 of 2019 on behalf of the State government of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW). The most recent bond has a volume of EUR 2.25 bn, a term of 15 years and consists of 52 eligible projects from the State's 2018 general budget (sustainable value-added was confirmed in a second party opinion by ISS-oekom). This report analyses the contribution of the bond to climate mitigation, sustainable land use and social impacts. It also includes information on the impacts of the previous four bonds (NRW sustainability bond #1 to #4).
The Wuppertal Institute conducted an impact analysis of the NRW Sustainability Bond #4 of 2018 on behalf of the State Government of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW). The most recent bond has a volume of EUR 2.025bn, a term of 10 years and consists of 52 eligible projects from the State's 2017 general budget (sustainable value-added was confirmed in a second party opinion by oekom research1). This report analyses the contribution of the bond to climate mitigation, sustainable land use and social impacts. It also includes information on the impacts of the previous three bonds (NRW Sustainability Bond #1 to #3).
Die vorliegende Broschüre fasst die Ergebnisse des dreijährigen Projektes "BMM HOCH DREI - Betriebliches Mobilitätsmanagement im Bergischen Städtedreieck (Remscheid-Solingen-Wuppertal)" für die Praxis zusammen. Die Broschüre stellt den Quartiersansatz vor, beschreibt den Prozess der Beratung und die Entwicklung von Maßnahmen. Als Ergebnis stellt sie die Potenziale für eine Verkehrsverlagerung und den notwendigen Handlungsbedarf für die Praxis dar.
Climate researchers agree that anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions significantly contribute to climate change, and that radical measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to adapt to the impacts of no longer avoidable climate change are needed. The German Federal Government with its Climate Protection Plan 2050 reinforced its target to reduce Germany's greenhouse gas emissions by 80 to 95 percent compared with 1990. The achievement of these targets requires nothing less than a fundamental transformation of spatial planning.
In the paper a methodology to scientifically assess the likely impacts of possible combinations of policies or strategies to achieve the energy transition, i.e. to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of urban mobility and transport is proposed and demonstrated, using the Ruhr Area, the largest conurbation in Germany, as an example.
The results of the policies examined so far can be summarised as follows: Push measures as high energy prices, speed limits or reduction of the number of lanes of main roads are more effective in reducing greenhouse gas emissions than pull measures as the promotion of cycling, walking, electric cars or public transport. Between policies or policy packages there can be positive or negative synergies, i.e. the impacts of measures can reinforce or weaken each other. The results show that even with ambitious policies the greenhouse gas emission targets of the national and state governments will not be achieved and that more radical policies are needed.
