German sustainability strategy

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

With the German Sustainability Strategy which are targets for sustainable development (ger .: Sustainable Development Goals - SDG), transferred to the United Nations, the so-called "Agenda 2030" in a national strategy.

A national sustainability strategy has been drawn up in Germany since 2002 and has been updated in a four-year cycle since 2004. The 2016 sustainability strategy is a fundamental revision against the background of the 2030 Agenda adopted by 193 UN member states in September 2015. At the same time as the revision, the name was changed to German Sustainability Strategy.

In May 2016, a draft of the German sustainability strategy was first published. The strategy was adopted by the German government on January 11, 2017.

On July 19, 2016, Rita Schwarzelühr-Sutter ( BMUB ) and Thomas Silberhorn ( BMZ ) represented the Federal Government together with 21 other governments before the High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) Development) reported to the United Nations on the national implementation of the SDGs.

In November 2018, the Federal Cabinet decided to update the German sustainability strategy.

Confessions of the Federal Government

Germany participates in the "High-Level Support Group", the members of which have pledged to make an exemplary contribution to the rapid and ambitious implementation of the 2030 Agenda. It is committed to an ambitious and ambitious implementation and sees itself as being well positioned for an ambitious implementation the SDGs can succeed. At the European level, too, the federal government wants to campaign for ambitious implementation and for a new EU sustainability strategy.

It recognizes the planetary boundaries and acknowledges that German prosperity must not have any negative effects on the poorest countries.

She is convinced that sustainable development cannot primarily be achieved through technical progress and expects that the necessary transformation processes require a cultural change as well as large investments with which new ways to create value can be developed.

In the future, social actors should be more closely involved in the implementation of the sustainability strategy. On the one hand, a forum is intended to support the preparation of the meetings of the State Secretaries' Committee. On the other hand, the federal government wants to bundle the implementation support by science on a platform. The German sustainability strategy was updated in 2018.

Institutions

The three most important bodies with which the sustainability goals are to be advanced are:

The State Secretaries' Committee for Sustainable Development acts as the central steering body.

Since 2009, there has been an obligation to carry out a sustainability assessment of draft laws and regulations, which is anchored in the joint rules of procedure of the federal ministries (GGO) .

Programs

By 2050, Germany wants to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 80 to 95 percent compared to 1990. The federal government intends to adopt a climate protection plan for 2050 in 2016 .

In 2015, the development of a future strategy for organic farming was initiated. The aim is to achieve an area share of 20 percent in the foreseeable future. The future strategy should be available at the beginning of 2017 and implementation should begin.

"In order to implement the EU obligations, national air pollution control programs have to be drawn up".

The Federal Government's energy concept was already drawn up in 2010, the Green Economy research agenda and the National Bioeconomy Policy Strategy in 2014 and the update of the German Resource Efficiency Program (ProgRess II) in 2016 .

Along with economic and environmental organizations was in 2013, a platform Associations company Biodiversity 2020 launched on the BMUB the biodiversity wants to promote.

Indicators of the German sustainability strategy

The Federal Government adopted 63 indicators to monitor the success of the German sustainability strategy in the 2016 edition. These are the result of a political negotiation process lasting over a year between the ministries, including the Federal Statistical Office and the participation of the public and associations. Almost all of the indicators - with the exception of the indicators for the freight transport performance of railways and inland waterway vessels - of the previous national sustainability strategy have been incorporated into the German sustainability strategy with slight adjustments. However, there have been some regroupings here. The previous strategy includes four sustainability areas (intergenerational equity, quality of life, social cohesion and international responsibility), 21 postulates and 38 indicators. The new edition in 2016, on the other hand, comprised 63 indicators, which are spread across 37 postulates and the 17 global sustainability goals (SDGs). The postulate "Resource conservation: use resources sparingly and efficiently" can be found in both SDG 7 and SDG 8. In contrast to the previous strategy, in which the postulates were always formulated as calls for action (e.g. "Crime: personal security continues increase ") there is also an atypical postulate in the new edition with" German contribution to international climate finance "that does not specify any direction of action. As part of the Federal Cabinet's update of the German sustainability strategy in November 2018, the set of indicators was expanded by 3 indicators to currently 66 indicators.

Reporting on the development of the indicators

The Federal Statistical Office has been commissioned by the federal government to report on the development of the indicators. The so-called indicator report on sustainable development in Germany is published every two years . Every four years, a large part of this report is also part of the national progress report. In the indicator report, each indicator is presented individually or together with a closely related indicator on a double page. Since the indicators of the German Sustainability Strategy have been selected politically and therefore do not necessarily meet the quality requirements of official statistics, these texts also contain references to the quality and meaningfulness of the 63 indicators as far as possible.

Depending on whether the goals assigned to the individual indicators appear achievable by 2030, a weather symbol is assigned to each indicator.

In the 2016 indicator report, 21 sun and nine thunderstorm symbols are shown.

Indicators with negative development

Adult obesity rate

The proportion of obese adults increased from 10.7% to 14.1% between 1999 and 2013. A total of 34% of the adult population were considered overweight in 2013.

Previous measures of the federal government: The Federal Center for Health Education is committed to the prevention of obesity.

Further measures planned by the federal government: The national action plan IN FORM - Germany's initiative for healthy eating and more exercise is to be further developed.

