- Abstract
The reduction of greenhouse gases such as CO
2 emissions and their equivalents (CO2e) generally has three aspects: Fugitive direct emissions (anesthetic gases, exhaust gases), indirect emissions through the purchase of energy (electricity, heat) and emissions in the supply chain (supply of consumables, disposal). Since pediatric anesthesia has a traditional affinity with inhalation, the use of anesthetic gases should be repeatedly questioned and, if possible, avoided on the way to net zero emissions in addition to general measures to conserve resources. In children, analgosedation, total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and establishment of venous access prior to the induction of anesthesia are particularly suitable for this purpose. In addition to avoiding greenhouse gases, the methods mentioned offer other significant medical advantages and can also be profitable in terms of safety and comfort. Nevertheless, anesthetic gases are required in pediatric anesthesia in some situations. For this reason, it is important to save anesthetic gases through minimal fresh gas flow and a rational approach to inhalation induction. To facilitate implementation in clinical practice, this article provides recommendations for mask induction and choice of anesthetic procedure., (© 2023.

- Abstract
Anesthetic gases are potent greenhouse gases, which are currently released into the atmosphere where they remain for many years. Strategies to reduce the carbon footprint in anesthesiology without compromising patient safety are urgently needed. Since 2020 several departments of anesthesiology have installed anesthetic gas capture systems with which anesthetic gases can be collected. This article aims to describe the anesthetic gas capture system CONTRAfluran™ and to give an overview of the first experiences in four departments of anesthesiology working with the new device in the daily clinical routine. The CONTRAfluran™ system presents a new concept in the surgical setting that has the potential to reduce the carbon footprint in anesthesiology; however, in order to accurately estimate CO
2 equivalent savings, more information concerning the reprocessing and data on the pharmacokinetics of anesthetic gases are needed. Application of the CONTRAfluran™ system in daily clinical routine is feasible when anesthesiologists are aware of specific issues. In order to minimize the carbon footprint, it remains essential to implement the specific recommendations in the position paper of the German Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care medicine (DGAI) and the Professional Association of German Anaesthesiologists (BDA) on ecological sustainability in anesthesiology and intensive care medicine and to support further research., (© 2022.

Background: The healthcare sector is responsible for 5.2% of CO2 emissions in Germany. The prescribing of medicines is a significant contributor. Among the prescribed medicines, metered dose inhalers (MDIs) play a decisive role due to the propellant gases they contain. A relevant reduction in emissions is possible by switching to dry powder inhalation systems (DPI). Aim: The guideline "Climate-conscious prescribing of inhalants" is intended to provide assistance in the prescribing of inhaled medicines by summarising the available evidence on the decision between DPI and MDI and explicitly addressing the aspect of climate damage caused by propellants. It addresses everyone involved in prescribing and counselling those affected. Materials and methods: The S2k guideline was drawn up under the joint leadership of DEGAM (German College of General Practitioners and Family Physicians) and the German Society for Pneumology and Respiratory Medicine (DGP) under moderation of the AWMF (Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany). The main contents from a practical perspective are presented in this paper. Results: Overall, MDIs account for a high proportion of inhaler prescriptions in Germany. The aspects of climate damage should be considered when prescribing MDIs. In order to facilitate implementation in practice, several decision aids were developed. Conclusion: The guideline is the first to address the importance of prescribing a group of medicines in relation to climate change. The degree of implementation of the guideline recommendations can be determined by future analyses of prescription data. A planned practical test is required to check the acceptance of the decision aids. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Pakistan contributes the lowest to per capita greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions but is among the five worst affected countries in the world. This paper forecasts tomato production under climate variability in Pakistan. Time series data were collected from Government of Pakistan (GOP), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and World Bank's online sources. Both quantitative and qualitative techniques were applied to analyze the data. For quantitative analyses, dynamic forecasting techniques were used, and qualitative analyses were carried out using the rapid appraisal method. The results concluded that temperature shocks have adverse dynamics on tomato production as well as prices. An ambiguous role of rainfall was found i.e., in some areas it had positive impact while in other areas had negative impacts. Several issues were identified including limited area of production, low yields, pests and disease stresses, labor shortage, poor water management and lack of modern information. It is suggested that value chain industry of tomato must be developed in tomato growing areas Furthermore, the access of farmers to reliable information about weather dynamics must be ensured.

