Veröffentlichung Bodenaktions-Planer(2015)Der Bodenaktions-Planer richtet sich an alle, die Aktivitäten zur Förderung des Bodenbewusstseins initiieren möchten, zum Beispiel an Behörden, Gremien und Verbände. Er unterstützt bei der Konzeption und Planung und gibt Anregungen.Veröffentlichung Components for the Transformation into a Sustainable Food System(German Environment Agency, 2024)The publication summarizes three strategies for transforming the food system that have been outlined in the “STErn project”, namely the promotion of a more plant-based diet, the further development of the organic farming and food industry and the strengthening of regional value chains. Measures to implement these strategies are bundled into three overarching approaches and presented graphically in the form of profiles. An interactive graphic provides an overview of all 39 proposed measures at a glance.Veröffentlichung EXURB environmental(Umweltbundesamt, 2022) Büttner, Alena; Lindmaier, Jörn; Dross, Miriam; Reißmann, Daniel; Schmied, Martin; Janitzek, Timmo; Schröder, Alice; Schubert, Susanne; Deutschland. Umweltbundesamt; Dziekan, Katrin; Schäfer, Marco; Lange, Martin; Jahn, Helge; Thierbach, Roman; Weinandy, René; Myck, Thomas; Steindorf, Annett; Wothge, Jördis; Grimski, Detlef; Schlippenbach, Ulrike von; Rau, Christoph; König, Peggy; Bartke, Stephan; Alsleben, Carsten; Bölke, MichaelThe city suburbs are becoming EXURBS; the centre of life for millions of people and the intermediate space between cities and countryside is developing dynamically. Living "in the green countryside" is in high demand. Digitisation and the coronavirus pandemic have further bolstered suburbanization. The brochure deals with the question of how a sustainable development between the city and the surrounding area can be achieved as well as how we can live and work, engage in recreation and be mobile in the EXURB in a more environmentally and climate-friendly manner. It shows which concrete measures we can use to combine an environmentally friendly development of the EXURB with a high quality of life and what role can be played by a stronger spatial, functional, content-related and organizational integration. The brochure is oriented towards decision-makers at the federal, state and local levels, planning and environmental associations, practitioners from the various planning disciplines and scientists.

UmweltbundesamtOperators of waste water treatment plants have to make decisions on the economical and environmentally safe management of the generated sewage sludge. This guidance gives orientation on the various aspects that should be considered in conjunction with efforts to achieve an optimised sewage sludge disposal and to maximise the utilisation of this secondary resource within an economically sound framework.Quelle: https://www.umweltbundesamt.deVeröffentlichung Internal development in urban growth regions(Umweltbundesamt, 2023) Buchert, Matthias; Wagner, Tobias; Fischer, Heidrun; Deutschland. Umweltbundesamt; Schlippenbach, Ulrike vonCities in growth regions face major urban development challenges in meeting the demand for housing within the city. At the same time, capacity limits of urban technical infrastructures may arise and counteract the guiding principle of compact and thus land-saving inner development. The project therefore investigated the potentials for inner-city development using model cities as examples to examine to what extent these can meet the provision of living space quantitatively and qualitatively, and which synergies but also burdens through inner-city development can be identified with regard to urban infrastructures. For this purpose, water supply and wastewater disposal, waste management, transport (especially public transport) as well as local and district heating/cooling were considered.

Umweltbundesamt; Frauenstein, Jörg; Lenz, KatharinaEnvironmental authorities globally are challenged with the complexity of problems associated with contaminated sites. For protecting human beings and the quality of the environmental media air, water and soil, the prevention and elimination of hazards as well as impact mitigation are crucial. This manual presents information and solution-oriented procedures for all stakeholders with a focus on identification, investigation, assessment and remediation of contaminated sites at typical facilities of the oil and gas industry, such as exploration sites, tank farms and refineries. Its application shall contribute to improving the technical and administrative management and the remediation of contaminated sites.

A comprehensive update of all value factors – including components such as emission factors and utilization rates – will be published in the Handbook on Environmental Value Factors 4.0, scheduled for 2025.Environmental value factors reflect the benefit of environmental protection for society – and the costs that society incurs if environmental protection is neglected. The value factors can be used in the public sector to assess, e.g., the impacts of regulation and infrastructure investments, and for the design of economic instruments. In the corporate sector, the value factors can be used, i.a., to inform management decisions, monetize the environmental impacts of financial investments, and in sustainability reporting.Veröffentlichung Plastics in the environment(Umweltbundesamt, 2020) Busse, Lilian; Rechenberg, Bettina; Bannick, Claus Gerhard; Beulker, Camilla; Biegel-Engler, Annegret; Brauer, Frank; Chorus, Ingrid; Claussen, Ulrich; Ebert, Ina; Eichler, Philipp; Gast, Marcus; Gohlisch, Gunnar; Grummt, Tamara; Heidemeier, Joachim; Hermann, Tim; Krüger, Franziska; Langner, Marcel; Mönch, Lars; Mohaupt, Volker; Oehme, Ines; Roskosch, Andrea; Schmidt, Ralf; Schmied, Martin; Scholz, Katrin; Tietjen, Lars; Weiss, Volker; Werner, Stefanie; Wichmann-Fiebig, MarionPlastics are important materials, and the demand for and the consumption of plastic has been increasing for years. When plastics enter the environment, they can cause great damage to both ecosystems and living organisms. Meanwhile, plastics is found in oceans, rivers, lakes, and soil. One of the mains causes worldwide is the lack of insufficient waste and wastewater management but there are many other sources like tyre abrasion, films from agriculture, or plastic particles from cosmetics or cleaning materials. In addition, more and more plastic material enters the environment through littering. This paper shows - with regard to Germany - where we stand, what we need to do, what the research needs are, and which measures we can already implement in order to tackle the problem.
