This dataset provides data on how much financial, capacity building and technology support the EU Member States and other countries have either planned, committed, or provided to developing countries in relation to climate change mitigation or adaptation. The dataset holds further details on the provided support, e.g., the recipient of support, the financial instrument, the funding source, the concrete projects which benefited or the targeted sector. The Member States submit their data to the European Environment Agency (EEA) via the online platform Reportnet 3. Reporting is mandatory for EU Member States. Some information is only mandatory to report if the data is available. The data is then quality checked by DG CLIMA at the European Commission. DG CLIMA also performs aggregation of the data and combines them with other data sources (European Investment Bank, European Commission). This data is being collected under Article 19 of the Governance Regulation 2018/1999. The Regulation aims to help the EU meet its 2030 climate and energy targets by setting common rules for planning, reporting and monitoring. The Regulation also ensures that EU planning and reporting are synchronised with the ambition cycles under the Paris Agreement. Within the data download, there is an additional document providing detailed statistical metadata information on this dataset.
This dataset contains quality-controlled in situ river discharge observations used in the river discharge analysis of the 2024 edition of the State of Global Water Resources Report. The data include daily and monthly discharge values from 1833 stations in 25 countries covering the years 1991-2024. They were contributed by WMO Members through their National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) to the Global Runoff Data Centre (GRDC). The report, published annually by WMO, provides a comprehensive quantitative overview of global water resources, with a focus on hydrological variability and trends. It supports countries, decision makers and stakeholders in understanding the current state of global water resources, identifying hotspots and supporting effective water management strategies.

Die Möglichkeit, eine staatliche Förderung für die Errichtung von Photovoltaik(PV)-Freiflächenanlagen auf wiedervernässten, vormals entwässerten und landwirtschaftlich genutzten Moorstandorten zu erhalten (Moor-PV-Anlagen), besteht seit Inkrafttreten des Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetzes (EEG) 2023. Der Beitrag präsentiert einen Ausschnitt der Inhalte und Ergebnisse eines vom Bundesamt für Naturschutz (BfN) geförderten Forschungs- und Entwicklungsvorhabens. Dargestellt werden der Kenntnisstand zu ökologischen Auswirkungen von Moor-PV-Anlagen, zulassungs-und planungsrechtliche Hemmnisse sowie sozioökonomische Herausforderungen. Zu den zentralen Ergebnissen des Projekts zählt, dass der Kenntnisstand zu den ökologischen Auswirkungen von Moor-PV-Anlagen nicht ausreichend ist, was durch eine internationale Literaturanalyse unterlegt wird. Es sollten rechtliche Anpassungen auf der Zulassungs- wie auch auf der planerischen Ebene vorgenommen und die Möglichkeiten eines sozioökonomischen Interessenausgleichs optimiert bzw. weiterentwickelt werden. Es wird explizit empfohlen, ein Verbot der Errichtung und des Betriebs von PV-Anlagen auf entwässerten Moorstandorten im Bundesnaturschutzgesetz (BNatSchG) oder im Wasserhaushaltsgesetz (WHG) zu verankern. Dieses Verbot würde zusammen mit einer finanziellen Förderung von Moor-PV-Vorhaben den künftigen Fokus auf eine Mehrfachnutzung von Flächen für Klima-, Moor- und Biodiversitätsschutz lenken und Hemmnisse durch PV-Anlagen für eine spätere Wiedervernässung vermeiden.
Der Grossteil der Imissionen ist das Ergebnis auslaendischer Emissionen. Daraus ziehen viele den Schluss, dass Massnahmen vor Ort wirtschaftlicher sind (vgl deutsche Subventionierung bei der Entschwefelung tschechischer Kraftwerke). Dies provoziert jedoch strategische Reaktionen, was die Effizienz dieses Vorschlages stark mildert (Uebernahme des Datensatzes aus der Datenbank FORIS des Informationszentrum Sozialwissenschaften, Bonn)
The EU Climate Policy Tracker (EU CPT) presents up-to-date developments in climate and energy policies in the EU-27. Although government policy is the single most influential driver behind the fight against climate change, there is limited information about the status of the policies that influence increases or decreases in emissions. The EU Climate Policy Tracker (EU CPT) is intended to bridge this gap. The project holds two references in focus at the same time: a 2050 goal of near total decarbonisation, and our current policy trajectory. A uniquely developed scoring method, modelled on appliance efficiency labels (A-G), gives an indication of how Member States are doing compared to a low-carbon policy package. This results in aggregated scores, supported with a rich background of information, for all Member States, at EU level, and for different economic sectors. The project is intended to be a resource for those seeking information, a means of sharing best practice, and a way of holding policymakers to account. In 2011 we updated our initial rating from November 2010. The findings of 2010 showed that the average score across the EU was an E, indicating that the level of effort needed to treble to be on track to reach the 2050 vision. Looking at the developments in 2011, we can see that there has been considerable activity in many countries, though the overall scoring has generally remained constant: positive actions are counteracted by negative developments or budget cuts. The EU CPT is a joint project by Ecofys and WWF. The project is funded by the European Climate Foundation. Visit the EU Climate Policy Tracker on: www.climatepolicytracker.eu.
