    Description: Addressing food waste prevention is one target of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and a major task for the UN Environmental Programme and the European Commission. It is promising in terms of its environmental saving potential. However, it also leads to consumers being able to save money, which they then are likely to spend, thus again causing a negative environmental impact. This dimension of the so-called indirect rebound effect, which prevents the desired ecological benefits from being achieved, is investigated in this paper. By using a single-region environmentally extended input-output model from a production perspective, the indirect rebound effects from food waste prevention in Germany are analysed. Any political action needs to consider not only a differentiation in income class, but also alternative concepts such as the principles of sufficiency in order to achieve all ecological benefits and specifically the third target of SDG 12.

    Description: The concept of sufficiency - reducing energy uses beyond technical efficiency - is far-reaching and requires a reflection on human needs, energy services, urban structures, social norms, and the role of policies to support the shift towards lower-energy societies. In recent years, a growing body of literature has been published on energy sufficiency in various disciplines. However, there has been limited exchanges and cooperation among researchers so far, hindering the visibility and impact of this research. This paper presents an assessment of where sufficiency research stands, especially in the perspective of policy-making. It is the first overview paper issued in the context of the newly-founded ENOUGH network - International network for sufficiency research & policy, established in 2017. In the first part, we provide a condensed literature review on energy sufficiency, based on dozens of recent references collected through the network. Through four main themes (the nature of sufficiency, the challenges of modelling it, the barriers to its diffusion, and the approaches to foster it), we summarise the key issues and approaches. We then present what the scholars themselves see as the priorities for future research, promising sufficiency policy options, and key barriers that research should help overcome. We collected their views through a questionnaire completed by more than 40 knowledgeable authors and experts from various disciplines. We finally build on the previous parts to draw some recommendations on how sufficiency research could increase its impact, notably in relation to policy-making.

    Description: Geoethics is an emerging and expanding field which is deepening its philosophical foundations and strengthening its interactions with other disciplines. Such expansion may be in tension with the need for geoethics to be a focused framework to support geoscientists in their work. There is also a risk of ‘geoethics’ being used as a catch-all term for reflection and research when considering human actions within the Earth system. The chapter reflects on how the scope of geoethics might be constrained. It suggests that geoethics might be framed as relating to the practices and values of any human agent as part of the Earth system, whereas the complementary notion of ‘geosophy’ could be used to refer to the broader considerations regarding human–Earth system interactions.

    Description: The Sicily Channel has been affected by extensional tectonic processes, since Late Miocene and mostly during the Pliocene which leaded to the development of a number of tectonic depressions (e.g. Pantelleria, Linosa and Malta troughs). These tectonic depressions have been interpreted as large and discrete pull-apart basins involving deep crustal levels that developed in front of the Africa-Eurasia collisional belt within a large dextral wrench zone. The Sicily Channel is a region with a potentially moderate seismic and volcanic hazard, due to the occurrence, in the recent past, of volcanic eruptions sometimes accompanied by significant seismic swarms (Mmax ≤ 5). In order to provide an improved picture of the seismic characteristics of the Sicily Channel, we compiled a seismic catalog by taking into account all information coming from available instrumental catalogues, reports and instrumental data recorded covering the period 1981-2017. Moreover, taking advantage of the availability of a set of continuous GNSS stations installed along the southern Sicilian on-shore, we propose an improved picture of the current crustal deformation pattern over the investigated area. To this aim, we collected and analyzed all available data coming from the permanent GNSS stations installed across the Sicily Channel as well as the southern Sicilian onshore, spanning the 1999-2018 time interval. In addition, based on our GNSS and seismological observations, we provide a preliminary evaluation of the seismic/geodetic deformation-rate ratio for the investigated area.

    Description: The recent development of the concept ‘geoethics’ is a response by geoscientists to shape deeper engagement with their professional responsibilities and the wider societal relevance of geosciences. This introductory chapter outlines the development of geoethics to date, as a ‘virtue ethics’ focusing primarily on the role of the geoscientist, describes its meaning and function in relation to neighbouring fields and explores how to situate geoethics in relation to a wider range of issues that require ethical consideration. The emerging field of geoethics has already touched on many topics. This chapter reflects on the significance of geoethics as an effective operational toolkit for geoscientists, asking whether this functional purpose may be weakened if the range of matters considered under the term ‘geoethics’ becomes too wide.

