Unlocking the Societal Potential for Change

As humanity navigates the complexities of human-environment interactions, interdisciplinary approaches that integrate psychological insights within the broader environmental discourse are essential for fostering meaningful engagement with sustainability and addressing global environmental concerns. In this publication the authors, who were participants of the “4th Summer School on Environmental Psychology” on Vilm Island in May/June 2023, explore distinct yet interconnected research topics, ranging from climate justice and emotional responses to sustainability strategies, incentives for pro-environmental behavior and the social implications of emerging technologies. In conclusion, these papers show how environmental psychology offers a multifaceted lens through which to examine and address pressing environmental challenges. These insights therefore offer valuable tools on how to further proceed on the United Nations Goal of living in harmony with nature on the global and local level.

Natural Radionuclides in Groundwater (NORM) (WMS)

Considering water as the primary resource necessary for social life, agriculture, industry, and wealth, the importance of groundwater investigation is clear. Apart from many other pollutants, this work focusses on geogenic uranium (U) and radium (Ra), which both stand for natural radionuclides (NORM) that need to be considered frame of groundwater exploration and monitoring programmes due to their specific mobility and chemo-/radiotoxicity. As investigation of U and – to a lesser extent - Ra is done by an increasing number of scientific working groups, the global dataset is improving continuously. In order to give a summarized overview on available and recent literature, scientific papers, reports, and governmental documents have been reviewed for U-238 mass concentrations and Ra-226 and Ra-228 activity concentrations and collected in tables and global maps. Further natural isotopes of U and Ra have been rarely subject of investigation. The collected data were evaluated and interpreted in frame of an associated scientific publication (see citation). From the available data it can be concluded that high geogenic U occur mainly under oxidizing conditions and carbonate rich groundwater, which might be seen as indicator for elevated U concentrations. Certain geological formations, as for example sedimentary, granitic, and volcanic host rocks, promote high U concentrations in groundwater. For geogenic Ra, the search for definite indications proved difficult, since less clear correlation is given for any observed factor. In a global perspective, the most promising evidence for elevated Ra are highly reducing redox conditions, as well as the occurrence of Fe/Mn mineral phases. Furthermore, barite represents a sink for Ra due to its ability to incorporate Ra isotopes. Dissolution of those mineral phases eventually results in co-dissolution of Ra, when Ra is found in host rocks of investigated aquifers, or downstream of such groundwater reservoirs. Furthermore, cation exchange might enhance Ra mobility process, especially in case of sedimentary aquifers with low sorption capacity and/or aquifers with high salinity. Given those chemical requirements for the occurrence of U and Ra, a negative correlation between mother and daughter nuclide can be established. When knowledge on present geological and geochemical constraints is available, elevated U and Ra concentrations might be predictable, as long as anthropogenic influence is excluded.

德国2050年温室气体中和

RESCUE 研究表明，德国可通过多种路径在2050年之前实现温室气体中和。越早采取更有雄心的行动，就有更大的转型路径选择空间，并实现替代法、避免法和碳汇法之间的平衡。该政策文件提炼了RESCUE研究关于如何有效保护气候的主要结论，并指明了德国实现温室气体中和与为《巴黎协定》作恰当贡献所需的必要举措。 Veröffentlicht in Scientific Opinion Paper.

Kein Grund zur Lücke

Mit den bis 2018 beschlossenen Klimaschutzmaßnahmen wird das Ziel, die Treibhausgasemissionen im Verkehrssektor auf 95 bis 98 Mio. t CO 2 -Äquvalente in 2030 zu reduzieren, deutlich verfehlt werden. Es bleibt eine Klimaschutzlücke von deutlich mehr als 50 Mio. t CO 2 -Äq. bestehen. Das ⁠ UBA ⁠-Positionspapier zeigt auf, durch welche Maßnahmen die Minderungslücke bis 2030 geschlossen werden kann. Der Weg dorthin ist in drei Etappen unterteilt, die ein steigendes Ambitionsniveau der Klimaschutzinstrumente widerspiegeln. Daraus abgeleitet formuliert das Papier Empfehlungen für die Politik, die zum Beispiel den Abbau umweltschädlicher Subventionen und eine gerechte Bepreisung enthalten. Veröffentlicht in Position.

堆肥产品和沼渣的质量保证

Establishing a quality assurance system for compost and digestate from bio-waste can help to decrease the amount of biodegradable waste being landfilled and to increase material recycling. Germany has been successfully operating such a system since 1989, comprising also an organisation with the competence to control the quality of compost and digestate and to award a quality label, the Bundesgütegemeinschaft Kompost e.V. This brochure introduces to the quality assurance system of compost and digestate in Germany in order to give orientation and to share experiences. It provides information, inter alia, on the legal framework related to bio-waste in the EU and in Germany, on involved organisations and on requirements. This brochure is available in English and in Chinese. Veröffentlicht in Broschüren, Scientific Opinion Paper.

Electric bikes get things rolling

Common questions regarding pedelecs involve their potential for sustainable mobility, and, above all, their environmental impacts. This paper provides answers to these queries. A pedelec puts more stress on the environment than a conventional bicycle without an electric motor, but the relatively low environmental impact level of pedelecs is certainly offset when pedelecs are used in lieu of cars for trips. Veröffentlicht in Hintergrundpapier.

A blind spot in the assessment of POP/PBT/vPvB properties

This paper relates to the assessment of transformation products (i.e. metabolites, degradation or reaction products), which are formed from plant protection products. It addresses a detail in Regulation (EC) No. 1107/2009 which is not in line with other substance regulations for ⁠ REACH ⁠, medicinal products, and biocides. Our concern: Also transformation products can be hazardous substances. Meanwhile, they are not yet covered within the ⁠ POP ⁠/⁠ PBT ⁠/vPvB assessment and the approval criteria for active substances. Our proposal: At least transformation products occurring in a relevant amount should be included in the assessment and the approval criteria in the same way as active substances.
