The European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet) consists of more than 100 organisations assembling marine data, products and metadata to make these fragmented data resources more available to public and private users relying on quality-assured, standardised and harmonised marine data which are interoperable and free of restrictions on use. EMODnet is currently in its fourth phase. BGR participates in the EMODnet Geology theme and is coordinating the “seafloor geology” work package from the beginning. In cooperation with the project partners BGR compiles and harmonises GIS data layers on the topics geomorphology, pre-Quaternary and Quaternary geology and provides those, based on INSPIRE principles, via the EMODnet Geology portal https://www. emodnet-geology.eu/map-viewer/. These map layers present the pre-Quaternary and Quaternary sea-floor geology and Geomorphology of the European Seas, semantically harmonized based on the INSPIRE data specifications including the terms for lithology, age, event environment, event process and geomorphology. The data are compiled from the project partners, the national geological survey organizations of the participating countries. The data set represents the most detailed available data compilation of the European Seas using a multiresolution approach. Data completeness depending on the availability of data and actual mapping campaigns. This open and freely accessible product was made available by the EMODnet Geology project (https://www.emodnet-geology.eu/), implemented by EMODnet Geology Phase IV partners, and funded by the European Commission Directorate General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries. These data were compiled by BGR from the EMODnet IV Geology partners. All ownership rights of the original data remain with the data originators, who are acknowledged within the attribute values of each map feature.
Am 22. August 2017 starb Tony de Brum, der ehemalige Außenminister der Republik der Marshall Inseln nach langer Krankheit. Als Außenminister der Marshall-Inseln, der er mehrfach war, zuletzt von 2014 bis 2016, kämpfte Tony de Brum für das Überleben des kleinen Inselstaates im Pazifik, der vom Klimawandel besonders betroffen ist. Auf dem Klimagipfel in Paris 2015 gelang es ihm, eine "Koalition der Ehrgeizigen" zu schmieden – ein Bündnis gegen all die Bremser und Zauderer, an denen die internationale Klimadiplomatie bis dahin zu oft gescheitert war. Dass die Staatengemeinschaft sich in Paris auf das erste völkerrechtlich verbindliche Klimaschutzabkommen verständigt hat, ist nicht zuletzt das Verdienst von Tony de Brum. Dafür wurde er 2015 mit dem alternativen Nobelpreis der Right Livelihood Foundation ausgezeichnet.
Die Karte oberflächennaher Rohstoffe 1:200.000 (KOR 200) ist ein Kartenwerk, das gemeinsam von der Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe und den Staatlichen Geologischen Diensten der Länder (SGD) im Auftrag des Bundesministers für Wirtschaft und Arbeit auf Beschluss der Länderwirtschaftsminister vom 22. Juni 1984 erarbeitet wird. Das Kartenwerk folgt dem Blattschnitt der topographischen Übersichtskarte 1:200.000 (TÜK 200) und besteht aus 55 Kartenblättern mit jeweils einem Erläuterungsheft. Es erfolgt eine Bestandsaufnahme, Beschreibung, Darstellung und Dokumentation der Vorkommen und Lagerstätten von mineralischen Rohstoffe, die üblicherweise im Tagebau bzw. an oder nahe der Erdoberfläche gewonnen werden. Im Besonderen sind dies Industrieminerale, Steine und Erden, Torfe, Braunkohle, Ölschiefer und Solen. Die Darstellung der oberflächennahen Rohstoffe und die zusätzlichen schriftlichen Informationen sind für die Erarbeitung überregionaler, bundesweiter Planungsunterlagen, die die Nutzung oberflächennaher mineralischer Rohstoffe berühren, unentbehrlich. Auf der Karte sind neben den umgrenzten, je nach Rohstoff farblich unterschiedlich dargestellten Lagerstätten- bzw. Rohstoffflächen "Abbaustellen" (=Betriebe) bzw. "Schwerpunkte mehrerer Abbaustellen" mit je einem Symbol dargestellt. Die Eintragungen in der Karte werden ergänzt durch Texterläuterungen. Die Erläuterungsbände haben üblicherweise einen Umfang von 40 - 80 Seiten und sind derzeit nur in der gedruckten Ausgabe der Karte verfügbar. Der Text ist gegliedert in: - Einführung - Beschreibung der Lagerstätten und Vorkommen nutzbarer Gesteine - Rohstoffwirtschaftliche Bewertung der Lagerstätten und Vorkommen oberflächennaher Rohstoffe im Blattgebiet - Verwertungsmöglichkeiten der im Blattgebiet vorkommenden nutzbaren Gesteine - Schriftenverzeichnis - Anhang (u. a. mit Generallegende und Blattübersicht) Die KOR 200 stellt somit die Rohstoffpotentiale in Deutschland in bundesweit vergleichbarer Weise dar und liefert eine Grundlage für künftige Such- und Erkundungsarbeiten sowie einen Beitrag zur Sicherung der Rohstoffversorgung.