This paper examines the effects on CO2 emissions from daily mobility of various scenarios of periurban residential location. These scenarios are studied on two contrasted periurban areas, one depending on the urban agglomeration of Lyon, the other on the urban agglomeration of Strasbourg. The study is focused on the polarization of urbanization, based on the hypothesis that, with regards to urban planning, the issue is less linked to the densification of the urban fabric than to its polarization. However, the relocation of housing in selected periurban poles results in limited reductions of CO2 emissions. The social and political costs of these scenarios and their low impact on CO2 emissions make their relevance even lower, especially when compared to mobility scenarios. Finally, the role of urban planning for easing these mobility scenarios is discussed.

Diese Masterarbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, ob Wärmepumpen im Sektor der Industrie bzw. im Sektor der produzierenden Betriebe, als technisch sinnvolle Variante zu den bestehenden Gas- und Ölkesseln einsetzbar sind. Die Motivation hinter dieser Fragestellung ist, den Dekarbonisierungspfad, wie er im EU Green Deal festgelegt ist, umsetzen zu können. Der Text dreht sich um zwei Forschungsfragen: • Welches Gesamtkonzept, aus Sicht der Industriebetriebe, ist notwendig, um im Zuge des Green Deals Wärmepumpen flächendeckend als Alternative zu verwenden? • Ist es technisch möglich und sinnvoll, bestehende Produktionsanlagen bei produzierenden Mittel- und Großbetrieben auf Wärmepumpen umzurüsten? Um diese Fragen beantworten zu können, wird mit der Methode der systemischen Literarturrecherche zuerst der nationale Energiemarkt, inklusive aller relevanten Branchen in der produzierenden Industrie, analysiert. In weiterer Folge werden zwei Betriebe aus dem Bereich der Lebensmittelindustrie anhand der extrahierten Daten aus ihren Nachhaltigkeitsberichten miteinander verglichen. Hier wird untersucht, ob sich eine Umstellung der thermischen Erzeugung auf ein Wärmepumpensystem, ökonomisch rentieren kann und wenn ja, welche Rahmenbedingungen dazu vorherrschen müssen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass es – sofern die in der Arbeit definierten Rahmenbedingungen eingehalten werden können – wirtschaftlich und ökologisch sinnvoll ist, auf Wärmepumpentechnologie umzusteigen. Die gewonnen Erkenntnisse helfen dabei ein Verständnis zu entwickeln, dass auch eine großflächige Adaptierung der bestehenden Industrieanlagen möglich wäre. Die benötigten Grundvoraussetzungen können von vielen Betrieben erfüllt werden, bzw. besteht die Möglichkeit diese in naher Zukunft zu erfüllen. Dies lässt auf eine Reduktion der Treibhausgasmissionen einer der größten Emittenten, nämlich den Industriebetrieben – hoffen. This thesis deals with the question whether heat pumps can be used in the industrial sector or in the sector of manufacturing companies as a technically reasonable alternative to the existing gas and oil boilers. The motivation behind this question is to be able to implement the decarbonization path as defined in the EU Green Deal. The text revolves around two research questions: • What overall concept, from the perspective of industrial companies, is necessary to use heat pumps as an alternative across the board as part of the Green Deal? • Is it technically possible and sensible to convert existing production facilities at medium-sized and large manufacturing companies to heat pumps? To answer these questions, the method of systemic literature research is first used to analyze the national energy market, including all relevant sectors in the manufacturing industry. Subsequently, two companies from the food industry are compared with each other based on the extracted data from their sustainability reports. Here it is examined whether a conversion of the thermal production to a heat pump system can be economically profitable and if so, which basic conditions must prevail for this. The results show that - provided the framework conditions defined in the paper can be met - it makes economic and ecological sense to switch to heat pump technology. The knowledge gained helps to develop an understanding that large-scale adaptation of existing industrial plants would also be possible. The required basic conditions can be fulfilled by many plants, or there is the possibility to fulfill them in the near future. This gives hope for a reduction of the greenhouse gas emissions of one the largest emitters, the industrial plants.

