    Making Sense of World History (2020)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: "Making Sense of World History is a comprehensive and accessible textbook that helps students understand the key themes of world history within a chronological framework stretching from ancient times to the present day. To lend coherence to its narrative, the book employs a set of organizing devices that connect times, places, and/or themes. This narrative is supported by: Flowcharts that show how phenomena within diverse broad themes interact in generating key processes and events in world history. A discussion of the common challenges faced by different types of agent, including rulers, merchants, farmers, and parents, and a comparison of how these challenges were addressed in different times and places. An exhaustive and balanced treatment of themes such as culture, politics, and economy, with an emphasis on interaction. Explicit attention to skill acquisition in organizing information, cultural sensitivity, comparison, visual literacy, integration, interrogating primary sources, and critical thinking. A focus on historical “episodes” that are carefully related to each other. Through the use of such devices, the book shows the cumulative effect of thematic interactions through time, communicates the many ways in which societies have influenced each other through history, and allows us to compare and contrast how they have reacted to similar challenges. They also allow the reader to transcend historical controversies and can be used to stimulate class discussions and guide student assignments. With a unified authorial voice and offering a narrative from the ancient to the present, this is the go-to textbook for World History courses and students. The Open Access version of this book, available at https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9781003013518, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license."

    Indigenous Data Sovereignty and Policy (2020)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-09-12
    Description: This book examines how Indigenous Peoples around the world are demanding greater data sovereignty, and challenging the ways in which governments have historically used Indigenous data to develop policies and programs. In the digital age, governments are increasingly dependent on data and data analytics to inform their policies and decision-making. However, Indigenous Peoples have often been the unwilling targets of policy interventions and have had little say over the collection, use and application of data about them, their lands and cultures. At the heart of Indigenous Peoples’ demands for change are the enduring aspirations of self-determination over their institutions, resources, knowledge and information systems. With contributors from Australia, Aotearoa New Zealand, North and South America and Europe, this book offers a rich account of the potential for Indigenous data sovereignty to support human flourishing and to protect against the ever-growing threats of data-related risks and harms.

    Chapter 10 Healing the American Community: Race and Criminal Justice (2020)
    Taylor & Francis
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-14
    Description: Even for violent crime, justice should mean more than punishment. By paying close attention to the relational harms suffered by victims, this book develops a concept of relational justice for survivors, offenders and community. Relational justice looks beyond traditional rules of legal responsibility to include the social and emotional dimensions of human experience, opening the way for a more compassionate, effective and just response to crime. The book’s chapters follow a journey from victim experiences of violence to community healing from violence. Early chapters examine the relational harms inflicted by the worst wrongs, the moral responsibility of wrongdoers and common mistakes made in judging wrongdoing. Particular attention is paid here to sexual violence. The book then moves to questions of just punishment: proper sentencing by judges, mandatory sentences approved by the public, and the realities of contemporary incarceration, focusing particularly on solitary confinement and sexual violence. In its remaining chapters, the book looks at changes brought by the victims' rights movement and victim needs that current law does not, and perhaps cannot meet. It then addresses possibilities for offender change and challenges for majority America in addressing race discrimination in criminal justice. The book concludes with a look at how individuals might live out the ideals of a greater—relational—justice.

    Locating Imagination in Popular Culture (2020)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-28
    Description: Locating Imagination in Popular Culture offers a multi-disciplinary account of the ways in which popular culture, tourism and notions of place intertwine in an environment characterized by ongoing processes of globalization, digitization and an increasingly ubiquitous nature of multi-media. Centred around the concept of imagination, the authors demonstrate how popular culture and media are becoming increasingly important in the ways in which places and localities are imagined, and how they also subsequently stimulate a desire to visit the actual places in which people’s favourite stories are set. With examples drawn from around the globe, the book offers a unique study of the role of narratives conveyed through media in stimulating and reflecting desire in tourism. This book will have appeal in a wide variety of academic disciplines, ranging from media and cultural studies to fan- and tourism studies, cultural geography, literary studies and cultural sociology.

