How can Arctic Council observers engage strategically and practically in Arctic environmental protection. In an exchange with states that are active in the High North, indigenous communities, businesses, research and civil society, potential solutions are developed for a sustainable development in the Arctic that allows to reconcile a wide spectrum of interests in the region.

Das IASS und das Ecologic Institute laden Sie im Namen des Umweltbundesamt ein, sich über eine Region im Wandel und deutsche Aktivitäten in der Arktis zu informieren. Am 22. Oktober 2018 wird ab 17.30 Uhr der Sauriersaal des Museums für Naturkunde in Berlin ganz im Zeichen der eisigen Welt rund um den Nordpol stehen. Vertreterinnen und Vertreter aus der Arktisforschung stellen sich Ihren Fragen.

Bei der Energiewende steht bisher die Entwicklung der Strominfrastruktur im Mittelpunkt. Die Erdgasinfrastruktur ist für die Nachhaltigkeitstransformation aber ebenso wichtig. Diese Tagung am IASS fokussiert auf Erdgas als Teil des fossilen Trios

Innovative CO2 utilisation technologies have shown great potential in reducing environmental impacts and creating economic opportunities. Standardised life-cycle assessment (LCA) and techno-economic assessment (TEA) guidelines are crucial for a comprehensive and transparent comparison between different technologies. The guidelines aim at enabling a comprehensive and transparent comparison between different technologies, reducing ambiguity in assessment results and avoiding pitfalls, thus accelerating funding decisions and promoting further technology development.

The 2nd KLASICA Symposium will take place from 29 September to 2 October 2018 at the Risk Society and Policy Research Center (RSPRC) in Taipei, Taiwan. It will revolve around narratives of vision and identity that guide and motivate societal change toward sustainable futures and their applicability for modeling social dynamics. Applications to participate in the Symposium can be made up to 15 June.

The public event will consist of a presentation of findings by the contractor and followed by a panel discussion around key issue areas identified during the study. The panel will be composed of leading experts in the field of CCU from the side of academia, industry and policy, and will lead to discussions on topics such as current and future potential for CCU technologies in the EU, industry and research efforts, policy implications, links to EU climate objectives, energy issues, and impacts on other technologies (such as electrification, hydrogen, and renewables).

The fifth Potsdam Summer School from 10 to 19 September 2018 will explore the terrestrial earth surface system, which is driven by geological, biological and climatic forces. Early-career scientists and young professionals with an interest in frontier research questions on sustainable development can apply to participate in the Summer School until 15 May.

Marine Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (ABNJ) cover about half of the planet’s surface, have high biodiversity and deliver important ecosystem services. While there is a growing economic and political interest in exploitation of marine resources in ABNJ, there is to date no comprehensive global instrument for the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity in these areas (BBNJ).