Nach den aktuellen Regierungsprogrammen, soll Österreich bis zum Jahr 2040 klimaneutral werden. Klimaneutralität bedeutet, dass insgesamt weniger CO2 emittiert als aufgenommen bzw. gebunden werden kann. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist vor allem die Baubranche gefordert, Maßnahmen für mehr Nachhaltigkeit zu treffen, um die CO2-Emissionen in Zukunft zu reduzieren und die nationalen und internationalen Klimaziele zu erreichen. Die Asphaltproduktion als Teilbereich der Baubranche steht somit ebenfalls vor der Herausforderung, ihre CO2-Emissionen zu reduzieren und ein Bewusstsein für den Klimaschutz zu schaffen. Die gegenständliche Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Untersuchung und Analyse von Maßnahmen zur Reduktion der CO2-Emissionen bei der Asphaltproduktion. Ziel ist es, die Nachhaltigkeitspotentiale bei der Asphaltproduktion aufzuzeigen und unterschiedliche Maßnahmen zu untersuchen, mit welchen der Ausstoß von Treibhausgasen bei der Asphaltproduktion verringert werden kann. Einleitend werden die Randbedingungen der Untersuchungen erläutert sowie die Systemgrenzen festgelegt. Anschließend wird auf den Baustoff Asphalt, die Asphaltproduktion sowie auf die aktuellen Normen und Richtlinien im Zusammenhang mit der Asphaltproduktion eingegangen. Im zweiten Teil der Arbeit wird die Umweltwirkung der konventionellen Asphaltproduktion ermittelt. Auf Basis der gewonnenen Daten wurden folgende Maßnahmen untersucht, um die CO2-Emissionen bei der konventionellen Asphaltproduktion zu reduzieren: - Zugabe von Asphaltrecycling - Reduktion der Feuchtigkeit des Gesteins - Art des Energieträgers - Auslastung der Asphaltmischanlage Abschließend findet sich eine Darstellung der Ergebnisse mit Schlussfolgerung auf Basis der vorangegangenen Untersuchungen. According to the current government programmes, Austria is to become climate neutral by 2040. Climate neutrality means that in total less CO2 is emitted than can be absorbed or bound. Against this background, the construction industry in particular is called upon to take measures for more sustainability in order to reduce CO2 emissions in the future and to achieve the national and international climate targets. Asphalt production, as a sub-sector of the construction industry, is thus also faced with the challenge of reducing its CO2 emissions and creating awareness for climate protection. This study deals with the investigation and analysis of measures to reduce CO2 emissions in asphalt production. The aim is to show the sustainability potentials in asphalt production and to examine different measures with which the emission of greenhouse gases in asphalt production can be reduced. At the beginning, the boundary conditions of the investigations are explained and the system boundaries are defined. Then, the building material asphalt, asphalt production and the current standards and guidelines with regard asphalt production are discussed. In the second part of the paper, the environmental impact of conventional asphalt production is determined. Based on the data obtained, the following measures were investigated to reduce CO2 emissions in conventional asphalt production: - Addition of asphalt recycling - Reduction of the moisture content of the aggregate - Type of energy source - Utilisation of the asphalt mixing plant Finally, there is a presentation of the results with a conclusion based on the previous investigations.