    Comics and Videogames (2020)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-28
    Description: "This book offers the first comprehensive study of the many interfaces shaping the relationship between comics and videogames. It combines in-depth conceptual reflection with a rich selection of paradigmatic case studies from contemporary media culture. The editors have gathered a distinguished group of international scholars working at the interstices of comics studies and game studies to explore two interrelated areas of inquiry: The first part of the book focuses on hybrid medialities and experimental aesthetics ""between"" comics and videogames; the second part zooms in on how comics and videogames function as transmedia expansions within an increasingly convergent and participatory media culture. The individual chapters address synergies and intersections between comics and videogames via a diverse set of case studies ranging from independent and experimental projects via popular franchises from the corporate worlds of DC and Marvel to the more playful forms of media mix prominent in Japan. Offering an innovative intervention into a number of salient issues in current media culture, Comics and Videogames will be of interest to scholars and students of comics studies, game studies, popular culture studies, transmedia studies, and visual culture studies."

    Atlas of Remote Sensing of the Wenchuan Earthquake (2020)
    Taylor & Francis | CRC Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-11
    Description: In May 12, 2008, the Wenchuan County earthquake caused devastating loss of human life and property. Applying all the remote sensing technology available, the Chinese Academy of Sciences immediately launched into action, making full use of its state-of-the-art facilities, remote sensing planes, and satellites to amass invaluable optical and radar data. This unprecedented use of comprehensive remote sensing techniques provided accurate, up to the minute information for disaster management and has left us with a visually stunning and beautiful record that is as much a scientific achievement as it is an artistic one. Based on the accumulated data and images collected by the Project Team of Remote Sensing Monitoring and Assessment of the Wenchuan Earthquake, Atlas of Remote Sensing of the Wenchuan Earthquake documents the events as they happened in real time. The book covers the disaster from six aspects: geological, barrier lakes, collapsed buildings, damaged roads, destroyed farmland and forests, and demolished infrastructure. It also demonstrates that the Dujiangyan Irrigation Project, which has been standing for 2000 years, remains fully functioning, and keeps the Chengdu Plain operating optimally even after the earthquake. Translated into English for the first time, the Atlas presents a pictorial summation of this unique project. It chronicles the event with over 280 before and after color images from a range of perspectives. This volume dramatically demonstrates the value of remote sensing for understanding how an earthquake unfolds and the potential of remote sensing in helping coordinate emergency relief. A pictorial record of events as they unfolded, this book provides a systematic documentation of earthquake damage that can be used to prepare for future seismic events.

    Entangled Mobilities in the Transnational Salsa Circuit (2020)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-09-12
    Description: With attention to the transnational dance world of salsa, this book explores the circulation of people, imaginaries, dance movements, conventions and affects from a transnational perspective. Through interviews and ethnographic, multi-sited research in Havana and several European cities, the author draws on the notion of ‘entangled mobilities’ to show how the intimate gendered and ethnicized moves on the dance floor relate to the cross-border mobility of salsa dance professionals and their students. A combination of research on migration and mobility with studies of music and dance, Entangled Mobilities in the Transnational Salsa Circuit contributes to the fields of transnationalism, mobility and dance studies, thus providing a deeper theoretical and empirical understanding of gendered and racialized transnational phenomena. As such it will appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests in migration, cultural studies and gender studies.

    From Monodisciplinary via Multidisciplinary to an Interdisciplinary Approach Investigating Air-Sea Interactions – a SOLAS Initiative (2020)
    Taylor & Francis
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-02-08
    Description: Understanding the physical and biogeochemical interactions and feedbacks between the ocean and atmosphere is a vital component of environmental and Earth system research. The ability to predict and respond to future environmental change relies on a detailed understanding of these processes. The Surface Ocean-Lower Atmosphere Study (SOLAS) is an international research platform that focuses on the study of ocean-atmosphere interactions, for which Future Earth is a sponsor. SOLAS instigated a collaborative initiative process to connect efforts in the natural and social sciences related to these processes, as a contribution to the emerging Future Earth Ocean Knowledge-Action Network (Ocean KAN). This is imperative because many of the recent changes in the Earth system are anthropogenic. An understanding of adaptation and counteracting measures requires an alliance of scientists from both domains to bridge the gap between science and policy. To this end, three SOLAS research areas were targeted for a case study to determine a more effective method of interdisciplinary research: valuing carbon and the ocean’s role; air-sea interactions, policy and stewardship; and, air-sea interactions and the shipping industry.

    Updated seafloor topography and T phase seismicity at Monowai, northern Kermadec Arc (2020)
    Taylor & Francis
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-02-08
    Description: Monowai is an active submarine volcanic centre in the Kermadec Arc, Southwest Pacific Ocean. Multi-beam data acquired during expedition SO225 aboard R/V SONNE in December 2012 indicates that the topography of the main stratocone has evolved significantly since the last survey in June 2011. Bathymetric measurements of the edifice reveal differences of up to 42 m in seafloor depth and indicate a net volume increase of ∼0.037 km3 across the summit area. Explosive volcanism observed onsite during the SO225 mapping campaign could be linked to a 20h-long swarm of unusually coherent T phase arrivals, suggesting that Monowai is a prime source of broadband seismic noise in the Southwest Pacific region during times of activity. Our findings further document the dynamic nature of volcanic processes at Monowai and have implications for future expedition planning.

