This chapter examines citizen participation in international organizations (IOs). The focus on citizen participation builds on the understanding of participation as a principle of governance in democratic theory.

Calming the Storm presents diverse perspectives on some of the most vital questions raised by climate engineering: Who has the right to make decisions about such global technological efforts?

Wie kaum eine andere Bereichsethik befasst sich die Umweltethik einerseits mit Grundfragen der Philosophie (Naturphilosophie, Anthropologie, politische Philosophie) und berührt andererseits verschiedene Politikfelder (Klimapolitik, Naturschutz, La

Die europäische Energiepolitik ist in ein komplexes Mehrebenensystem eingebettet. Auf der supranationalen Ebene formulierte Ziele und Policies müssen auf der lokalen Ebene implementiert werden, wo Energie bereitgestellt und verbraucht wird.

The year 2016 marks the 10 year anniversary of Nobel laureate Paul Crutzen's seminal 2006 contribution on geoengineering, “Albedo enhancement by stratospheric sulfur injection: A contribution to solve a policy dilemma?” Crutzen’s paper in climatic

As the world’s second largest energy consumer and emitter of greenhouse gases, oneof its most important producers of oil and gas and home to the second largest capacityof renewable energy, the United States is a central actor in global energy gove

Turkey’s energy policy focuses on the promotion of coal and nuclear power.

Due to its strong reliance on coal, South Africa is a middle-income country with veryhigh per capita emissions.

Historically, Saudi Arabia’s economic progress has relied heavily on high oil revenues.In times of low oil prices, its rentier state system suffers from decreased revenues,which are needed to sustain a generous welfare state and highly subsidised

Russia has the fourth highest electricity demand globally. In the mid- and long-term,fossil fuels (gas, oil and coal) and nuclear energy will remain the backbone of Russiandomestic and international energy policies.

Japan’s energy policy remains dominated by the Fukushima nuclear disaster of 2011.While the government continues to be committed to nuclear power, its future is uncertain.Japanese greenhouse gas emissions have increased significantly as nuclear en

Indonesia is the biggest energy consumer in Southeast Asia and the world’s leadingcoal exporter. Its primary energy mix is dominated by oil and traditional biomass.Almost a third of its population lacks access to modern energy services.

India is undergoing structural urban and economic transitions and has set ambitiouspolicy targets to meet its rising energy needs for development.

The German Energiewende – literally translated as “energy turnaround” – is an outstandingexample of a national effort to transform an energy system.

With the adoption of its first Energy Transition Law in August 2015, France has scaledup its commitment to address global environmental issues.

The European Union (EU) is represented in the G20 by the Union as well as by theindividual (EU-4) member states France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom.

China’s electricity supply is still strongly dependent on coal, but a strong domesticrenewable energy industry is driving rapid deployment of wind and solar energy.

The Brazilian energy sector has one of the highest renewables shares and remains oneof the least carbon-intensive in the world. Electricity supply has long been based onhydropower.

After years of stalemate, attracting investment in the energy sector to mitigate electricityshortages and meet rising demand are top priorities for Argentina.

Global energy supply is still far from sustainable. There is no comprehensive approachin global energy governance to steer a global energy transition.

Very high particulate matter (PM) and black carbon (BC) concentrations are observed in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal.

The rich content of this volume is based on the experiences of many authors writing about diverse locations, contexts, and issues.

Eine umfassende Praxisdarstellung, wie Bürgerbeteiligung erfolgreich eingesetzt werden kann und wie sie wirkt.Theoretische Grundlagen und praktische Umsetzungsanleitungen werden vermittelt und in 22 konkreten Praxisbeispielen vorgestellt.

This chapter provides an introduction to the application of life cycle assessment (LCA) for a reliable environmental assessment of CO2 capture and utilisation (CCU).

This publication presents the research result of 'the Anthropocene Project' at Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin. In the Anthropocene era - a geological age of our own making, what understood to be nature is made by man.
