    For a green and just transition in Europe
    (Umweltbundesamt, 2024)
    The new European Commission should pursue ambitious policies aimed at reducing both greenhouse gas emissions and pollution, even as priorities shift to security and defense. Here are recommendations by the German Environment Agency (UBA) and the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (BfN) for giving impetus to climate, environmental and biodiversity policy.Die neue Europäische Kommission sollte eine ehrgeizige Politik verfolgen, die darauf abzielt, sowohl die Treibhausgasemissionen als auch die Umweltverschmutzung zu reduzieren, auch wenn sich die Prioritäten auf Sicherheit und Verteidigung verlagern. Hier finden Sie Empfehlungen des Umweltbundesamtes (UBA) und des Bundesamtes für Naturschutz (BfN), um der Klima-, Umwelt- und Naturschutzpolitik neue Impulse zu geben.

    Shaping a proper use of biocides
    (German Environment Agency, 2024)
    Further action is required beyond active substance approval and product authorization of biocidal products to protect the environment. This action could be European legislation on the use-phase of certain biocides to shape their “proper use”. Whilst such piece of legislation is missing on EU level, countries have been implementing national measures. Within this document, we compiled examples from 13 different countries. The objective of this was (i) to provide examples for other Member States that would like to develop their national legislation further, and (ii) to provide exemplary legislation to the EU Commission to support drafting a harmonised European framework.

    The Revision of the REACH Authorisation and Restriction System
    (German Environment Agency, 2022)
    The European Commission recently announced a targeted revision of the ⁠REACH⁠ Regulation, in view of strengthening the level of protection from hazardous chemicals and simplifying the legal text.The German Environment Agency makes in this Scientific Opinion Paper specific recommendations, including on compliance checks for registration dossiers, additional information requirements, a simplified procedure for the identification of substances of very high concern, the extension of the generic risk approach to further hazard classes and derogations from restrictions for essential uses.The recommendations support current proposals at the European level. They are directed at stakeholders from academia, civil society, industry, governments and European institutions.

    The upcoming European Soil Health Law – chances and challenges for an effective soil protection
    (German Environment Agency, 2023)
    The European Soil Strategy for 2030 by the European Commission has set the foundations for an overarching approach to the protection of soils in Europe. In this scientific opinion paper, the German Environment Agency (⁠UBA⁠) lays down its key recommendations for the upcoming Soil Health Law. Feedback on legislative options is provided and experience gained in Germany in the past years on soil protection and restoration is shared. Knowing the outstanding importance of soils for human and ecosystem health, UBA strongly agrees that a new binding European legislative framework on soils with high ambition is urgently needed.

    Resource-efficient pathways towards Greenhouse Gas-Neutrality (RESCUE)
    (Umweltbundesamt, 2020) Nuss, Philip; Günther, Jens; Knoche, Guido; Purr, Katja; Deutschland. Umweltbundesamt
    The RESCUE study describes in six scenarios possible development paths towards a resource-efficient and greenhouse-gas (GHG) neutral Germany until 2050. The GreenSupreme scenario achieves the reduction of emissions along a global 1.5 ˚C path towards GHG-neutrality by 2050, while at the same time substantially lowering Germany's material footprint. This publication discusses possible synergies and overlaps of the transformation areas within RESCUE and the elements of the recently published "European Green Deal". It is hoped to inform stakeholders (e.g., governments, businesses, civil society, and science) with an interest in transformation pathways until 2050. Quelle: https://www.umweltbundesamt.de

    Effectively tackling the issue of millions of vehicles with unknown whereabouts
    (Umweltbundesamt, 2020) Kitazume, Christian; Kohlmeyer, Regina; Oehme, Ines; Deutschland. Umweltbundesamt
    6 million end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) are disposed of in the EU each year according to Eurostat statistics. However, annually, the fate of an additional 3.4 to 4.7 million deregistered vehicles is unaccounted for. A substantial share of this efflux is likely to be illegally treated or exported, thereby potentially causing environmental damage and harming European economies. To halt unauthorised treatment and illegal export of these vehicles with unknown whereabouts, an appropriate European framework for national vehicle registration systems is needed to effectively prevent leakage and intrinsically direct all ELVs into the more than 13,000 authorised treatment facilities. The certificate of destruction (CoD) as the current steering instrument under the ELV Directive 2000/53/EC can only be effective if embedded into appropriate vehicle registration/ deregistration systems. The German Environment Agency therefore recommends to complement the CoD by the following minimum requirements for national vehicle registration systems. Quelle: E-Book

    Hydrofluorocarbon emission reduction: a crucial contribution to climate protection
    (Umweltbundesamt, 2021) Graaf, Daniel de; Elsner, Cornelia; Graaf, Daniel de ; Hoffmann, Gabriele; Martens, Kerstin; Plehn, Wolfgang; Thalheim, Diana; Deutschland. Umweltbundesamt
    Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are the dominant fraction of fluorinated greenhouse gases, also known as F-gases. HFC emissions in the European Union (EU) amounted to 112 million tonnes CO2 equivalent (Mt CO2eq.) in 2018. This amounts to 2,2% of the EU's total greenhouse gas emissions. Main sources of HFC emissions are refrigeration and air conditioning plants and appliances. Following a proposal by the EU Commission, EU member states and the EU parliament just recently agreed to increase the 2030 target from 40% to 55% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions compared to the 1990 level. This considerable step-up of climate ambition by more than a third needs to be reflected also in the revision process of the F-gas Regulation, regardless of the achievements already made to curb F-gas emissions. On the occasion of the F-gas Regulation revision, the German Environment Agency proposes the acceleration of the phase-down scenario, resulting in larger reduction steps from 2024 on and a final level of 10% of the baseline by 2030 compared to 21% according to the current schedule.

    The Zero Pollution Action Plan as a chance for a cross-regulatory approach to pollution prevention and reduction
    (Umweltbundesamt, 2021) Conrad, André; Hildebrandt, Sophia; Klauk, Anja; Langner, Marcel; Schubert, Tim; Schulte, Christoph; Schwan, Johannes; Suhr, Michael; Tietjen, Lars; Vierke, Lena; Deutschland. Umweltbundesamt
    To further prevent and reduce the pollution of air, water, and soil and to safeguard human health and well-being, the European regulatory framework needs to be improved to include a cross-regulatory approach. This scientific opinion paper presents such an approach for the systemic protection of air, water, soil and human health- the Zero Pollution Ambition Cycle developed by the German Environment Agency (UBA)- The implementation of the measures announced by the European Commission within the EU Action Plan 'Towards Zero Pollution for Air, Water and Soil' published in May 2021 is an excellent opportunity for the different stakeholders for further developing and applying this integrated approach.