Systems analysis could be an essential approach to shape resource efficiency policy in a sustainable long term perspective. Various actors and stakeholders with partly opposing interests form part of a highly interconnected system. The integration of causal chains, feedback loops and delays within the system are therefore central to identify the right leverage point for resource efficiency policy. In the SimRess project a participatory approach helped designing the simulation model. The present report documents and summarizes the various results of the workshops and the systems analysis.

Internationale UBA-Konferenz berät über nachhaltige Wohlstandsmodelle Konzepte für Grüne Zukunftsmärkte und eine ‘Green Economy‘ stehen im Mittelpunkt der internationalen UBA-Konferenz „Green Markets - World of Sustainable Products“ am 29. und 30.09.2011 in der Urania Berlin. ‘Green Economy‘ steht für ein energie- und ressourceneffizientes Wirtschaften. Damit soll weltweit eine nachhaltige Entwicklung initiiert werden, die Armut abbaut und ökologische Grenzen einhält. Einen wichtigen Schritt dazu bilden Investitionen in grüne Zukunftsmärkte. Die Tagung findet im Vorfeld der Rio+20-Konferenz im Juni 2012 statt, bei der die internationale Staatengemeinschaft über Wege zur ökologischen Modernisierung von Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft verhandelt. „Green Economy ist eine Schlüsselstrategie um Hunger und Armut in der Welt erfolgreich zu bekämpfen und die weltweite wirtschaftliche Entwicklung in den Grenzen der ökologischen Belastbarkeit unseres Planeten zu halten“, sagt UBA-Präsident Jochen Flasbarth. The pathway to a green economy provides industrial and developing countries with the prospect of ensuring prosperity without encroaching on the limits of the environment. In June 2012 – 20 years after the 1992 Rio Conference – the international community will gather at the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD). At this so-called ‘Rio +20’ Conference the parties to the conference will discuss how the global community can move towards becoming an environmentally friendly, resource-saving and energy-efficient ‘green economy.’ Flasbarth comments, “Environmental protection may not be regarded as a niche policy. Development towards a green economy not only affects green sectors, but the very core of the economy“. Investment in green future markets lays the groundwork for a green economy. The Federal Ministry of Environment and the Federal Environment Agency have identified six green lead markets for Germany: environmentally friendly energy production, energy efficiency, material and resource efficiency, sustainable mobility, sustainable water management, and waste and recycling management. On a global scale these markets alone hold enormous potential valued at up to 3.1 trillion euros by 2020. The Roadmap to a Resource Efficient Europe, published on 20 September 2011, details the key components for a transition to an energy and resource-efficient economy in Europe. European Commissioner for Environment Janez Potočnik comments, “In a cooperative effort of Member States and interest groups in industry and civil society, we must create the conditions in which our economy can undergo fundamental changes in the coming years. We must send the right market signals, abolish subsidies harmful to the environment, and promote sustainable production and consumption.” Resource efficiency must be borne in mind in all policy-making areas- from waste management, research and innovation, to energy and transport. If nothing else, a true green economy will help to reduce absolute poverty in developing countries. The UN Environment Programme-led Green Economy Initiative of 2008 launched has made several proposals to this end. UNECE General Secretary Ján Kubiš comments, “Investment in natural capital—water, soil, ecosystems- not only makes an important contribution to global climate protection and the preservation of biodiversity, it also represents an investment in the economic viability of billions of people“.

Adequate access to water, hygiene and sanitation (WASH) is every human̷s and child̷s right. Ensuring WASH accessibility in schools is encompassed in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and is a priority area under the Protocol on Water and Health to the 1992 Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes. This publication summarizes the status of WASH in schools in the pan-European region. Available evidence was retrieved from scientific literature, national and international surveys and a desk review of case studies. The data show general progress in WASH policies and targets, but a concurrent lack of translation of this progress into efficient improvement of WASH in schools. Gaps and challenges are found as a result of non-comprehensive standards, inefficient coordination and inadequate surveillance and monitoring indicators. Further, neglected disparities and inequalities are observed through the region. WASH conditions do not reflect policies̷ aspirations and are not adequate to pupils̷ needs, affecting their health, well-being and performance at school. The main challenges across the region are related in particular to inadequate cleanliness and provision of consumables, as well as maintenance of sanitation facilities and accessibility to safe drinking-water. Policy-making needs to be supported by evidence-based information, especially on neglected topics such as menstrual hygiene management. Quelle: http://www.susana.org

Resources, including minerals and metals, underpin the world's economies for almost all sectors, providing crucial raw materials for their industrial processes. Despite efforts to decouple economies from resource use towards a circular economy, demand for extractive resources will continue to grow on the back of emerging economies. The report maps existing international governance frameworks and initiatives which have overlapping subsets that focus on delivering the 2030 Global Agenda for Sustainable Development. In this report, the International Resource Panel (IRP) of the UN Environment Programme highlights that the mining sector, if carefully managed, presents enormous opportunities for advancing sustainable development, particularly in low-income countries. As discussed in Chapter 5, extractive industries place large demands on natural resources such as land and water. Its activities can lead to polluting water resources, biodiversity loss and ecosystem destruction including land degradation and desertification. Therefore, there is a need to look at the dynamic relationships between mining, and land and water. This calls for a systems-thinking approach that accounts for the nexus between resources so as to steer policy efforts towards integrated natural resource management