    Knowledge as transformative energy : on linking models and experiments in the energy transition in buildings (2017)
    München : Oekom-Verl.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-02-18
    Description: The transformation processes towards a sustainable development are complex. How can science contribute towards new solutions and ideas leading to change in practice? The authors of this book discuss these questions along the energy transition in the building sector. A transformative research that leaves the neutral observer position needs appropriate concepts and methods: how can knowledge from different disciplines and from practice be integrated in order to be able to explain and understand complex circumstances and interrelations? What role do complex (agent-based) models and experiments play in this respect? Which mix of methods is required in transformative science in order to actively support the actors in transformation processes? Theses questions are illustrated by the example of the BMBF funded project "EnerTransRuhr".

    Decoupling energy and resource use from growth in the Indian construction sector : a baseline study (2017)
    Berlin : Dt. Ges. für Techn. Zusammenarbeit
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-02-18
    Description: India is currently at a crucial juncture where it is aiming for economic growth to meet the basic needs of its 1.2 billion people. However, so far this growth has resulted in energy shortages and the increasing use of limited resources. This policy brief series is about decoupling, i.e. improving efficiency to reduce the resources and energy needed for this growth and meet the country's increasing development needs. The construction sector is highly resource and energy intensive; it is therefore imperative that it moves towards a path of environmental sustainability. This transition is likely to be achieved by decoupling both resource and energy use from the sector's growth. Decision-makers in the sector will play a crucial role in achieving this. The aim of this policy brief series is to inform decision-makers in India at central government and state level about the current status of research, policy and institutions in the Indian construction sector and to identify key drivers and barriers. Finally, practical recommendations will be made for decision-makers about how to promote decoupling of resource and energy use from growth in the construction sector. Policy brief 1 focuses on the baseline for decoupling in the Indian construction sector. The study draws attention to the existing scenario in terms of key policies, research and institutions linked to resources and energy in the sector.

    Decoupling energy and resource use from growth in the Indian construction sector : a potential analysis study (2017)

    Description: India is currently at a crucial juncture where it is aiming for economic growth to meet the basic needs of its 1.2 billion people. However, so far this growth has resulted in energy shortages and the increasing use of limited resources. This policy brief series is about decoupling, i.e. improving efficiency to reduce the resources and energy needed for this growth and meet the country's increasing development needs. The construction sector is highly resource and energy intensive; it is therefore imperative that it moves towards a path of environmental sustainability. This transition is likely to be achieved by decoupling both resource and energy use from the sector's growth. Decision-makers in the sector will play a crucial role in achieving this. The aim of this policy brief series is to inform decision-makers in India at central government and state level about the current status of research, policy and institutions in the Indian construction sector and to identify key drivers and barriers. Finally, practical recommendations will be made for decision-makers about how to promote decoupling of resource and energy use from growth in the construction sector. Policy brief 2 focuses on analysing the potential for decoupling in the Indian buildings and construction sector. Primary and secondary research was conducted to identify the factors that influence decoupling. Subsequently, a framework was established to make it possible to measure the nature and extent of decoupling that is possible within the existing policy environment. Furthermore, gaps, drivers and barriers have been identified which could enable a potential analysis study on decoupling to be carried out. In addition, examples of good practice from Germany and other European countries have been studied with a view to learning lessons that can help to bridge the current gaps in India.

    Anpassung an regionale Klimafolgen kommunizieren : Konzepte, Herausforderungen und Perspektiven (2014)
    München : Oekom-Verl.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-02-08
    Description: Der Klimawandel ist nicht nur ein globales Problem, sondern wird auch konkrete Folgen für die Menschen in Deutschland haben. Nur wenn es gelingt, die zukünftigen Klimaveränderungen und ihre voraussichtlichen Folgen zu kommunizieren, ist eine rechtzeitige Anpassung möglich. Nur dann können Gefahren minimiert und Chancen genutzt werden. Wie aber kann vermittelt werden, dass die Anpassung an Klimafolgen notwendig ist - obwohl unbekannt ist, welches Ausmaß die Klimaveränderungen und die Folgen in der Region haben werden? Bei wem führen eher moralische und bei wem eher nutzenorientierte Argumente zu erhöhter Handlungsbereitschaft? Welche Kommunikationsmethoden eignen sich für welche Zielgruppen? Wie können Jugendliche für das Zusammenspiel von Klimaschutz und Anpassung sensibilisiert werden? Fundierte Theorieansätze und zahlreiche Praxisberichte erschließen den vergleichsweise neuen Aufgabenbereich "Klimaanpassungskommunikation". Eine steckbriefhafte Zusammenstellung von erprobten Instrumenten und Formaten illustriert, welche Maßnahmen Erfolg versprechen.