Nachhaltigkeit gewinnt zunehmend an Bedeutung, vor allem wenn es sich um die Reduktion von Schadstoffen handelt. Im Interesse des Gemeinwohles wurden Strategien entwickelt, um die Zerstörung der Erde durch globale Erwärmung einzudämmen. Das Thema Nachhaltigkeit wird, auch in der Baubranche immer wichtiger. Nachhaltiges Bauen beginnt schon in der Planungsphase und reicht bis zum Ende des Lebenszyklus des Gebäudes. Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem derzeitigen Stand der Baustellenabwicklung in Bezug auf Nachhaltigkeit. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die CO2-Ausstöße. Zunächst werden Begriffe, die zum Verständnis der Arbeit wichtig sind, erläutert, wie zum Beispiel Nachhaltigkeit und CO2-Emissionen samt Treibhauseffekt. Im Anschluss werden die Baustelle in der Seestadt, im Wildgarten und Thürnlhof beschrieben, da sie als „Best-Practice“-Baustellen gelten. Anhand der Analyse der eingesetzten Maßnahmen auf den genannten Baustellen, soll untersucht werden, ob mit diesen Maßnahmen eine bedeutende CO2-Reduktion erreicht werden kann. Ferner werden die Hindernisse beschrieben, wobei Transport und Abfallwirtschaft im Fokus stehen. Danach werden die Handlungsempfehlungen dargestellt. Wege zur Reduzierung des Straßenverkehrs werden ermittelt sowie berechnet, inwiefern sie nachhaltiger gemacht werden könnten. Bezüglich der Abfallwirtschaft wird die Sortierung bzw. Wiederverwendung der Materialien in Betracht gezogen. Daraufhin folgt das Fazit, wo dargelegt werden soll, ob die derzeitigen Maßnahmen zur CO2-Reduktion ausreichend sind, um der österreichischen Klima- und Energiestrategie gerecht zu werden. Sustainability is becoming increasingly important, especially when it comes to reducing pollutants. In the interest of the common good, strategies have been developed to curb the destruction of the earth through global warming. The topic of sustainability is becoming increasingly important, even in the construction industry. Sustainable construction begins in the planning phase and extends to the end of the building's life cycle. This paper deals with the current state of construction site management in terms of sustainability. The focus is on CO2 emissions. First, terms that are important for understanding the work are explained, such as sustainability and CO2 emissions including the greenhouse effect. Subsequently, the construction sites in Seestadt, Wildgarten and Thürnlhof are described, as they are considered "best practice" construction sites. Based on the analysis of the measures used on the mentioned construction sites, it will be investigated whether a significant CO2 reduction can be achieved with these measures. Furthermore, the obstacles will be described, with a focus on transport and waste management. Then, the recommendations for action will be presented. Ways to reduce road transport are identified, as well as calculating the extent to which they could be made more sustainable. Regarding waste management, sorting or reuse of materials is considered. This is followed by the conclusion, where it will be presented whether the current CO2 reduction measures are sufficient to meet the “Austrian Climate and Energy strategy”.

The European system of tradable CO
2 allowances is an important step towards implementing a market oriented environment policy. For the time being, the quantitative emission reductions defined in the National Allocation Plans (NAP) are still minor, but this outcome seems acceptable because institution building is of high priority during the first phase 2005–2007. Later, more ambitious emission reductions will follow. A closer look at the genesis of the NAP raises however some doubts about the future effectiveness of the new instrument. By analysing the CO2 allocation decisions in Germany the article shows that the greenhouse gas issue can today successfully be misused by politicians and interest groups towards achieving egoistic goals and it concludes that this did happen at the expense of the proclaimed environmental target. Due to the particular character of the greenhouse gas problem this diagnosis may hold as long as no socially and economically acceptable greenhouse gas abatement technologies have become available.

Cette note envisage les composantes explicatives des émissions de Gaz à effet de serre : coefficient d’émission par habitant et par unité monétaire de PNB, effets des masses de population et de production. La part de ces derniers est parfois curieusement sous estimée dans la littérature, et il semble nécessaire d’insister sur leur rôle majeur. Après une présentation cartographique et graphique de quelques données essentielles, on se livre à une expérimentation prospective à partir de ces données et des objectifs couramment mentionnés dans les accords internationaux. On cherche à en tirer quelques leçons. This short paper takes into account the main components of the explanation of emissions of green house gases: emission coefficient by inhabitant and by GPO monetary unit, and mass effects, demographic and production related. The latter are sometimes curiously under valued, and it has seemed useful to emphasize the part that they play. Following a presentation based on maps and graphs of available data, we present some “prospective experiments” based on these data and on the aims most often mentioned in recent international agreements.