    Residents’ perception of the consequences of industrial activities in Ilupeju, Southwestern Nigeria (2020)
    Taylor & Francis
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-02-08
    Description: This study examined the residential perceptions of industrial activities in Ilupeju, Lagos, Nigeria. The relevance of distance decay theory, which postulates that the magnitude of effects of the outputs from an industrial establishment would decrease with increasing distance from the point of origin, was tested in the study. Global Positioning System was used to capture the coordinates of the identified firms in Ilupeju. Additionally, two different sets of structured questionnaire were designed; the first set, which was distributed among the industrialists, sought information on the types of waste generated among others while the second set was randomly distributed among the residents and was used to elicit information on the types of pollution emanating from the industries, socioeconomic benefits, among others. The result shows that there is a significant variation in the perceived effects as people living within 0.5 km to the industrial sites claimed to suffer more pollution than those living 1.5 km away from the industrial sites, which is consistent with the distance decay theory. On the other hand, the distance decay theory cannot explain socioeconomic impacts such as increase in living costs, among others as they are felt around the study area irrespective of distance away from the industrial sites.

    Reactivity of Iron Minerals in the Seabed Toward Microbial Reduction – A Comparison of Different Extraction Techniques (2020)
    Taylor & Francis
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-02-08
    Description: Dissimilatory iron reduction and sulfate reduction are the most important processes for anaerobic mineralization of organic carbon in marine sediments. The thermodynamics and kinetics of microbial Fe(III) reduction depend on the characteristics of the Fe(III) minerals, which influence the potential of Fe(III)-reducers to compete with sulfate-reducers for common organic substrates. In the present study, we tested different methods to quantify and characterize microbially reducible Fe(III) in sediments from a transect in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard, using different standard sequential endpoint extractions and time-course extractions with either ascorbate or a Fe(III)-reducing microbial culture. Similar trends of increasing ‘reactive Fe’ content of the sediment along the fjord transect were found using the different extraction methods. However, the total amount of ‘reactive Fe’ extracted differed between the methods, due to different Fe dissolution mechanisms and different targeted Fe fractions. Time-course extractions additionally provided information on the reactivity and heterogeneity of the extracted Fe(III) minerals, which also impact the favorability for microbial reduction. Our results show which fractions of the existing Fe extraction protocols should be considered ‘reactive’ in the sense of being favorable for microbial Fe(III) reduction, which is important in studies on early diagenesis in marine sediments.

    Microbial Community Compositions and Geochemistry of Sediments with Increasing Distance to the Hydrothermal Vent Outlet in the Kairei Field (2020)
    Taylor & Francis
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-02-08
    Description: Microbial metabolisms in sediments play a pivotal role in marine element cycling. In hydrothermal sediments chemosynthetic microorganisms likely prevail, while in non-hydrothermally impacted sediment regimes microorganisms associated with organic matter decomposition are primarily recognized. To test how these microorganisms are distributed along the hitherto neglected transition zone influenced to different degrees by hydrothermal input we sampled four sediment sites: these were (i) near an active vent, (ii) the outer rim, and (iii) the inactive area of the Kairei hydrothermal field as well as (iv) sediments roughly 200 km south-east of the Kairei field. Chemistry and microbial community compositions were different at all sampling sites. Against expectations, the sediments near the active vent did not host typical chemosynthetic microorganisms and chemistry did not indicate current, extensive hydrothermal venting. Data from the outer rim area of the active Kairei field suggested microbially mediated saponite production and diffuse hydrothermal flow from below accompanied by increased metal concentrations. A steep redox gradient in the inactive Kairei field points towards significant redox driven processes resulting in dissolution of hydrothermal precipitates and intense metal mobilization. Local microorganisms were primarily Chloroflexi, Bacillales, Thermoplasmata, and Thaumarchaeota.

These include the National Development Plan (NDP) for 2019-2024 as well as climate goals or Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC), to which Mexico is committed under the Paris Agreement. This study, published in conjunction with the project Enhancing the Coherence of Climate and Energy Policies in Mexico (CONECC), offers quantitative evidence of the co-benefits of two routes (scenarios) for energy transition as related to the Energy Transition Law (LTE). These vary in scope however, revealing how the co-benefits of renewable energy and energy efficiency can help to play an active role in achieving national development goals.