along the mining value chain. The report maps existing international governance frameworks and initiatives which have overlapping subsets that focus on delivering the 2030 Global Agenda for Sustainable Development. It presents the practical actions required to improve the international governance architecture for mining to enhance its contribution towards sustainable development. It calls for a new governance framework for the extractive sector referred to as the "Sustainable Development Licence to Operate" which includes consensus-based principles, policy options and best practices that are compatible with the Sustainable Development Goals and other international policy commitments. Minerals and metals underpin national economies, provide crucial raw materials for industrial activities, and are inputs to almost every sector of the global economy. Demand for extractive resources will continue to grow on the back of emerging economies with expanding and increasingly affluent and urban populations and a global transition towards low-carbon but metal-intensive energy production technologies. This is despite efforts to decouple economies from resource use and towards greater recycling. The frequently severe and enduring environmental impacts of mining highlight the need to carefully balance such activities with stewardship of other valuable natural resources and the environment including ecosystems and biodiversity, and the rights of local people and communities. Decision-making in the extractive sector is shaped by a complex array of governance frameworks and initiatives operating along highly globalized mineral value chains. There is an urgent need to coordinate and reform this governance landscape to address enduring challenges such as commodity price volatility, lack of linkages between mining and other economic sectors, inadequate management of environmental impact, and socio- and geopolitical risks of mining. The report maps over 80 existing international governance frameworks and initiatives which focus on delivering overlapping subsets of the 2030 Global Agenda for Sustainable Development, but do not currently operate in a sufficiently coordinated or integrated manner. In this context, the report calls for a new governance framework for the extractive sector referred to as the "Sustainable Development Licence to Operate" and includes consensusbased principles, policy options and best practices that are compatible with the Sustainable Development Goals and other international policy commitments. The report discusses practical actions to improve the international governance architecture for mining to enhance its contribution towards sustainable development. The proposals include reaching an international consensus regarding the normative content and structure of the Sustainable Development Licence to Operate informed by expert inputs from a "Highlevel Panel on Mining for Sustainable Development". It further considers the creation of an International Mineral Agency to share relevant information and data. Governments could also reach bilateral and plurilateral agreements regarding security of supply of raw materials and resource-driven development. Periodical reporting of progress towards sustainable development could be enabled through a Global "State of the Extractive Sector" review or equivalent process. Quelle: Verlagsinformation
While resource efficiency is still not a priority for most municipalities today, various projects and measures to optimise material flows and cycles are being implemented by municipal actors, primarily on a sectoral basis. Examples of integrated and more horizontal perceptions and approaches are also starting to appear. What is clear is that on a local and regional level, it is inconceivable that there can be a comprehensive optimisation of material cycles and material flows to increase resource efficiency without municipal actors being involved. Municipalities are therefore crucial to the success of resource policies. To increase resource efficiency, it is essential that municipalities take on a variety of roles and be involved in all kinds of activities. Municipalities are initiators, coordinators, moderators, implementers, partners, financiers and supporters of measures to improve resource conservation. To be able to fulfil the above roles and launch and implement measures, the right institutional framework conditions within the administration, such as suitable processes and organisational and communications structures, are helpful. Projects are also boosted when there are defined and binding municipal objectives, strategies and guiding principles. A legal framework, such as statutory provisions and regulations, and the definition of standards are also important levers for optimising material cycles. Municipalities are also crucial for promoting awareness, raising the profile and conveying the reliability of resource efficiency projects on a local level. Municipalities can fulfil central roles and services to optimise material cycles and flows, and already do so, however there remains considerable potential in many areas. It should be noted that material flow optimisation in its entirety is not a statutory obligation for municipalities and that all kinds of approaches are being taken as a matter of choice. For comprehensive optimisation of material flows and to make best use of the available opportunities, more information and support is needed to help municipal actors with resource efficiency, for example from the federal government. Support for the development of a mission statement on "resource-efficient municipalities" could also make an important contribution to the establishment of comprehensive and integrated municipal strategies and measures. The sustainable use of natural resources is one of the greatest challenges our society faces. This has been recognised by politicians on an international, European and national level and substantial efforts are being made to promote their sustainable use. It was stated in Germany national resource efficiency programme (ProgRess II) that the federal government should be promoting a policy of resource efficiency at a municipal and regional level, supporting municipal activities to align business development more closely with resource efficiency and the closure of regional cycles. In addition it will provide information and advice on other resource-relevant areas at a municipal level (for example procurement, housing associations, companies in the circular economy, public utilities, transport companies) in consultation with associations and organisations. Against this backdrop, resource efficiency and thus the optimisation of material flows and cycles in municipalities can be expected to play a crucial role in future. Quelle: Forschungsbericht
