Das Projekt "Energiewende integrativ - Entwicklung eines transformativen Forschungsdesigns am Beispiel der Energiewende Ruhr" (EnerTransRuhr) behandelte vordergründig die Energiewende im Gebäudebereich. Auf dieses Thema fokussierten sämtliche Arbeiten und Untersuchungen, die im Rahmen des Projekts durchgeführt wurden. Im Kern aber ging es um die Frage, wie ein Projektdesign im Verständnis transformativer Wissenschaft inhaltlich und methodisch aussieht, das einzelne Disziplinen und Methoden ebenso integriert wie in transdisziplinären Prozessen das Wissen und die Expertise von nicht wissenschaftlichen Projektbeteiligten.
The future belongs to the youth, but do they really have a say in it? Learning processes with regard to a successful socio-ecological change must start in childhood and adolescence in order to succeed in social transformation. The youth cannot be a passive part in a changing society - they have to be actively included in its design. When allowed to participate, young people can make important and effective contributions - which should not be reduced to sub-projects and opportunity structures. In a socio-political context, participation means involvement, collaboration, and commitment. In the context of intra- and inter-generational equity, as the core part of sustainable development, participation strategies should be developed that allow for a permanent and purposeful involvement of children and adolescents. Participation of young people is an important and appropriate step in strengthening those who are so strongly affected by the planning processes but are otherwise powerless. A successful involvement and participation of non-professional actors requires a target group-oriented method, a supportive culture of participation, as well as clarity and decision latitude. Abiding by these rules leads to central results.
Die Energiewende regional gestalten : auf dem Weg zu einer Energiewende-Roadmap im Ruhrgebiet
(2017)
Diese Broschüre ist ein Produkt des Rahmenprogramms zur Umsetzung der Energiewende in den Kommunen des Ruhrgebiets: Die Aufgabe des Projektes bestand darin auszuloten, in welcher Weise Kommunen ihre Handlungskapazitäten zur Umsetzung der Energiewende in der Region bewahren beziehungsweise perspektivisch erweitern können.
Das Rahmenprogramm steuerte in seiner dreijährigen Projektlaufzeit (2013-2016) einen Beitrag zur Analyse der Handlungsfähigkeit von Kommunen im Ruhrgebiet zur Umsetzung der Energiewende bei und systematisierte bisherige Handlungsansätze in der Region. Es setzte an bestehenden Rahmenbedingungen an und versuchte, in Zusammenarbeit mit regionalen Akteurinnen und Akteuren künftige Handlungsansätze für eine langfristig angelegte Umsetzung der Energiewende in der Region zu identifizieren. Das vorliegende Dokument führt Ergebnisse des Projektes zusammen und formuliert strategische Hinweise für die weitere Umsetzung der Energiewende im Ruhrgebiet.
The transformation processes towards a sustainable development are complex. How can science contribute towards new solutions and ideas leading to change in practice? The authors of this book discuss these questions along the energy transition in the building sector.
A transformative research that leaves the neutral observer position needs appropriate concepts and methods: how can knowledge from different disciplines and from practice be integrated in order to be able to explain and understand complex circumstances and interrelations? What role do complex (agent-based) models and experiments play in this respect? Which mix of methods is required in transformative science in order to actively support the actors in transformation processes?
Theses questions are illustrated by the example of the BMBF funded project "EnerTransRuhr".
In recent years, a number of energy scenario studies which aim to advise policy makers on appropriate energy policy measures have been developed. These studies highlight changes required to achieve a future energy system that is in line with public policy goals such as reduced greenhouse gas emissions and an affordable energy supply. We argue that behavioural changes towards energy-sufficient lifestyles have considerable potential to contribute to public policy goals and may even be indispensable for achieving some of these goals. This potential should, therefore, be reflected in scenario studies aiming to provide comprehensive advice to policy makers. We analyse the role that energy-sufficient lifestyles play in prominent recent global energy scenario studies and find that these studies largely ignore the potential of possible behavioural changes towards energy-sufficient lifestyles. We also describe how such changes have been considered in several other scenario studies, in order to derive recommendations for the future development of global energy scenarios. We conclude that the inclusion of lifestyle changes in energy scenarios is both possible and useful. Based on our findings, we present some general advice for energy scenario developers on how to better integrate sufficiency into future energy scenario studies in a quantitative manner.