    Multikriterielle Bewertung der Energiewende : Nachhaltigkeitsprofile zum Kohleausstieg (2020)
    Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-07-18
    Description: Der Bericht stellt die Resultate einer multikriteriellen Bewertung verschiedener Szenarien eines Kohleausstiegs in Deutschland vor. Die exemplarischen Politikszenarien basieren auf unterschiedlich umfassenden politischen Maßnahmenbündeln und bewegen sich im Spannungsfeld zwischen Ordnungsrecht und Markt. Der transdisziplinäre Bewertungsprozess wurde parallel zur Kohlekommission im Rahmen des Kopernikus-Projektes „Energiewende-Navigationssystem“ (ENavi) erprobt. Hierbei schätzten die Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler des Konsortiums die Folgen der Maßnahmenbündel ab und bewerteten diese anhand von zehn Nachhaltigkeitskriterien. Die so entstandenen Bewertungsvorschläge wurden mit Stakeholdern aus Zivilgesellschaft, Industrie, Wirtschaft und Politik geprüft, diskutiert und verfeinert. Der Bericht gibt einen Überblick zu Prozess, Methodik sowie Ergebnissen der Bewertung. Zudem zeigt er, unter anderem anhand eines Vergleichs mit der Kohlekommission, Verbesserungspotentiale des realisierten Bewertungsverfahrens auf. Die Erfahrungen, Empfehlungen und identifizierten Forschungsbedarfe bieten wertvolle Gestaltungshinweise für zukünftige Projekte mit einer ähnlichen inter- und transdisziplinären Herangehensweise.

    Making Sense of Techno-Economic Assessment & Life Cycle Assessment Studies for CO2 Utilization: A guide on how to commission, understand, and derive decisions from TEA and LCA studies (2020)
    Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-07-18
    Description: This report provides guidance to decision makers in all types of public and private organizations involved in the planning and development of CCU. It is prepared within the scope of the CO2nsistent project funded by the Global CO2 Initiative and EIT Climate-KIC, and is based on the published TEA and LCA Guidelines v.1. This report provides user-centered guidance on how to commission and understand TEA and LCA studies for CCU, and how to determine whether existing studies are eligible to be used in a decision making process. Another primary goal of this report is to ensure that disciplinary expertise is effectively taken up by decision makers and all potential audiences. The remainder of this document is structured in two parts. Part A introduces the reader to the concept of TEA and LCA studies: What types of input can such assessments provide for decision making? What are the limitations of their explanatory power? This part focuses on the goal and scope definition for such studies, and on other aspects that are particularly relevant for decision making. The document presents how the decision maker (or commissioner) and the assessment practitioner can jointly set the various assessment phases. These terms are explained in the boxes below. The approach and main components of TEA and LCA studies are described, with the specific goal of making the most sensitive disciplinary concepts clear and comprehensible to all audiences. Part B consists of practical tools to guide actors interested in commissioning TEA and LCA studies, and to support decision makers when evaluating and assessing TEA and LCA studies submitted by third parties. A series of consecutive steps, displayed as decision trees, provide support for checking the completeness of key aspects and requirements of TEA and LCA studies.

    Description: Die Covid-19 Pandemie hat das Mobilitätsverhalten eindeutig beeinflusst. Während der ÖPNV mit einem starken Rückgang der Fahrgäste zu kämpfen hat, gewinnen individuelle Mobilitätsformen – wie der Fußverkehr, Radverkehr und Autoverkehr – an Bedeutung. Gleichzeitig haben der Infektionsschutz und das Einhalten der Abstandsregeln höchste Priorität. In Berlin entsteht eine sogenannte Pop-Up-Radinfrastruktur – provisorische Radwege, die mit einfachen Mitteln sicheres Radfahren und den nötigen Abstand ermöglichen. Welche Reaktionen rufen die Pop-Up-Radwege bei den Verkehrsteilnehmer*innen hervor? Ziel der vorliegenden Studie war es, durch eine Online-Befragung explorativ die Reaktionen und Wahrnehmungen in Form von Vor- und Nachteilen zu erfassen.
    Description: The Covid-19 pandemic has clearly influenced mobility behaviour. While public transport has to cope with a sharp decline in the number of passengers, individual forms of mobility - such as walking, cycling and car traffic - gain in importance. At the same time, protection against infection and adherence to the rules of distance are a priority. In Berlin, a so-called pop-up cycling infrastructure is being created - provisional cycle paths that allow safe cycling and the necessary distance to be maintained by means of simple tools. What reactions do the pop-up cycle paths provoke in transportation users? The aim of this study was to explore reactions and perceptions in terms of advantages and disadvantages, using an online questionnaire.