    Description: The Paris Agreement introduces long-term strategies as an instrument to inform progressively more ambitious emission reduction objectives, while holding development goals paramount in the context of national circumstances. In the lead up to the twenty-first Conference of the Parties, the Deep Decarbonization Pathways Project developed mid-century low-emission pathways for 16 countries, based on an innovative pathway design framework. In this Perspective, we describe this framework and show how it can support the development of sectorally and technologically detailed, policy-relevant and country-driven strategies consistent with the Paris Agreement climate goal. We also discuss how this framework can be used to engage stakeholder input and buy-in; design implementation policy packages; reveal necessary technological, financial and institutional enabling conditions; and support global stocktaking and increasing of ambition.

    Description: Ziel dieses Berichts im Rahmen des Projekts "Erfolgsbedingungen für Systemsprünge und Leitbilder einer Ressourcenleichten Gesellschaft" ist es, eine solche Ressourcenleichte Gesellschaft zu definieren. Hierzu wird zunächst der Rahmen für eine Ressourcenleichte Gesellschaft durch Aufbereitung der relevanten Diskurse bestimmt. Kapitel 1 zeichnet die zeitgeschichtliche Entwicklung des ressourcenbezogenen Nachhaltigkeitsdiskurses von 1972 bis in die Gegenwart nach. Aus dieser Analyse werden relevante Gesichtspunkte für eine Ressourcenleichte Gesellschaft identifiziert und am Ende des Kapitels in einer Übersicht dargestellt. Das zweite Kapitel entwickelt darauf aufbauend den bereits genannten definitorischen Rahmen, d.h. es erfolgt eine grundsätzliche Erarbeitung der normativen Kriterien, die eine solche Gesellschaft ausmachen sollte. Kapitel 3 skizziert dann existierende Zugänge zur Ressourcenleichten Gesellschaft und zeigt wichtige Merkmale dieser Ansätze auf, welche zur Entwicklung der Ressourcenleichten Gesellschaft durch Kontrastierung oder Übernahme von Merkmalen beitragen können.

    Description: Die Große Transformation zur Nachhaltigkeit ist eine gesamtgesellschaftliche Herausforderung, für deren Bewältigung auch die Wissenschaft gefordert ist. Das Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) hat daher unter anderem die Fördermaßnahme "Nachhaltiges Wirtschaften" (NaWi) ins Leben gerufen, um Wissenschaft und Praxis in ihrer Begegnung dieser Herausforderung zu unterstützen. Ein neues Format, um diese Wissenschafts-Praxis-Kooperation als Beitrag zu einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung zu gestalten, ist das sogenannte Reallabor. Dort kommen Akteure aus Wissenschaft und Praxis zusammen, um gemeinsam Lösungen für ein realweltliches Nachhaltigkeitsproblem zu erarbeiten und auszuprobieren. Ausgehend von der konzeptionellen und empirischen Reallaborforschung des NaWi-Projekts "Wohlstands-Transformation Wuppertal" (WTW) wurden die Erfahrungen und Erkenntnisse aus den NaWi-Projekten WTW, KInChem und WohnMobil sowie die aktuelle wissenschaftliche Literatur zu Reallaboren synthetisiert. Die hieraus entstandene vorliegende Studie bietet den Leserinnen und Lesern einen umfassenden Überblick über den Aufbau und die Umsetzung von Reallaboren. Zunächst werden bisherige Reallaborverständnisse reflektiert und acht Schlüsselkomponenten von Reallaboren präsentiert. Anschließend wird das Reallabor in seiner Prozess- und seiner Strukturdimension näher beleuchtet. Ein ausführlicher Prozess-Leitfaden zeigt Schritt für Schritt auf, wie ein Reallabor-Prozess gestaltet werden sollte. Auch die teils neuen Rollen von Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern in Reallaboren werden analysiert. Schließlich werden die strukturierenden Elemente eines Reallabors vorgestellt und - wie bereits die Prozessschritte und Rollen - auf die drei NaWi-Projekte angewendet.

