ULYSSES: Urbane Lebensstile, Nachhaltigkeit und integrierte Umweltbewertung

Description: Der europaweite, durch die TUD koordinierte Forschungsverbund geht der Fragestellung nach, wie unter der Zunahme von Unsicherheit und Komplexitaet eine integrierte Abschaetzung der Umweltentwicklung insbesondere im globalen Klimabereich vorgenommen werden kann. Ein methodischer Anknuepfungspunkt liegt fuer das Projekt in der Kombination von entwickelten Klimamodellen mit sozialen Lernprozessen, wie sie in focussierten Diskussionsgruppen initiiert werden koennen. Derartige Diskussionsgruppen, sog. IA-Folusgruppen, werden in Darmstadt/Rhein-Main, Milano, Barcelona, Manchester, Athen und Stockholm vorwiegend mit Laien durchgefuehrt, ausgewertet und verglichen.

  Title: ULYSSES: Urban Lifestyles, Sustainability and Integrated Environmental Assessment
  Description: The task of ULYSSES is to develop a methodology that opens a new channel of communication between practitioners and users of information that stem from environmental science in general, from computer models in particular. This shall be done by including a monitored social process, the IEA-jury, into the assessment method. ULYSSES will develop an advanced IEA-methodology aimed and integrating cultural heterogenities and peculiarities of different EU-regions into a community-wide climate policy. To achieve this goal, the project will set up jury processes in a variety of European urban regions. The juries will discuss climate change issues with respect to regional development options. In situations of complexity involving environmental risks, what can IEA contribute to the design of environmental policies? How can the basic problem of current IEA - divergence of scientific knowledge and social/political rationality - be overcome? How can future IEA-models be designed so as to be a suitable input for social decision processes? How can social perceptions and 'framings' of environmental uncertainties be integrated in the production of scientific knowledge? How can the interface between science and policy be developed so as to foster both high quality research and public support for an effective European environmental policy? Hypotheses relate two the role of science in climate policy, the use of computer modelling in integrated assessment, and to IEA juries. The use of computer models in the framework of IEA-juries creates a setting in which the long-standing ability of democracies to handle a plurality of legitimate beliefs is combined with the more recent ability of science to acknowledge the complexity of important phenomena. Along these lines, environmental policy could become a fertile ground for pioneering experiences in redefining the interface between science and policy-making. This approach has been cast in the term of Postnormal Science. This idea can be used to provide guidance for the choice of appropriate problem-solving strategies. It focusses on the interaction of systems uncertainties and decision stakes, and defines mission-oriented 'applied science', and client-serving 'professional consultancy', and issue-driven 'post-normal science'. In order to develop advanced tools of IEA, a suitable frame for test assessments must be defned. The proposed IEA-methodology will be developed and tested in groups investigating the relationship between climate policy and urban lifestyles. This brings issues of global change and sustainable development to a level where people can link them with their personal experiences. Therefore, ULYSSES will focus on climate policy options for urban regions.