    Towards a common understanding of LCA and TEA for CO2 Utilization technologies : an exchange among policymakers, industry and practitioners ; Brussels, 1. October 2019 (2020)
    Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS)
    In:  IASS Workshop Summary
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-07-18
    Description: On October 1st, 2019, the CO2nsistent Project (co-financed by the Global CO2 Initiative and EIT Climate-KIC) and the PHOENIX Initiative jointly organized a workshop in Brussels on the topic of CO2 utilization technology and assessment methodologies such as Techno-Economic and Life Cycle assessment (TEA and LCA). The event brought together LCA and TEA practitioners, national and European policy agencies, and the corporate field. To stimulate and enhance participation, diverse session formats were offered: thematic presentations by experts, a panel discussion, as well as a break-out session modeled on the “world café” method. The foci of the day were two-fold: Learning how to support European policymakers when assessing the environmental and economic aspects of CO2 utilization, and initiating an exchange with parallel European initiatives conducting research on CCU assessment methodologies and their environmental and economic perspectives. The event shed light on some unresolved issues raised by industrial actors with regard to the upcom-ing European policy and funding mechanisms (such as ETS Phase IV and Innovation Fund), while national and European decision-makers described the difficulties they face when evaluating CO2 utilization. The current ETS rules are inadequate to properly quantify the climate benefits of indus-trial CCU application, while the Renewable Energy Directive (REDII) lacks requirements for broad-er environmental and social assessments. Workshop participants broadly agreed that the harmoniza-tion of LCA approaches could help to quantify the extent to which CCU can contribute to achieving the GHG emission targets described in the REDII, should address all environmental aspects, and can provide sound guidelines for implementing CCU in the ETS. At the same time, solution-oriented collaborations with LCA and TEA experts (e.g. the CO2nsistent group and others) were considered and examined, also with regard to new instruments and strategies to reduce complexity for policy-makers. The event also aimed at expanding the networks between the organizers and relevant actors in the field, with a particular focus on national and European policymakers. Members of CO2nsistent, LCA4CCU and the Joint Research Centre – all of whom are engaged in CCU assessment methodol-ogies – scrutinized alignments of proposed solutions and elaborated on specific divergences such as low-TRL technology. The likelihood that this effort could ultimately lead to standards for LCA and TEA for CCU was extensively debated with the direct support of the French (AFNOR) and German (DIN) associations for standardization.

    Description: Eine Vielzahl an Unternehmen nutzen Rahmenwerke, um ihre Aktivitäten hinsichtlich Nachhaltigkeit zu steuern und / oder darüber zu berichten. Es existieren zahlreiche Rahmenwerke mit Vorgaben hinsichtlich der Aktivitäten bzw. der Berichterstattung. Dies führt derzeit nicht zu der gewünschten Vergleichbarkeit von Nachhaltigkeitsleistung zwischen den anwendenden Organisationen. Ziel dieser Studie ist es, die Eigenschaften bestehender Rahmenwerke anhand exemplarisch ausgewählter Rahmenwerke herauszuarbeiten und vergleichend zu analysieren, um einen Anforderungskatalog zu entwickeln, der eine standardisierte und vergleichbare Berichterstattung zulässt. Die Firma B.A.U.M. Consult wurde vom Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS) beauftragt, diese explorative Studie zu erstellen. Das Ergebnis soll als Grundlage für die Entwicklung eines universellen, gesetzlich verpflichtenden Rahmenwerks zur Nachhaltigkeitsberichterstattung dienen. Dieser Standard soll ermöglichen, die Beiträge von Unternehmen zu einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung vergleichbar abzubilden und soll universell für Unternehmen jeder Größe und Art anwendbar sein.
    Description: Many companies use corporate sustainability reporting frameworks to manage and/or report on their sustainability activities. Numerous corporate sustainability reporting frameworks are available and provide guidelines for activities and/or reporting. As a result, it is difficult to draw comparisons between organizations with respect to their sustainability performance. This study seeks to identify the key characteristics of current frameworks on the basis of a selection of reporting frameworks and to conduct a comparative analysis of these characteristics in order to develop a catalogue of requirements to facilitate standardized and comparative reporting. B.A.U.M. Consult was commissioned by the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS) to prepare this exploratory study. The findings of this study are intended to serve as the basis for the development of a universal and legally binding framework for sustainability reporting. This new standard would facilitate the comparison of corporate contributions to sustainable development and should be designed for use by companies of all sizes and types.