    Description: L’attività presentata è parte del Progetto dal titolo “Feasibility of an absolute gravity network in central Italy: toward a multi-disciplinary approach to natural risk assessment”, finanziato dall’Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) nell’ambito dei Progetti di Ricerca Libera finalizzati allo studio e al monitoraggio dei rischi naturali dell’Italia Centrale. Lo scopo del progetto è la realizzazione di una rete gravimetrica, assoluta e relativa, e di stazioni GPS a larga scala in Italia Centrale, nelle aree interessate dalla più recente attività sismica, e di gettare le basi per un approccio multidisciplinare alla valutazione del rischio naturale. La fattibilità del progetto è stata possibile per la disponibilità presso l’INGV di due gravimetri assoluti, uno da laboratorio (Micro-g LaCoste FG5#238) e uno da campagna (Micro-g LaCoste A10#39). La finalità principale del progetto è quella di rilevare, mediante l’occupazione di siti già esistenti sul territorio e misurati in passato, eventuali variazioni della gravità e di deformazioni del suolo occorse su lungo periodo. Dopo una ricerca sull’esistenza di vertici gravimetrici e GPS nel territorio, di interesse per il progetto, e a seguito di sopralluogo, sono stati selezionati 5 siti distribuiti tra Lazio e Abruzzo, come illustrato nella Fig.1. Figura 1: Distribuzione delle stazioni selezionate per misure gravimetriche e GPS in Centro Italia. Due vertici di misure relative (Terni e Popoli), appartenenti alla rete del rilievo gravimetrico condotto dall’ING nel 1954 (Morelli, 1955), sono stati collegati a due stazioni assolute instituite nell’ambito del presente progetto nella stessa area; la stazione assoluta di Sant’Angelo Romano è stata istituita nel 2005 nell’ambito di un Progetto di Ricerca INGV-DPC sui Colli Albani (Berrino et al., 2006; Riguzzi et al., 2007; D’Agostino et al., 2008); un sito per misure relative presso i laboratori superficiali dei Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) istituito nel 2010 nel corso di indagini svolte a seguito dell’evento sismico del 2009 e quando fu contemporaneamente realizzata anche una stazione assoluta nel centro della città di L’Aquila (Berrino et al., 2010); la stazione assoluta all’Aquila presso l’Università di Coppito è stata istituita nel corso del presente progetto in sostituzione di quella realizzata nel 2010 attualmente non occupabile. La prima campagna di misure è stata effettuata nella seconda metà di giugno 2018 durante la quale sono state effettuate: a) misure assolute dell’accelerazione di gravità, con il solo gravimetro FG5#238 per indisponibilità dell’A10#39; b) misure gravimetriche relative per i collegamenti tra i vari vertici assoluti e le rispettive stazioni satelliti relative, e per la misura del locale gradiente verticale della gravità nelle stazioni assolute; c) misure GPS e topografiche classiche per il posizionamento dei siti di misura e il riporto della quota, anche da capisaldi altimetrici dell’IGMI dove esistenti. Una seconda campagna di misura è stata svolta tra la fine di settembre e gli inizi di ottobre 2018 durante la quale sono state effettuate solo misure assolute di gravità, ma con entrambi i gravimetri disponibili, e ulteriori misure GPS e topografiche classiche. Nel corso della seconda campagna, data la possibilità dell’utilizzo del gravimetro assoluto da campagna, è stata anche effettuata la misura assoluta sul sito relativo dei LNGS superficiali. L’utilizzo congiunto dei due gravimetri permette la loro inter-comparazione, utile allo scopo di poter effettuare le misure assolute anche separatamente in qualsiasi altra eventuale occasione che comporta l’utilizzo di più strumenti. Il gravimetro FG5#238 è stato già più volte inter-comparato con il gravimetro di riferimento italiano (Jiang et al., 2012; Greco et al., 2015; Pálinkáš et al., 2017), che è il gravimetro Standar Primario IMGC-02 realizzato presso l’Istituto Nazionale per la Ricerca Metrologica (INRiM) di Torino; mentre per l’A10 è in fase di attuazione l’inter-comparazione direttamente presso i Laboratori dell’INRiM. L’inter-comparazione tra strumenti è, come ben noto, fondamentale per l’omogeneizzazione dei dati, e la procedura seguita rientra nelle indicazioni date nel 2014 dalla Consultive Committee for Mass and related quantities (CCM) della International Association of Geodesy (IAG) (CCM-IAG Strategy for Metrology in Absolute Gravimetry). Alcune delle stazioni assolute misurate nel presente progetto faranno parte della Rete Gravimetrica Italiana di Riferimento “G0”, che è in fase di progettazione e che sarà costituita da sole stazioni assolute della gravità opportunamente misurate e/o rimisurate. Sebbene i dati raccolti siano ancora in corso di analisi, i risultati ottenuti hanno permesso di evidenziare le variazioni di gravità e di quota occorse ai singoli vertici, sia con riferimento al periodo relativo all’istituzione di ciascun vertice (relativo o assoluto) che tra le due campagne; e in particolare, dall’analisi congiunta dei dati gravimetrici assoluti e relativi, è stato possibile confermare il bias di circa -14 mGal alla stazione di Potsdam, utilizzata come riferimento nella maggior parte dei rilievi gravimetrici condotti in Italia sin dagli anni ’50. Saranno presentati, discussi e analizzati i risultati preliminari ottenuti dalle indagini effettuate.
