Koordination und Integration von Umweltfachplanungen und ihr Verhältnis zur Stadtplanung

Die Luftreinhalteplanung verfügt über viele inhaltliche und organisatorische Schnittstellen mit anderen umweltrelevanten Fachplanungen und der Stadtplanung. Im Forschungsprojekt "Koordination und Integration von Umweltfachplanungen und ihr Verhältnis zur Stadtplanung" wurde auf der Basis eines umfangreichen Austauschs mit Fachpersonal aus der kommunalen Verwaltung analysiert, in welcher Weise formale Besonderheiten der Luftreinhalteplanung, aber auch andere Faktoren deren Möglichkeiten zur inhaltlichen und organisatorischen Abstimmung mit anderen Planungen beeinflussen. Wesentliches Ergebnis des Projekts sind 16 Handlungsempfehlungen für eine verbesserte Koordination und Integration. Sie wurden auf Grundlage der Erkenntnisse aus der kommunalen Praxis entwickelt. Inhalte der Handlungsempfehlungen sind Indikatoren, Monitoring, Evaluation und "Forschung vor Ort" zur Verstetigung der Luftreinhalteplanung, inhaltlich breiter aufgestellte Planwerke, gemeinsames Planungsverständnis, organisatorische Nähe und informeller Austausch der beteiligten Dienststellen sowie projektbezogene Teams. Es werden zudem die verbindliche Berücksichtigung von Fachkonzepten in der Bauleitplanung, eine verstärkte gegenseitige Berücksichtigung von Bebauungsplan und Verkehrsentwicklungsplanung, die Berücksichtigung der Luftqualität in der räumlichen Gesamtplanung im Siedlungsbestand sowie die frühzeitige Verankerung von Aspekten der Luftqualität in städtebaulichen Entwurfs- und Wettbewerbsverfahren empfohlen. Der Geltungsbereich von Luftreinhalteplänen soll auf Basis der Wirkungszusammenhänge abgegrenzt, möglichst vollständige und nutzbare Datengrundlagen geschaffen sowie ein regelmäßiger bundesweiter Austausch der Beteiligten der Luftreinhalteplanung initiiert werden.

Luftqualität in der Stadt - gemeinsam weiterdenken

Umweltbezogene Fachplanungen wie die Luftreinhalteplanung, die Lärmaktionsplanung, die Landschaftsplanung, die Verkehrsplanung oder die Klimaanpassungsplanung haben zahlreiche Überscheidungspunkte. In der Praxis werden die unterschiedlichen Planungen jedoch oft unabhängig voneinander erarbeitet, obwohl sich durch eine bessere Integration in vielen Fällen Synergieeffekte ergäben. Das F&E-Vorhaben "Koordination und Integration von Umweltfachplanungen" hat deshalb untersucht, wie sich die umweltbezogenen Planungen besser vernetzen lassen und welche Hindernisse für eine verbesserte Koordination und Integration in der Praxis bestehen und hat konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen für ein besseres Zusammenwirken der Planungen entwickelt. Die Fachbroschüre fasst die wichtigsten Forschungsergebnisse zusammen. Quelle: www.umweltbundesamt.de

Die Koordination von Klimaschutzzielen: Analyse des Klimaschutzgesetzes und der Maßnahmengesetze am Beispiel des EEG

Durch die Einführung des KSG sollte die deutsche Klimaschutzpolitik zentral koordiniert und gesteuert sowie ein übergreifender Rahmen für bestehende oder noch zu ergreifende Einzelmaßnahmen geschaffen werden, durch die letztendlich die Emissionsreduktionsziele erreicht werden. Das Kurzgutachten untersucht am Beispiel des Zusammenspiels zwischen dem KSG und der Steuerung des Ausbaus erneuerbarer Energien durch das EEG 2021, wie sich die Ziele dieses übergreifenden Rahmens mit den zu dessen Ausfüllung aufgestellten Zielen der Fachgesetze verhalten. Dabei werden im Rahmen des Gutachtens sowohl die Zieldefinitionen als auch die in beiden Gesetzen verankerten Zielkontrollmechanismen untersucht. Das Kurzgutachten vergleicht die Regelungen in den Gesetzen und untersucht diese auf bestehende Verknüpfungen. Die hierdurch gezogenen Schlüsse können - unter Berücksichtigung der jeweils geltenden Besonderheiten - auch auf die Verbindung des KSG zu anderen Einzelmaßnahmen übertragen werden.