Nitrate in groundwater

In 2014, the limit value of 50 mg / l nitrate in the groundwater was exceeded at 18.2% of the measuring points (annual mean). This value has not changed since 2008 and no development of the indicator is discernible. The value of 25 mg / l, which indicates severe exposure, was exceeded at more than a third of the measuring points.

Previous and planned measures by the Federal Government: The Fertilizer Act and the Fertilizer Ordinance will be revised in 2017.

Final energy consumption in freight transport

According to the Federal Government's proposal, the final energy consumption in domestic freight transport (truck> 3.5 t / rail / inland waterway transport) should be reduced by 15 to 20% by 2030. However, this energy consumption increased by 7.2% from 2005 to 2014 and the vertical range of manufacture decreased, as intermediate products were increasingly sourced at home and abroad.

Measures taken by the Federal Government to date: Strengthening the waterways and rail transport modes.

Final energy consumption in passenger transport

The final energy consumption in passenger transport within Germany (rail, air and road transport) is to be reduced by 15 to 20% by 2030. In the last 10 years (2005–2014) this energy consumption could (only) be reduced by 2.4%.

Previous measures of the federal government: Promotion of electric mobility.

Further measures planned by the federal government: The establishment of a refueling and charging infrastructure for alternative fuels is to be supported.

Overburdened by housing costs

The share of people living in households that spend more than 40% of their disposable household income on housing is around 16% and hardly changes. The target for 2030 is to reach a value of 13%.

Previous measures of the Federal Government: rental brake and reform of housing benefit -Right

Energy consumption and CO 2 emissions from consumption

The indicator also relates to the production of imported goods and thus provides information about the global environmental impact of consumer activities. The energy consumption of consumption showed an inconsistent development in the period 2005 to 2013. A continuous decrease cannot be observed.

Previous measures by the federal government: Energy consumption labeling and Blue Angel

Further measures planned by the Federal Government: Awareness-raising measures are being considered to help reduce possible rebound effects .

Biodiversity and landscape quality

When it comes to biodiversity , the aim is to achieve the same status as it was in 1975. However, since biodiversity is continually declining, it is not possible to foresee that this will be achieved.

Measures taken by the Federal Government to date: In 2007 the National Strategy on Biological Diversity was presented.

Further measures planned by the federal government: By the end of 2025, a biotope network is to be built that covers at least 10% of the area of ​​each federal state.

Payments to developing countries for proven forest preservation or reconstruction

The payments for forests under the REDD + framework are to be increased.

Criminal offenses

The number of home burglaries decreased by 26.4% between 1993 and 2015, the number of frauds increased by 82.9% and the cases of dangerous or serious bodily harm increased by 45.1%. In the last five years between 2010 and 2015, the number of burglaries rose by 37.7% and the clearance rate for burglary was only 15.2% in 2015.

Criticism of the draft of the German sustainability strategy

In its opinion of June 20, 2016, the German Council for Sustainable Development welcomed the fact that “none of the national goals that have not yet been achieved have been under the table”, but criticizes the fact that the draft takes the path of least resistance and calls for courageous Make changes.

Germanwatch considers the draft of the German Sustainability Strategy to be “too timid, contradicting in parts and not sufficiently conflict-oriented” and calls on the federal government to establish “transformative international partnerships and collaborations”. Germanwatch supports the federal government in calling for a joint sustainability strategy at EU level, as the parliamentary advisory council for sustainable development has already urged on page 230 of the draft of the German sustainability strategy.

The German network of the Sustainable Development Solutions Network demands in its preliminary statement u. a. the integration of further indicators and the description of the planned institutional participation of NGOs and academia in the transformation process. In addition, it would like to see a draft from the federal government supplemented by the existing gaps, which it would comment on with a final statement.

The German Development Institute (DIE) advocates a total of ten additional indicators and suggests using the 2030 Agenda as a frame of reference for the world trading system and interpreting the WTO rules in such a way that they are in line with the 2030 Agenda.

The parliamentary group Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen , like the German Development Institute (DIE), calls for a strengthening of the international focus of the German sustainability strategy.

The Parliamentary Advisory Council on Sustainable Development recommends that the principle of sustainability be given constitutional status in the course of implementing the German sustainability strategy.

Criticism of the version adopted in 2017

Germanwatch criticizes the fact that a turn towards sustainability in agriculture and transport is completely missing and that it is not clear how an unbridled globalization can be turned into a viable international cooperation.

The BUND criticizes "that a policy that is primarily oriented towards the goal of economic growth is in stark contrast to the limited resources".

The Pro Schiene Alliance notes that climate protection is not possible without modal shift, but that market share targets for rail freight transport are missing from the sustainability strategy.

Bernd Bornhorst ( VENRO ) calls for all policy fields to be aligned with the goal of a sustainable economic model and to say goodbye to the belief in growth as a panacea for all problems.

Updated in 2018

In November 2018, the Federal Cabinet decided on a revised sustainability strategy. This stipulates that private and public spending on research and development should increase to at least 3.5% of GDP by 2025. The proportion of organic farming is to increase to 20% of the cultivated area by 2030.

The revised sustainability strategy names six newly formulated principles of sustainable development:

  1. Consistently apply sustainable development as a guiding principle everywhere
  2. Assume global responsibility
  3. Strengthen the natural foundations of life
  4. Strengthen sustainable business
  5. maintaining and improving social cohesion in an open society and
  6. Using education, science and innovations as drivers of sustainable development.
