Wuppertal Institut: Die Debatte um den Klimaschutz: Mythen, Fakten, Argumente

PROLOG

  • WENN DEUTSCHLANDS ANTEIL AM KLIMAWANDEL EHER GERING IST, WIE KÖNNEN WIR DANN DAS KLIMA RETTEN?
  • WENN DEUTSCHLAND KOHLEKRAFTWERKE ABSCHALTET, WIRD DANN MEHR KOHLESTROM AUS POLEN UND ATOMSTROM AUS FRANKREICH IMPORTIERT?
  • IST EINE STROMVERSORGUNG AUSSCHLIESSLICH MIT ERNEUERBAREN ENERGIEN TECHNISCH MACHBAR?
  • BRINGT EIN SCHNELLER AUSSTIEG AUS DER KOHLE FÜR DIE BESCHÄFTIGTEN UND BETROFFENEN REGIONEN UNZUMUTBARE HÄRTEN MIT SICH?
  • FÜHRT DIE ENERGIEWENDE ZU HÖHEREN STROMPREISEN, DIE ÄRMERE MEHR BELASTEN ALS REICHE?
  • GEHEN DURCH DIE ENERGIEWENDE ARBEITSPLÄTZE IN DER INDUSTRIE VERLOREN?ZERSTÖRT DIE VERKEHRSWENDE DIE AUTOMOBIL-WIRTSCHAFT
  • IN DEUTSCHLAND?BRAUCHEN KLIMATECHNOLOGIEN MEHR ENERGIE UND RESSOURCEN,ALS SIE EINSPAREN? SCHWERPUNKT: ELEKTRO-AUTOS
  • IST DIE ENERGETISCHE GEBÄUDESANIERUNG SCHULD AN BAUKOSTEN- UND MIETPREISSTEIGERUNG, AN VER-DRÄNGUNG UND GENTRIFIZIERUNG?
  • GEFÄHRDET KLIMAFREUNDLICHE, ÖKOLOGISCHE LANDWIRTSCHAFT DIE ERNÄHRUNGSSICHERHEIT IN DEUTSCHLAND?

Bericht:

"The United Nations World Water Development Report (WWDR) 2021, published by UNESCO on behalf of UN-Water, shows that the inability to recognize the value of water is the main cause of water waste and misuse. Despite the difficulty of attributing an objective and indisputable value to a resource which is fundamental to life, it seems necessary to examine water’s various dimensions in order to understand the various aspects of its “value”. This is especially true in times of growing scarcity and against the backdrop of population growth and climate change. ..."

Soil pollution is invisible to the human eye, but it compromises the quality of the food we eat, the water we drink and the air we breathe and puts human and environmental health at risk. Most contaminants originate from human activities such as industrial processes and mining, poor waste management, unsustainable farming practices, accidents ranging from small chemical spills to accidents at nuclear power plants, and the many effects of armed conflicts. Pollution knows no borders: contaminants are spread throughout terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and many are distributed globally by atmospheric transport. In addition, they are redistributed through the global economy by way of food and production chains.

Soil pollution is a chemical degradation process that consumes fertile soils, with implications for global food security and human health. Soil pollution hampers the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including achieving zero hunger, ending poverty, ensuring healthy lives and human well-being, halting and reversing land degradation and biodiversity loss, and making cities safe and resilient. Most contaminants originate from human activities and enter into the environment because of unsustainable production chains, consumption patterns or inappropriate waste disposal practices.

In May 2018, FAO and its Global Soil Partnership (GSP), the World Health Organization (WHO), the Secretariat of the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm Convention and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) organized the Global Symposium on Soil Pollution (GSOP18) to bring together science and policy to understand the status, causes, impacts and solutions to soil pollution. The Outcome document of the symposium, ‘Be the solution to soil pollution’ paved the way to the implementation of a coordinated set of actions to #StopSoilPollution.

This report considers both point source contamination and diffuse pollution, and detail also the risks and impacts of soil pollution on human health, the environment and food security, without neglecting soil degradation and the burden of disease resulting from exposure to polluted soil.

The Global Assessment of Soil Pollution report and its Summary for Policy makers will be launched on 4th June are a response to this request and as part of the World Environment Day celebrations and the launch of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. This report and its summary, coordinated by the FAO’s GSP, the ITPS, and UNEP, are the product of an inclusive process involving scientists from all regions.

UN IPCC and IPBES

This workshop report is placed in the context of recent international agreements including the Paris Agreement, the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011–2020 and on-going preparation for the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework, the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development that converge on solving the dual crises of climate change and biodiversity loss as essential to support human well-being. Simultaneously meeting these agreements relies on immediate and sustained efforts for transformative change which encompass technological and environmental policies as well as changes to economic structures and profound shifts in society. Climate change impacts and biodiversity loss are two of the most important challenges and risks for human societies; at the same time climate and biodiversity are intertwined through mechanistic links and feedbacks. ..