Förderprogramm für Bürgerenergiegesellschaften in der Vorentwicklungsphase

Ein Förderprogramm für Bürgerenergiegesellschaften in der Vorentwicklungsphase kann mehrere finanzielle Risiken in einem Ausschreibungssystem adressieren. Dies kann den Erhalt der Akteursvielfalt in den Auktionsrunden unterstützen. Die Förderung müssten die Bürgerenergiegesellschaften zurückzahlen, wenn ihr Gebot in den Ausschreibungen erfolgreich ist. Im Rahmen des Förderprogramms kann eine kostenlose Beratung dazu führen, dass Bürgerenergiegesellschaften umsetzbare Projekte planen und größere Aussichten auf einen Zuschlag haben. Die zuständige Beratungsstelle kann dabei klarstellen, wer die Förderung erhält und wie hoch die Chancen sind, dass die finanziellen Mittel zurückfließen. Diese Studie untersucht, wie ein solches Förderprogramm ausgestaltet werden sollte. Das Instrument wird in den Kontext anderer Instrumente zur Verminderung von Risiken für Bürgerenergiegesellschaften eingeordnet, um herauszufinden, ob andere Instrumente geeigneter für den Erhalt der Akteursvielfalt wären. Bestehende Beispiele dieser Förderform werden dargestellt. Quelle: Forschungsbericht

European Union Basin-scale Analysis, Synthesis and Integration (EURO-BASIN)

Objective: EURO-BASIN is designed to advance our understanding on the variability, potential impacts, and feedbacks of global change and anthropogenic forcing on the structure, function and dynamics of the North Atlantic and associated shelf sea ecosystems as well as the key species influencing carbon sequestering and ecosystem functioning. The ultimate goal of the program is to further our capacity to manage these systems in a sustainable manner following the ecosystem approach. Given the scope and the international significance, EURO-BASIN is part of a multidisciplinary international effort linked with similar activities in the US and Canada. EURO-BASIN focuses on a number of key groups characterizing food web types, e.g. diatoms versus microbial loop players; key species copepods of the genus Calanus; pelagic fish, herring (Clupea harengus), mackerel (Scomber scombrus), blue whiting (Micromesistius poutassou) which represent some of the largest fish stocks on the planet; piscivorous pelagic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) and albacore (Thunnus alalunga) all of which serve to structure the ecosystem and thereby influence the flux of carbon from the euphotic zone via the biological carbon pump. In order to establish relationships between these key players, the project identifies and accesses relevant international databases and develops methods to integrate long term observations. These data will be used to perform retrospective analyses on ecosystem and key species/group dynamics, which are augmented by new data from laboratory experiments, mesocosm studies and field programs. These activities serve to advance modelling and predictive capacities based on an ensemble approach where modelling approaches such as size spectrum; mass balance; coupled NPZD; fisheries; and ?end to end? models and as well as ecosystem indicators are combined to develop understanding of the past, present and future dynamics of North Atlantic and shelf sea ecosystems and their living marine resources.

Atmospheric Composition Change: the European Network-Policy Support and Science (ACCENT-PLUS)

Objective: Fragmentation of research efforts, lack of a shared scientific vision and insufficient availability of research tools, shared databases, etc., is a major limitation for the understanding of atmospheric composition change over Europe under a changing climate, and the consequent inadequate transfer of prospects to the decision makers for future policies. The ACCENT-Plus project builds on the successful efforts of the Network of Excellence ACCENT which, over the past six years, has brought together the atmospheric science community engaged in global change and air pollution studies. The integration efforts within the ACCENT Network have produced a stronger cohesion of the community, including research groups from the new EU Member States and have facilitated the engagement of a new generation of scientists who have started their career in the collaborative environment promoted by ACCENT. ACCENT-Plus aims at extending the breath of the previous ACCENT phase to reach out to the policy community, facilitating the transfer of research results into policy/decision making. A prerequisite to reach this goal is to continue fostering the coordination and integration of the European science community, associating with this new effort all partners and associates of the previous ACCENT phase. Joint research programming, contribution to the international research agenda, access to information, training/mobility activities and facilitation in the use of research infrastructures will be key elements of ACCENT-Plus to preserve and enhance the excellence of European research in an ERA context, to produce integrated assessment and synthesis of scientific results and to connect science and policy making by transferring to the decision makers the important links between air quality and climate change and the prospects and benefits of co-control policies.

Coordination of national environment and health research programmes - environment and health ERA-NET (ERA-ENVHEALTH)

Objective: It is estimated that around 20Prozent of the burden of disease in industrialized countries can be attributed to environmental factors, and the magnitude of the problem is perceived by the majority of Europeans. The assessment of health impacts is based mostly on scarce exposure data and limited information on the relationship between exposure and health. There is, therefore, a need to strengthen research in this area and to develop methods and tools which will improve the comparability of data. Member States have developed skills and expertise using different mechanisms to fund environment and health research. The scientific boundaries created by the remits of different funding organisations have frequently acted as a disincentive to collaborative working. Although aims are towards relevance and efficiency, the results remain dispersed and not of actual support for policy-making. Therefore, results of the studies in ERA-ENVHEALTH will lead to the proposal of a coherent set of proposed priorities, implementation of joint activities, and common calls. ERA-ENVHEALTH, by bringing together 16 participants from 10 countries, will contribute to establish collaboration among the different funding organisations of environmental and public health research communities.