    Description: Despite all the sadness, fear, bewilderment and frustration that it is generating, this pandemic is compelling us to "unlearn" and reshape our realities. In this time of radical uncertainty, two fundamental questions have emerged. Could the coronavirus open our eyes for the importance of a global transformation towards sustainable and resilient societies? More precisely, will we finally realize that human health is intrinsically dependent on healthy ecosystems? For professionals involved in sustainable development research and practice, this tragedy inevitably leads to the important theme of planetary health, an evolving field of research and practice that stresses the deep interconnectedness between nature and human health.

    Moving as One. Integrating the Health and Climate Agendas for Planetary Health in a Post-Pandemic World (2020)
    Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS)
    In:  IASS Policy Brief
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-07-18
    Description: Against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, health is receiving unprecedented public and political attention. Yet the fact that climate change also presents us with a health crisis deserves further recognition. From more deaths due to heat stress to increased transmission of infectious diseases, climate change affects the social and environmental determinants of health in ways that are profound and far-reaching. The fundamental interdependency of human health and the health of the environment is encapsulated in the concept of planetary health, a scientific field and social movement that has been gaining force since the 2015 publication of the Rockefeller Foundation-Lancet Commission report “Safeguarding human health in the Anthropocene epoch”. We see an urgent need for strategic communication to raise awareness of climate-health synergies in order to overcome the misperception that climate and health are two independent agendas. The fragmented and sector-focused nature of thinking and action remains a significant barrier to integrating health considerations into climate planning and project development. Inevitably, collaboration across sectors requires a community of practice. Despite recent efforts focused on the climate-health nexus, much work remains to be done to translate scientific findings for policymakers, mobilise climate financing resources in support of health co-benefits, and promote genderjust solutions within climate change projects.

    Mögliche Elemente einer Wasserstoffaußenpolitik : Zusammenfassung einer Gesprächsrunde von Auswärtigem Amt und IASS Potsdam am 4. März 2020 in Berlin (2020)
    Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS)
    In:  IASS Workshop Summary
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-07-18
    Description: Am 4. März 2020 kamen auf Einladung des Auswärtigen Amtes und des IASS Potsdam ca. 30 Expert*innen aus Politik, Wirtschaft, Zivilgesellschaft und Wissenschaft in Berlin zusammen um mögliche Elemente einer Wasserstoffaußenpolitik zu diskutieren. In der Gesprächsrunde wurde die Vielschichtigkeit der internationalen Dimension der Wasserstoff- und PtX-Politik sehr deutlich: neben industrie-, wirtschafts- und handelspolitischen Aspekten wurden auch entwicklungs-, geo- und sicherheitspolitische Faktoren erörtert. Weitgehende Einigkeit unter den Teilnehmer*innen bestand darin, dass Deutschland langfristig bedeutende Mengen an Wasserstoff und PtX-Produkten importieren werde. Die Teilnehmer*innen stimmten auch darin überein, dass die Entwicklung eines Systems von Nachhaltigkeitskriterien und entsprechenden Nachweisen als Grundlage für den Markthochlauf sehr wichtig sei. Von vielen Teilnehmer*innen wurde betont, dass Infrastruktur und Transport entscheidende Aspekte seien, die derzeit noch nicht genügend Beachtung in der politischen Debatte fänden. Außerdem wiesen mehrere Teilnehmer*innen darauf hin, dass die Interessen möglicher Exportländer, z.B. hinsichtlich einer eigenen Nutzung des Stroms aus erneuerbaren Energien oder grünen Wasserstoffs oder lokaler Beschäftigungseffekte, von Anfang an intensiv berücksichtigt werden müssten. Eher kontrovers wurde diskutiert, welche prioritären Anwendungsfelder während des Markthochlaufs adressiert werden sollten. Auch die Frage, in wie weit blauer und türkiser Wasserstoff als Übergangslösungen in Betracht zu ziehen sind, wurde uneinheitlich beantwortet. Die Teilnehmer*innen waren auch unterschiedlicher Meinung, was die Notwendigkeit und den Nutzen zusätzlicher internationaler Governance-Strukturen zur Ergänzung bereits bestehender Initiativen und Netzwerke angeht. Ebenso kontrovers wurde diskutiert, wer in die Entwicklung von Nachhaltigkeitskriterien eingebunden werden sollte und ob ein hohes Ambitionsniveau oder eine praktikable internationale Umsetzung diesbezüglich im Vordergrund stehen sollten. Trotz teilweise unterschiedlicher Ansichten begrüßten die Teilnehmer*innen die Möglichkeit diese Themen zu diskutieren und betonten, dass eine Intensivierung des Austauschs zu den internationalen Dimensionen der Wasserstoff- und PtX-Politik unbedingt erforderlich sei.

