Kleine stehende Gewässer, wie Tümpel, Fisch- und Löschteiche, Gruben, Moorgewässer oder kleine Seen unterscheiden sich in Größe, Entstehung und Nutzung. Sie sind beliebte Landschaftselemente und wichtige Lebensräume für viele Pflanzen und Tiere, darunter gefährdete Amphibien. Zudem wirken sie als Trittsteine im Biotopverbund und als Wasser- und Stoff Speicher. Für den Erhalt von Pflanzen- und Tierarten am und im Gewässer sind sie besonders bedeutsam.
This publication provides an overview about data of the German PRTR (Pollutant Release and Transfer Register). For each pollutant, the number of reported facilities and their releases to air, water and land and their off-site transfer in waste water are clearly displayed. Data for industrial sectors of the current reporting year 2024 are summarized in tables while their developments since 2007 are presented in diagrams. Detailed information and search options within the PRTR are available at www.Thru.de.
In dieser Publikation wird ein Überblick über die Daten des deutschen PRTR (Pollutant Release and Transfer Register) gegeben. Für jeden Schadstoff werden die Anzahl der gemeldeten Betriebe und deren Freisetzungen in Luft, Wasser und Boden, sowie deren Verbringungen mit dem Abwasser übersichtlich dargestellt. Getrennt nach Industriebranchen werden Daten für das aktuelle Berichtsjahr 2024 in Tabellen und die Entwicklung seit 2007 in Diagrammen zusammengefasst. Ausführliche Informationen und Recherchemöglichkeiten zum PRTR bietet das Portal Thru.de.
Der vorliegende Bericht basiert auf den Meldungen der Länder an das Bundesministerium für Gesundheit (BMG) und das Umweltbundesamt (UBA) über den Zeitraum von 2020 bis 2022. Die Form des Berichtes beruht auf dem von der EU-Kommission vorgegebenen Berichtsformat, das für die jährlichen Berichte der Länderbehörden verbindlich ist. 2022 wurden in Deutschland 74,1 Mio. Personen, das sind 88,6 % der Bevölkerung, mit 4 443,12 Mio. m3 Trinkwasser in 2 507 Wasserversorgungsgebieten (WVG) versorgt, in denen jeweils mehr als 1 000 m3 Trinkwasser pro Tag verteilt oder mehr als 5 000 Personen versorgt werden. Das Rohwasser für diese Trinkwassergewinnungen kommt zu 67,6 % aus Grundwasser, zu 15,9 % aus Oberflächenwasser und zu 16,5 % aus sonstigen Ressourcen wie Uferfiltrat oder künstlich angereichertem Grundwasser. Das Trinkwasser in diesen Wasserversorgungsgebieten ist von sehr guter Qualität. Bei den meisten mikrobiologischen und chemischen Qualitätsparametern erfüllten über 99 % der untersuchten Proben die Anforderungen der Trinkwasserverordnung, d. h., die Grenzwerte wurden eingehalten.
The world is entering a digital era that changes everyday business practices and lifestyles. Digital technologies are said to support sustainable development and create untapped potentials in many areas, for instance, by reducing energy and resource consumption. However, social and ecological drawbacks have become much more apparent where digitalisation has not lived up to its ascribed potentials. Over the past years, voices have become louder advocating for a green and digital twin transition. Similarly, the European Commission has supported the twin transition by setting it as a priority in line with the European Green Deal. This report presents project findings on how to support the twin transition through a concept of digital sufficiency. A premise of sufficiency as a guiding principle for the digital transformation is that technological innovation alone cannot solve societal problems. Unsustainable practices and behaviours must be either reduced or replaced by sustainable alternatives. The aim of this report is to support the German government’s position in EU debates and to formulate recommendations for priorities for action, which the government can link to the activities of the European Commission. This is done by drawing on an analysis of the role of the German Council Presidency in supporting the twin transition in Europe, both an online survey and an expert workshop on digital sufficiency as well as a literature analysis to deepen some of the expert discussions. Our analyses find that although digital sufficiency has potentials to bring new perspectives into existing debates, work on the concept is still in its infancy. Future work needs to frame the concept and link it to existing policy debates to make it relevant for policy. This report provides the first building block towards carrying out this work and outlines policy recommendations towards supporting the twin transition through digital sufficiency.
The European Green Deal states that moving from a linear to a circular economy is a key strategy to reduce resource consumption by repairing, reusing, remanufacturing, and recycling materials and products. Yet, the establishment of a circular economy in the European Union (EU) is still in an early stage. This report thus outlines how digitalisation can support the implementation of a circular economy and discusses the key role that governance for circularity can play in this context. The overall aim is to formulate recommendations for priorities for action, which the German government can link to the activities of the European Commission. The recommendations are based on an analysis of the role of Germany’s Presidency of the Council of the EU regarding topics related to digitalisation and sustainability (REPORT 1), an expert workshop on digital circular economy (DCE) carried out in April 2022 and a literature review that deepened some of the workshop discussions. The analysis found that the potentials of a DCE are manifold and relate to improving products and business models along the entire circular value chain. Underlying these potentials is often the use of digital technologies for product tracking and monitoring as well as for a transparent digital data exchange. Further, it is argued that governance for circularity can be a key issue to empower stakeholders to move towards a DCE. Based on these findings, recommendations for EU and national policy makers are outlined to support the development of a systemic and coherent strategy for a DCE within the EU.
This report analyses the role of Germany’s Presidency of the Council of the European Union, which took place from 1 July until 31 December 2020, concerning the topics of digitalisation and sustainability. A document analysis of press releases, articles, and speeches as well as relevant background reports published during the German Council Presidency revealed that the discourse on digitalisation and sustainability revolved around three nexuses: 1. "Sustainable digitalisation", 2. "Digitalisation for sustainability", and 3. "Digitalisation and sustainability in silos". Discussions focused primarily on four areas: environment, transport and mobility, digital economy, and recovery. Based on the results of the analysis, we first suggest future priorities in these areas. Second, additional potential future priority areas are discussed, namely circular economy, energy systems, housing, and biodiversity. Third, we propose additional perspectives that might be relevant for future debates. Finally, we analyse the interlinkages between digitalisation and sustainability within the policy documents and how additional policy frameworks can be fruitfully included in future debates.
