In light of current developments and challenges in the freight transport sector, the report mainly seeks to do the following:Develop a future-oriented road and rail freight transport financing model that is oriented toward sus-tainability, climate protection goals, and modal shift goals in Germany – for which a key element is the lessons that have been learned in other countries (i.e. cross-country comparison).Analyse and assess the economic impact of the elaborated financing models and instruments, in terms of the extent to which they meet German climate and modal shift goals. Both the overall economic im-pact (in terms of employment and added value) and the monetized environmental impact need to be addressed.To this end, the report builds on the groundwork concerning sustainability and climate protection goals: the German strategy for sustainable freight transport, current debates on financing, climate and mobility scenarios, and the lessons learned in other countries.
This report first describes the two processes for the development of SDGs and the post-2015 development agenda, and the options to integrate the results of both processes in order to arrive at one set of goals. It goes on to discuss the possible structure of a set of SDGs, and discusses a number of topic clusters, as an illustration of what possible SDGs could look like.<BR>Quelle: www.umweltbundesamt.de
Sustainability, by definition, is about maintaining future capability in one‘s own decisions. What happens, though, if the framework conditions change? What if the different political, economic and social actors have different ideas of sustainable solutions? Systematically developed future scenarios have been used to point out room for solution for sustainable action in spare time, living and building, as well as nutrition – and reviewed the necessity of resilience against changing framework conditions.