    Transformative Research. The IASS Approach (2020)
    Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS)
    In:  IASS Discussion Paper
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-07-18
    Description: The Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS) explores the characteristics, barriers and drivers of promising sustainability transformations, seeks ethically justified concepts of sustainable development and designs and facilitates transformation processes. As such, it performs transfor-mation research and transformative research. It addresses both societal actors and the scientific community (Chapter 1). Subsequently, the conditions and challenges of the IASS's transformative research approach will be discussed. To begin with, the approach will be located in the broader epis-temological horizon of transformative research. This is accompanied by the critique of traditional forms of research and the demand for other, inter- and transdisciplinary as well as transformative forms of research (Chapter 2). Transformative research in particular faces a series of epistemologi-cal, socio-theoretical and ethical challenges. The IASS must be aware of these and productively turn them in its work, but also understand them as a specific research task (Chapter 3). Subsequently, it is explained how transformative research is carried out at IASS (Chapter 4) and which orientation points guide its work and advice (Chapter 5).

    wpn2030 - Wissenschaftsplattform Nachhaltigkeit 2030. Finding a sustainable pathway out of the coronavirus crisis. Recommendations from the Science Platform Sustainability 2030 to strengthen Germany's Sustainable Development Policy (2020)
    Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS)
    In:  IASS Brochure
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-07-18
    Description: This discussion paper prepared by the Science Platform Sustainability 2030 (in German: Wissenschaftsplattform Nachhaltigkeit 2030, short: wpn2030) presents a number of recommendations to the German Federal government on how efforts to tackle the unfolding pandemic can be harnessed to promote sustainable development and bolster resilience to future challenges. These recommendations are of particular relevance to the forthcoming update to the German Sustainable Development Strategy (in German: Deutsche Nachhaltigkeitsstrategie, short: DNS). Building on insights developed in the wpn2030 Reflection Paper (2019) on the further development of the DNS, this paper advocates for a systematic and integrated approach to crisis management and sustainable development, as advocated by the National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina and other institutions. This paper is informed, among other things, by the results of an online consultation on the coronavirus pandemic, which was conducted over four weeks by the Science Platform, yielding 75 contributions (www.wpn2030.de/ergebnisbericht-konsultation-corona); contributions from and interviews with members of the wpn2030 Steering Committee and stakeholders from wpn20302030 working processes as well as members of the scientific advisory councils of the Federal Government; final reports from wpn2030 working groups and the Reflection Paper published in 2019 by wpn20302030 on the further development of National Sustainable Development Strategy; statements and contributions from the scientific institutions supporting the platform's activities (the German Committee for Sustainability Research on Future Earth – DKN Future Earth), the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS), and the Sustainable Development Solutions Network Germany (SDSN Germany)). In addition, the secretariat of the Science Platform analysed scientific papers, statements and position papers from a range of relevant sources, including member organizations of the multi-stakeholder "Sustainability Forum" hosted by the Federal Chancellery. In total, over 80 such contributions were reviewed. This discussion paper reflects the role of wpn2030 as a science platform and is informed by the findings of independent working processes. As such, it is not intended to represent the position of the wpn2030 Steering Committee.

    The use of energy modelling results for policymaking in the EU. Deliverable 1.1. Sustainable Energy Transitions Laboratory (SENTINEL) project (2020)
    Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-07-18
    Description: Achieving the EU’s commitment under the Paris Agreement, the Energy Union Strategy, and the European Green Deal, requires a significant transformation of current energy systems. Renewable energy is a major component of this transition, and thus, policymakers face the challenge of making decisions about new renewables-dominated energy systems. Because real world experimentation is in large scale not possible, models can serve as ‘laboratories’ by allowing policymakers to explore different decarbonisation options in a virtual world and generate a better understanding of the policy domain. While many energy policies are backed by computational models, we do not know exactly how and when policymakers use models, and to what extend policymakers influence modelling performed. We take these gaps as a starting point to empirically investigate the twofold processual interaction between computational energy modelling and energy policymaking.

