dc.description.abstract | Auf Grundlage einer Bestandsaufnahme der bestehenden internationalen Governance von Ressourceneffizienz (RE) stellen wir Optionen zu ihrer Verbesserung auf kurze, mittlere und lange Sicht vor. Die Studie bietet eine rechts- und politikwissenschaftliche Perspektive zur stärkeren Verankerung von RE auf internationaler Ebene. Wir bewerten, wie das Völkerrecht und andere internationale Governance-Mechanismen wirksamer genutzt werden könnten, um RE zu erhöhen und den Ressourcenverbrauch entlang der Wertschöpfungskette zu reduzieren. Der Anwendungsbereich umfasst abiotische Ressourcen wie Metalle, Sand, Kies, Kaliumsalze, Quarzsand und fossile Rohstoffe. Unsere Bestandsaufnahme der bestehenden internationalen Governance ergibt ein gemischtes Bild: RE steht auf der internationalen Agenda, aber es gibt kaum klare Leitlinien oder verbindliche Standards. Politische Initiativen und rechtlich nicht verbindliche Mechanismen nutzen meist Empfehlungen und hochrangige politische Erklärungen zu strategischen Prioritäten. Nicht-staatliche Governance-Ansätze umfassen hauptsächlich die Berichterstattung und andere Informations- und Managementinstrumente in Bezug auf Produkte und Produktionsprozesse. Der zweite Teil entwickelt politische Optionen und Empfehlungen zur Stärkung der internationalen Governance der Ressourceneffizienz. Während die bestehenden rechtlich nicht verbindlichen Prozesse und Mechanismen z.B. im Rahmen der G20 gestärkt werden könnten, könnten verbindliche Optionen ein neues Maß a Verbindlichkeit zeigen und auch besser zu mehr Sicherheit und gleichen Wettbewerbsbedingungen beitragen. Mittel- bis langfristig könnte die bestehende politische Unterstützung für RE verstärkt und letztlich eventuell in einen vertraglichen Rahmen übertragen werden. Der Anhang enthält eine Skizze für einen Rahmenvertragstext zur Ressourceneffizienz. Quelle: Forschungsbericht | de |
dc.description.abstract | Based on a stocktake of existing governance, we present options to improve international governance of resource efficiency (RE) in the short, medium and long term. The study provides a legal and political science perspective to anchoring RE more strongly at the international level. We assess how public international law and other international governance mechanisms could be used more effectively to increase RE and reduce resource consumption along the value chain. The scope includes abiotic resources such as metals, sand, gravel, potassium salts, quartz sand, and fossil raw materials. Our stocktake of existing international governance provides a mixed picture: RE is on the international agenda, but it is hardly addressed by clear guidance or binding standards. Political initiatives and nonbindin mechanisms mostly use recommendations and high-level political statements with strategic priorities. Non-state governance approaches include mainly reporting and other information and management tools regarding products and production processes. The second part develops policy options and recommendations to strengthen international governance of resource efficiency. While the existing non-binding processes and mechanisms such as in the G20 could be strengthened, binding options could show a new level of commitment and also better contribute to more certainty and a level playing field. Mid- to long-term, the existing political support for RE might be increased and translated into a potential treaty framework. The annex includes an outline for a framework treaty text on resource efficiency. Quelle: Forschungsbericht | en |
dc.description.abstract | Resource protection and resource efficiency are an ecological, economic and social necessity. Many resources are limited and under pressure from the rising world population, production methods, consumer behaviour and the high per capita resource consumption. Using more and more resources will exceed the limits of the earth’s ecological carrying capacity in the foreseeable future. This development requires appropriate and effective measures. In its current "Resource Efficiency Programme III", the Federal Government commits to the goal of anchoring resource efficiency more strongly in international treaties, processes and institutions, and to examine options for action. At present there are no salient international treaties or institutions hat channel and focus the political debate, particularly with regard to abiotic raw materials.Therefore, in the long term, the Federal Government pursues an international treaty on increasing resource efficiency. The study analyses how global governance processes and international law can contribute to reducing resource consumption and making the utilisation of resources more efficient and effective. The study provides a stocktake and assessment of existing international law and of non-legal and certain non-governmental instruments and processes related to resource efficiency of abiotic raw materials and gives an assessment of governance proposals in academic literature. Finally specific policy options are identified. | en |