This report is an update of the country profiles that ECOFYS has produced together with national experts since 2004. They contain detailed information about policies applied in the electricity, heat and transport sector as well as deployment and potential data. The core objective of the project led by FRAUNHOFER-ISI is to assist Member State governments in implementing the Renewable Energy Directive and to guide a European policy for RES in the mid- to long-term. Publications so far include: - 'Indicators assessing the performance of renewable energy support policies in 27 Member States' (2011 update upcoming) - 'Review report on support schemes for renewable electricity and heating in Europe' - 'Design options for cooperation mechanisms between Member States under the Renewable Energy Directive' - 'A smart power market at the centre of a smart grid'.

The impact of matter input from terrestrial sources on aquatic systems is well known. The reverse process, i.e. the transport from water (source) to land (sink) in aquatic-terrestrial metaecosystems, has received less attention. In SystemLink, we focus on the bottom-up and topdown mediated interactions in terrestrial ecosystems, which propagate from aquatic environments as a result of their exposure to anthropogenic stress. We consider micropollutants (fungicides and insecticides) and invasive species (riparian plants and invertebrates) as important manifestations of multiple stressors in disturbed aquatic ecosystems. We hypothesise that 1) invasive invertebrates and insecticide exposure and 2) invasive riparian plants and fungicide exposure cause top-down and bottom-up mediated responses in terrestrial ecosystems, respectively. We test these general and several more specific hypotheses through collaborative experiments in replicated outdoor aquatic-terrestrial mesocosms (site-scale) amended by joint pot experiments (batch-scale), field studies (landscape-scale), and modelling. All experimental setups will be derived from the landscape scale representing a multi-stress environment. Several scales will regularly be combined to overcome scale-specific restrictions and to ensure both cause-effect quantification as well as environmental relevance of the results. Ultimately, SystemLink thrives to increase our knowledge on effect translation across ecosystem boundaries. By integrating biogeochemical fluxes and biological subsidies we will be able to quantify their relative importance. Furthermore, we will closely combine the often-separated aquatic and terrestrial research areas. The qualification program comprises three pillars: First, research teams of two to four PhD students will work on related scientific problems; their cooperation will become evident through joint presentations and scientific publications. Second, the establishment of a fasttrack study will promote the scientific career of talented students from secondary school until the PhD phase. Third, each participating student will receive a documented and regularly updated Research and Study Profile tailoring their PhD program to their individual needs. The principal investigators of this proposal were specifically recruited to represent a variety of complementary disciplines. Their cooperation forms the basis for the interdisciplinary research focus on 'environment' as one of three central topics at the University Koblenz-Landau.
Pasturing forest sites is mostly considered as detrimental for tree growth and, associated with that, crucial for the protective function of the forests against avalanches. New laws as well as the use of subsidies for the separation of forest and pastures shall accelerate the cessation of forest pasturing. It is however unclear whether pasturing is detrimental in any case or whether the application of an appropriate livestock system might even support tree development. The general aim of the project is to determine the effects of pasturing on mountain forest structure and dynamics under different stocking rates and pasturing period lenghts. This is a joint project headed by the Swiss Federal Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research (SLF). The part of the project which focusses on animal nutrition particularly deals with the measurement of intake and composition of the selected herbage on these pastures. Data on food intake and food quality should allow to determine the threshold levels, when food scarceness will enhance damage of trees by their use as fodder alternatives, or by tread damages. The project is carried out in the frame of the WSL Research Programme Forest-Wildlife-Landscape. The project is also in part forming a component project within the ETH polyproject 'Sustainable Primary Production in the Alpine Region' (PRIMALP).