    A green digitalized economy? Challenges and opportunities for sustainability (2020)
    Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS)
    In:  IASS Fact Sheet
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-07-18
    Description: Digitalization is creating new patterns of production and consumption and bringing sweeping changes across the economy. The increasing use of information and com-munication technology (ICT) has stirred hopes that this will create new opportunities for economic development and lead to more environmentally friendly production methods. The social and environmental impacts of this digital transformation are only beginning to be understood, and little reliable data on its environmental effects exists. However, some initial trends are already discernible. It remains unclear whether the digital transformation of the economy can be reconciled with the goals of sustainable development. This will depend to a large degree on how the digital transformation is shaped at the national and international levels.

    Description: Um als eine widerstandsfähigere Gesellschaft aus der Corona-Krise hervorzugehen, wird Nachhaltigkeit eine zentrale Rolle spielen. Denn während die Krise uns drastisch die Fragilität und vielfältigen Zusammenhänge unserer Gesellschaftssysteme vor Augen geführt hat, verspricht Nachhaltigkeit hingegen – verstanden als systemische Integration sozialer, ökologischer und ökonomischer Entwicklungen – maßgeblich zur Widerstandsfähigkeit unserer Gesellschaft beitragen zu können. Damit wir auf den Pfad einer krisensichereren und nachhaltigeren Gesellschaft gelangen können, ist die Wissenschaft in besonderer Weise gefragt, beispielsweise um Vorsorge und Resilienz besser zu erfassen und um integrative Lösungsoptionen hierfür zu explorieren und zu erproben. Ebenfalls dringend gefragt sind entsprechende wissenschaftliche Impulse an die Politik, damit die Erkenntnisse auch Eingang in Entscheidungsfindungen finden können. Um dies zu unterstützen und breit in der Wissenschaft anzureizen, hat die wpn2030 eine Online-Konsultation durchgeführt: “Nachhaltig aus der Krise – Wie kann Nachhaltigkeit zur Bewältigung der Corona-Krise beitragen und wie kann die Bewältigung der Krisen-Situation zur Stärkung von Nachhaltigkeit beitragen?” Forschende aller Fachrichtungen waren von 22. Mai bis 10. Juni aufgerufen, wissenschaftliche Antworten und Anregungen zu dieser Fragestellung einzureichen. Eingeflossen sind die Beiträge bereits in das Impulspapier der wpn2030 „Nachhaltig aus der Corona-Krise!“, das die wpn2030 am 13. August 2020 an die Bundesregierung im Rahmen der Weiterentwicklung der Deutschen Nachhaltigkeitsstrategie übergeben hat. Auch in weitere Arbeitsprozesse der wpn2030 werden die Konsultationsergebnisse einfließen. Das vorliegende Papier ist ein zusammenfassender Bericht der eingegangenen Beiträge der Online-Konsultation. Es beinhaltet diejenigen Beiträge, zu denen die Freigabe zur Veröffentlichung vorliegt. Auch dieser Bericht wird an die Bundesregierung übergeben, er fungiert durch die Vielfalt und Detailliertheit der Einzelbeiträge als wichtige Ergänzung zum genannten Impulspapier.

    Sedimentological analysis of marine deposits off the Bagnoli-Coroglio Site of National Interest (SNI), Pozzuoli (Napoli) Bay (2020)
    Taylor & Francis
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-11-16
    Description: We present the results of a sedimentological and mineralogical study conducted on 305 marine sediment samples (32 seafloor grab samples and 273 subsea floor samples from 91 vibrocores) collected in the marine area of the eastern Pozzuoli Bay, offshore the area of Bagnoli, that has been the site of heavy industrial activity for more than a century. The coastal (onland-offshore) area of Bagnoli–Coroglio has been recognised as a contaminated Site of National Interest (SNI) by the Italian Ministry of the Environment (2000–2001) and since then it has been the subject of a series of environmental studies that have documented a severe contamination of soils onland and marine sediments offshore. Based on the outcomes of the sedimentological classification discussed in this study we have constructed a series of thematic maps illustrating the areal distribution of the sedimentary facies at different stratigraphic levels. Our interpretation provides a support in reconstructing the complex set of environmental changes that have affected the offshore of the eastern Pozzuoli Bay prior to and after the termination of the industrial activity of the Bagnoli brownfield.
