Protection of the groundwater against loads of plant protection products: validation of the new EU-simulation model FOCUS PELMO 4 for a reliable prediction of the leaching potential of PPP into groundwater - Part B

GIS-based analysis of the protection level of the FOCUS-scenarios representative for Germany concerning climate and soil properties for the national risk assessment groundwater


The European scenario Hamburg used in the tiered approach for groundwater risk assessment of plant protection products in Europe (FOCUS) is evaluated to ascertain whether it also represents and covers German environmental conditions. A German wide analysis using geodata provides evidence that national environmental soil and climate conditions are not suitably covered by the European scenario Hambu...read more

Protection of the groundwater against loads of plant protection products: validation of the new EU-simulation model FOCUS PELMO 4 for a reliable prediction of the leaching potential of PPP into groundwater - Part A

Part A I: Validation of the national groundwater modelling approach based on results of outdoor lysimeter studies

Part A II: Results of inverse modelling optimisation using InversePELMO

The tiered approach for groundwater risk assessment of plant protection products in Europe (FOCUS) is evaluated to ensure whether this approach also represents and covers German environmental conditions. A comparison between modelled leachate concentrations and actual measurements from outdoor lysimeter studies provide evidence that a reliable and safe prediction of leachate concentrations for mos...read more

The impact of digitisation and big data analysis on the sustainable development of tourism and its environmental impact


The research report provides an overview of digitisation trends and developments in tourism with regard to resource consumption and environmental impacts. As a result, eleven relevant categories of digitisation are identified and systematised. The categories can allocated within three spheres. These are: a) data connectivity, i.e. the collection, linking and processing of data; b) the data infrast...read more

Greenhouse – Gas – Neutrality in Germany until 2050

Policy Paper to the RESCUE-Study


The success of climate and natural resource protection depends amongst others on the expansion of renewable energies. The policy paper describes the central results of the RESCUE study as well as the challenges and steps required to expand renewable energies in order to achieve greenhouse gas neutrality, and for Germany to make an appropriate contribution to the Paris Climate Agreement.read more

Potential SVHC in environment and articles – information collection with the aim to prepare restriction proposals for PFAS


The report covers main findings of two information collection activities that have been performed with the aim to collect information about per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). The information collections (literature research, IT-based surveys and targeted interviews with stakeholders) were performed to support the preparation of ⁠REACH⁠ restriction dossiers of long-chain per...read more

Assessment of the In-depth Analysis Accompanying the Strategic Long-term Vision “A clean planet for all” of the European Commission


In 2018, the European Commission published its Communication “A clean planet for all”, which calls for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. A thorough study commissioned by UBA assessing the underlying scenarios for policy making shows that central aspects for building an adequate ambitious long-term climate strategy, such as socio-economic, fiscal and technological were under consideration....read more

Fairness- and Cost-Effectiveness-Based Approaches to Effort-Sharing under the Paris Agreement

Short Study


Under the Paris Agreement (PA), Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change agreed to limit global warming to "well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels" and to make efforts to "limit the temperature rise to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels". Achieving these temperature objectives depends imperatively on sufficient national climate action in the mid-term. This study commissioned by...read more
