H2020-EU.3.5. - Societal Challenges - Climate action, Environment, Resource Efficiency and Raw Materials - (H2020-EU.3.5. - Gesellschaftliche Herausforderungen - Klimaschutz, Umwelt, Ressourceneffizienz und Rohstoffe), Land-Based Solutions for Plastics in the Sea

Das Projekt "H2020-EU.3.5. - Societal Challenges - Climate action, Environment, Resource Efficiency and Raw Materials - (H2020-EU.3.5. - Gesellschaftliche Herausforderungen - Klimaschutz, Umwelt, Ressourceneffizienz und Rohstoffe), Land-Based Solutions for Plastics in the Sea" wird/wurde gefördert durch: Kommission der Europäischen Gemeinschaften Brüssel. Es wird/wurde ausgeführt durch: Universidad de Vigo.Plastic is pouring from land into our oceans at a rate of nearly 10 million tonnes a year. Once in the sea, plastics fragment into particles moving with the currents and ocean gyres before washing up on the coastline. The smaller the size the higher the risk posed by these particles to organisms and human health. EU-funded LABPLAS will develop new techniques and models for the quantification of small micro- and nano plastics (SMNP). Specifically, LABPLAS will determine reliable identification methods for more accurate assessment of the abundance, distribution, and toxicity determination of SMNP and associated chemicals in the environment. It will also develop practical computational tools to facilitate the mapping of plastic-impacted hotspots and promote scientifically sound plastic governance. Objective: There are 5,250 billion plastic particles floating on the surface on the world's seas and oceans, equivalent to 268,940 metric tons of waste. These fragments move with the currents before washing up on beaches, islands, coral atolls or one of the five great ocean gyres. Because MP cannot be removed form oceans, proactive action regarding research on plastic alternatives and strategies to prevent plastic entering the environment should be taken promptly. Despite the research increasing, there is still a lack of suitable and validated analytical methods for detection and quantification of small micro- and nano plastics (SMNP) evidencing a huge obstacle for large-scale monitoring. There is also a lack of hazard and fate data which would allow their risk assessment. LABPLAS is a 48-months project whose vision is creating capacities (sampling, analysis and quantification techniques, new materials and new models) to evaluate rapidly and precisely the interactions of plastics with the environmental compartments and natural cycles leading to the development of effective mitigation and elimination measures, as well as, making management decisions. It will assess reliable identification methods for more accurate assessment of the abundance, distribution and toxicity determination of SMNP in the environment, giving the opportunity of new developments of cutting edge technologies. It will also develop practical computational tools that up-scaled should allow European agencies to map plastic-impacted hotspots. The project will have a multi-actor approach, creating scientific knowledge with a partnership of scientists, technicians, research organizations and enterprises, working together towards the recognition at different levels (society, industry, policy) of the main issues (sources, potential biodegradability, ecotoxicology, ingestion, environmental assessment) related to the presence of plastics in ecosystems.

Floods Reference Spatial Datasets reported under Floods Directive - version 2.0, Jul. 2024

The Floods Directive (FD) was adopted in 2007 (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex:32007L0060). The purpose of the FD is to establish a framework for the assessment and management of flood risks, aiming at the reduction of the adverse consequences for human health, the environment, cultural heritage and economic activity associated with floods in the European Union. ‘Flood’ means the temporary covering by water of land not normally covered by water. This shall include floods from rivers, mountain torrents, Mediterranean ephemeral water courses, and floods from the sea in coastal areas, and may exclude floods from sewerage systems. This reference spatial dataset, reported under the Floods Directive, includes the areas of potential significant flood risk (APSFR), as they were lastly reported by the Member States to the European Commission, and the Units of Management (UoM).

Population trend of bird species: datasets from Article 12, Birds Directive 2009/147/EC reporting (2013-2018) - INTERNAL VERSION - Oct. 2020

All EU Member States are requested to monitor birds listed in the Birds Directive (2009/147/EC) and send a report about the progress made with the implementation of the Directive every 6 years following an agreed format. The assessment of breeding population short-term trend at the level of country is here presented. The spatial dataset contains gridded birds distribution data (10 km grid cells) as reported by EU Member States for the 2013-2018 period. The dataset is aggregated by species code and country in the attribute CO_MS. By use of the aggregated attribute [CO_MS], the tabular data can be joined to the spatial data to obtain e.g. the EU population status and trend. This metadata refers to the INTERNAL dataset as it includes species flagged as sensitive by Member States. Therefore, its access is restricted to only internal use by EEA.

DESERTEC - Wüstenstrom

Das Projekt "DESERTEC - Wüstenstrom" wird/wurde ausgeführt durch: DESERTEC Foundation, Office Hamburg.Dieses Projekt ist vorerst nur geplant. Auf einer Veranstaltung am 13. Juli 2009 in München haben zwölf europäische Unternehmen zusammen mit der DESERTEC Foundation ein Memorandum of Understanding zur Gründung einer Desertec Industrial Initiative Planungsgesellschaft (DII) unterzeichnet. Die DII Planungsgesellschaft soll bis zum 31. Oktober 2009 als GmbH nach deutschem Recht gegründet werden. Ziel dieser Initiative ist die Analyse und Entwicklung von technischen, ökonomischen, politischen, gesellschaftlichen und ökologischen Rahmenbedingungen zur CO2-freien Energieerzeugung in den Wüsten Nordafrikas. Dieses von der TREC-Initiative des Club of Rome entwickelte DESERTEC-Konzept beschreibt die Perspektiven einer nachhaltigen Stromversorgung für alle Regionen der Welt mit Zugang zum Energiepotenzial von Wüsten. Die Gründungsunternehmen der DII, deren regionaler Fokus auf Europa, dem Nahen Osten und Nordafrika (MENA) liegt, werden sein: ABB, ABENGOA Solar, Cevital, Deutsche Bank, E.ON, HSH Nordbank, MAN Solar Millennium, Münchener Rück, M+W Zander, RWE, SCHOTT Solar, SIEMENS. Zu den wesentlichen Zielen der DII gehören auch die Erarbeitung konkreter Geschäftspläne und darauf aufbauender Finanzierungskonzepte sowie der Anstoß zu industriellen Vorbereitungen zum Bau einer Vielzahl vernetzter und über die MENA-Region verteilter solarthermischer Kraftwerke. Diese Energiequellen sollen durch ein internationales verlustarmes Hochspannungsgleichstromleitungsnetz (HGÜ) verbunden werden mit anderen regenerativen Energieerzeugern von Island bis Arabien. Es wird angestrebt, einen Anteil von rund 15 Prozent des Strombedarfs von Europa und einen erheblichen Anteil des Strombedarfs für die Erzeugerländer zu produzieren. Alle Tätigkeiten der DII sind darauf ausgerichtet, umsetzungsfähige Investitionspläne innerhalb von drei Jahren nach Gründung zu erstellen.