Zusammenfassung : In dieser Studie werden Dokumente der Europäischen Kommission zur künftigen Klimaschutzstrategie, eine Studie von McKinsey sowie ein UNFCCC-Papier in Hinblick auf Aussagen zu Klimaschutzmaßnahmen im Agrar- und Forstbereich untersucht. Die EU-Dokumente lassen einen steigenden politischen Handlungsbedarf für den Klimaschutz auch außerhalb des Treibhausgasemissions-Handelssystems (EU-ETS) erwarten. Die anderen beiden Dokumente geben Einschätzungen zu weltweiten Klimaschutzpotentialen wieder, und die Ergebnisse sind nur sehr eingeschränkt auf Deutschland anwendbar. In Kapitel 3 werden erste Ergebnisse einer Literaturanalyse zu Potentialen und Kosten von Maßnahmen im Agrarbereich dargestellt. Die Literaturanalyse ergab keine umfassenden, für Deutschland gültigen Aussagen, vielmehr zeigt sich eine hohe Sensitivität von Methoden, Annahmen und Systemabgrenzungen für die Bewertungen von THG-Minderungsmaßnahmen im Agrarsektor. Zur Bewertung von Minderungspotentialen und Kosten von Klimaschutzmaßnahmen im Agrarsektor gibt es daher weiteren Untersuchungsbedarf. Für den Forstsektor werden in Kapitel 4 die Kohlenstoffsequestrierung und Treibhausgas-Vermeidungskosten durch Aufforstung und Forstmanagement dargestellt. Die Studie schließt in Kapitel 5 mit Schlussfolgerungen für die Politik. Im Agrarbereich sollten bereits festgelegte Umweltziele, die dem Klimaschutz dienen, verfolgt werden (Optimierung Biogasanlagen, Moorschutz, Reduzierung von Stickstoffüberschuss und Ammoniakemissionen). Solange die künftigen Anerkennungsregeln für die Kohlenstoffsequestrierung im Wald noch nicht feststehen, sollten keine Anreize zu einer weiteren Ausweitung des Kohlenstoffspeichers durch Forstmanagement gesetzt werden. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary: In this study, documents of the European Commission on future climate policies, and a McKinsey study and an UNFCCC paper are analysed with regards to measures for climate protection in the agricultural and forestry sector. The EU documents suggest an increasing need for political action for climate protection outside the emission trading system (EU-ETS). The other documents reflect mitigation potentials at global scale, and results are of limited relevance for the German situation. In chapter 3, preliminary results of a literature analysis on potentials and costs of measures in agriculture are presented. The analysis yielded no comprehensive results applicable to Germany, rather there exists a high sensitivity of methods, assumptions and system limitations for the valuation of greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation options in the agricultural sector. Thus, further analysis is needed for evaluating mitigation potentials and cost of abatement measures in agriculture. With regards to the forest sector, in chapter 4 carbon sequestration and GHG abatement cost of afforestation and forest management are described. The study closes with conclusions for policy. In the agricultural sector, existing environmental policy targets should be pursued, which also support climate protection (optimising biogas plants, protection of organic soils, reduction of nitrogen surplus and ammonia emissions). As long as future accounting rules for carbon sequestration in forests are not defined, no incentives should be established for further increasing carbon sinks through forest management.

- Abstract
Veränderung liegt in der Luft: Weltweit machen sich immer mehr Menschen für konsequenten Klimaschutz stark. Sie wollen nicht länger tatenlos zusehen, wie die klimapolitisch Verantwortlichen wider besseren Wissens die Zukunft verfeuern. So unterschiedlich die kreativen Aktions- und Protestformen auch sind, sie eint das Unbehagen gegenüber unserem fossil geprägten Wirtschaftsmodell, das mit seinem Wachstumsparadigma die planetaren Grenzen missachtet. Mehr denn je ist die Zivilgesellschaft als Mahnerin, Mittlerin und Motor für den Übergang in eine fossilfreie Zukunft gefragt.

- Abstract
Die Arbeit widmet sich einem grundlegenden, wenn auch wenig beachteten Teil der Klimarahmenkonvention und des Kyoto-Protokolls, nämlich der Verpflichtung der Vertragsstaaten, über den Ausstoß von Treibhausgasen zu berichten. Es erfolgt zunächst eine Systematisierung und rechtliche Einordnung der internationalen Vorgaben zur Berichterstattung. Auf dieser Grundlage untersucht die Arbeit die Rechtsfragen, die sich bei der Erfüllung dieser Pflichten im deutschen Recht stellen. Schwerpunkt der Untersuchung ist die Reichweite des Rechts auf informationelle Selbstbestimmung juristischer Personen, das auf der Basis der Rechtsprechung des Bundesverfassungsgerichts als abgestufter Grundrechtsschutz entwickelt wird. Schließlich bewertet die Arbeit die hierzu ergangenen statistikrechtlichen Regelungen.
