Description: Das Projekt "Wie ist mit möglichen Verlierern umweltpolitischer Neuregelungen im Unternehmenssetktor umzugehen? Eine umweltökonomische Analyse und ein umweltpolitischer Vergleich zwischen Deutschland, Japan und den USA" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von ifo Institut - Leibniz-Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung an der Universität München e.V. durchgeführt. The Tamaki Foundation Project an the Global Environment speaks to the broad themes of the World Summit. The main aim of the Tamaki Foundation Project is to assess the concept of 'equity' in relationship to environmental protection and sustainable development initiatives domestically in Japan, Germany/the European Union, and the United States, and as they affect China. As the largest economies, Japan, Germany/EU, and the US have particularly large impacts (footprints) an the global environment. Their impact is both direct in terms of resources consumed, emissions generated, and natural areas that are degraded, and indirect, in terms of the examples they provide other countries of the world. They also can impact directly environmental conditions in developing countries through their foreign investment and trade activities, official development assistance, and formal and informal cooperative initiatives. This project will analyse how these differences influence Japanese, German, and US environmental programs and laws. We will do this through the lense of equity. We understand 'equity' in its broadest sense to include relations among individuals and groups within a state and among states. We also understand it to have an intergenerational component and do not exclude the idea that other species have rights as well. In focusing an questions of equity we would like to consider what kind of ecological footprint these states leave with their economic activities and what kind of ameliorating affects their environmental policies may have. Similarly, we are interested in how burdens are shared. Who bares the cost of environmental degradation? Who bares the cost of environmental clean up? Who has voice in economic and environmental decisions? Related concepts to environmental equity include sustainable development, environmental justice, burden sharing, ecological democracy, and ecological modernisation.
