Protection of wild pollinators in the pesticide risk assessment and management

This research project investigated the current scientific knowledge on flower visiting insects with special attention on their ecology, their toxicological sensitivity and their exposure towards pesticides. On this basis the key elements for an environmental risk assessment for flower visiting insects have been discussed and the feasibility and effectiveness of risk management options, which have...read more

Sustainability in tourism: developments, approaches and clarification of terms

The concepts of sustainability and tourism are both highly complex. Tourism is defined by the activities of travellers and all related economic sectors as well as the resulting effects on the environment and society. Sustainability, on the other hand, encompasses at least the three dimensions of environment, social affairs and economy, and sometimes also other dimensions such as management. The pa...read more

Comparison of the environmental properties of parasiticides and harmonisation of the basis for environmental assessment at the EU level

Parasiticides are veterinary pharmaceuticals very frequently used in pasture animals. Particularly substances of the classes of avermectins and milbemycins are very common. These substances are highly toxic to non-target organisms, often stable in the environment (persistent) and may potentially accumulative in organisms. The present project contributes to filling environmental data gaps for averm...read more

Global greenhouse gas emission pathways until 2050

The project „Global greenhouse gas emission pathways until 2050“ assesses the requirements for limiting future global temperature rise to well below 2°C. It then explores to what extent current climate policies, and especially the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) support or endanger the achievement of the non-climate specific UN sustainable development goals (SDGs) and from here specific...read more

Method development for analysis of pharmaceuticals in environmental samples

Since the last decades the increasing currency of pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment and their risk potential for the aquatic life has become an urgent issue. The number of pharmaceuticals detectable in the low μg/L range in the environment is rising each day. Against this background the aim of this project was the development, optimization, validation and comparison of analytical methods...read more

How can existing national climate policy instruments contribute to ETS development?

Before introducing an emissions trading system, jurisdictions have to consider the ex-isting energy and climate policy framework. This report seeks to analyse and evaluate non-ETS climate policy instruments, such as carbon taxes or green certificate trading schemes, regarding their suitability to serve as a basis for establishing emission trading systems. There is a general assessment of prototypi...read more