Twinning European and South Asian river basins to enhance capacity and implement adaptive integrated water ressources management approaches (BRAHMATWINN)

BRAHMATWINN will enhance capacity to carry out a harmonised integrated water resources management (IWRM) approach as addressed by the European Water Initiative (EWI) in headwater river systems of alpine mountain massifs already impacted from climate change, and to establish transfer of professional IWRM expertise, approaches and tools based on case studies carried out in twinning European and Asian river basins. With altogether eleven work packages (WP) the project addresses all important IWRM issues in a balanced way, including conflict resolution in the trans- boundary twinning Upper Danube River Basin (UDRB) and the Upper Brahmaputra River Basins (UBRB) in Europe and South Asia respectively. In altogether seventy work tasks of the jointly identified WP social and natural scientists in cooperation with water law experts and local stakeholders will realize the project outcomes: (i) an integrated holistic approach and assessment of the transboundary UDRB and UBRB for sustainable IWRM; (ii) integrated indicators to quantify the natural environment and human dimension, selected to assess IWRM vulnerabilities; (iii) an integrated water resources management system (IWRMS) comprising the DANUBIA hydrological model, the river basin information system (RBIS) and the network analysis, creative modelling decision support system NetSyMod; (iv) a set of what-if scenarios, evaluated using the DPSIR approach, and associated adaptive IWRM options tested by means of the IWRMS to mitigate impacts of likely climate change; and (v) IWRM action plans based on the stakeholder negotiation and the governance assessment. The project consortium of altogether fifteen partners from Europe (10 partner) and Asia (5 partner) shares the financial grant requested proportionally and will guarantee the generation of the necessary synergism required to represent the complex system component interaction and to carry out the required knowledge transfer between Europe and Asia.

FP6-INCO, Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems for Supplying of Services in Rural Settlements of Mediterranean Partner Countries (HYRESS)

Objective: The strategic objective of the proposed project is to remove the knowledge barriers against the installation of Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems and the creation of mini-grids based on renewables. Ultimate objective of the project is to develop, combine, install, test and assess (technically and socially) the performance of low-cost pilot hybrid Renewable Energy (RE) systems in remote areas of the Mediterranean, which are not yet grid-connected. The hybrid systems will be consisted of photovoltaics, small wind generators, hydrogen subsystems and they will be installed in selected areas of the MPC countries to set-up and provide energy and associated services thus aid to the increase of the standard of living of these rural communities. The systems will be configured and sized after taking into account the local conditions. Three hybrid systems will be installed in remote rural areas of Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia. The systems should fulfil criteria as modularity, robustness, and simplicity in use and also require very low maintenance. Additional considerations for the technologies selection and implementation regard the possibility of systems standardisation and replication. Furthermore, the local installations will serve as good practice, accelerate local skill development, and promote and encourage international partnerships amongst all relevant stakeholders, such as research, financial, and regulatory institutions, industry and service companies, in particular SMEs, local representatives and social players. By setting-up the afore mentioned three pilot installations in three MPC the proposed research will bring a significant contribution for creating sustainable structures with a decent living quality in the rural environments of the MPC by developing highly innovative hybrid RE installations based on the availability of local renewable energy sources and the local social conditions and needs.

FP6-INCO, Virtual balkan power centre for advance of renewable energy sources in Western Balkans (VBPC-RES)

Objective: Countries in the Western Balkan region have great unexploited potential of renewable energy sources (RES), which could by efficient use significantly contribute to security of supply within the region and wider. Special care has to be devoted to sound solu tions for electricity supply of undeveloped and isolated regions due to war damage. The main objectives of the VBPC are: (i) transfer of know-how in RES technology and their implementation for isolated regions, (ii) to identify main economic and legislativ e factors influencing investment decisions in RES including barriers and local specifics, and to identify options to improve penetration of RES, and (.ii) awareness building and education on modes, means and benefits of renewable energy sources. The work w ithin the VBPC will be organized in 4 work packages (WP). First WP will deal with transfer of best practice and best technologies in RES for isolated regions, comprising energy transformation, distribution, operation and control, connection to the local ne twork, energy storage and organizational as also other implementation issues. In the second WP the regulatory framework of each WB country will be analyzed to identify barriers and local specifics. This will be archived by exchange ofinformation on establi shing incentives for promotion of RES and experiences with harmonisation with EU legislation in EU, AS and WB countries. Communication and dissemination with key focus groups (policy makers, utilities and SMEs, higher education system) will be the objectiv e of the WP3. Fore each key focus group of actors important for RES implementation in the region a special dissemination program will be carried out comprising targeted workshops, conferences, public reports and summer schools. The fourth WP will be devote d to project management issues and to support actions and activities in the first three work packages.
