– UNEP International Panel for Sustainable Resource Management
On the 9th of November the International Panel for Sustainable Resource Management (Resource Panel) was launched on the World Science Forum in Budapest. The Resource Panel was established by UNEP, with the support of a wide range of governments, the European Commission and representatives from civil society. The overall objective of the Resource Panel is to provide independent scientific assessment on environmental impacts due to the use of resources over the full life cycle, and advise governments and organisations on ways to reduce these identified impacts. Marina Fischer-Kowalski is one of the 19 scientific members of the Resource Panel.

– Global Sustainability: A Nobel Cause
“A Global Contract for the Great Transformation” is the title of the Potsdam Memorandum that resulted from the Interdisciplinary Nobel Laureates Symposium on grand challenges of global sustainability, held by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) in partnership with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) 8-10 October 2007 in Potsdam/Germany.
Find the memorandum in detail at: http://www.nobel-cause.de/
– Austrian Footprint Calculator
In November 2007, the „Austrian Footprint Calculator“ was introduced by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water Management in order to provide an opportunity for everyone to calculate his or her personal Ecological Footprint. The algorithms used in this calculator were developed by experts from the Institute of Social Ecology and experts from the „Plattform Footprint“.

– 10th Austrian Climate Research symposium
Austrian climate research, including climate impact, adaptation and mitigation research, will be discussed at the 10th Austrian Climate Research symposium that will take place on 13th and 14th March 2008 at the University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences, Vienna. The Institute of Social Ecology is part of the Austrian climate research initiative AustroClim that hosts the symposium and will also present own research there.

The Institute of Social Ecology is leading a consortium that is currently working on a first, rough-and-ready assessment of Austrian research and policy measures aimed at adaptation to climate change. Hundreds of policy measures as well as research reports are currently being incorporated in a database that will provide an overview of adaptation activities in Austria. The consortium also includes Austria’s Federal Environment Agency (Umweltbundesamt), the Department of Meteorology of the University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences, Vienna and the OÖ Akademie für Umwelt und Natur. The study started in December 2007 and is expected to deliver results as early as March 2008. The study is financed by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Environment, Forest and Water Management.

The Institute of Social Ecology is currently working on an assessment of the Ecological Footprint of the Austrian province of Styria (Steiermark). This is a feasibility study for the calculation of the EF for Austrian provinces in a way that is compatible with the Austrian Footprint accounts. The study is carried out in close collaboration with the Global Footprint Network (http://www.footprintnetwork.org/) and its Austrian branch (http://www.footprint.at/). The project is funded by the Styrian government and is expected to be finished in September 2008.

– FP7 SUME: Sustainable Urban Metabolism for Europe
The Institute for Social Ecology is a partner in the successful SUME consortium on the topic “Urban metabolism and resource optimization in the urban fabric”. This three year project will link metabolism concepts with urban planning policies, in order to design more sustainable cities. SUME will analyse the potential to transform existing urban built environment in order to significantly reduce the impact on resource and energy consumption. The coordinator of SUME is the Austrian Institute for Regional Studies and Spatial Planning.

– Raw Material Equivalents for the Austrian Imports and Exports
This project, funded by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water Management will calculate the upstream raw material requirements of Austrian trade flows by using input-output tables. Results will be available in autumn 2008.

– Time-use and material & energy use
Finally, we were able to raise some funds to promote our long-standing interest in the relationship between time use and the environment. The Austrian Ministry of the Environment finances a feasibility study (literature & data) on the chances of analyzing working time reductions in Austria as a potential mechanism of minimizing the rebound effect between efficiency gains and material & energy use. Martin Bruckner will write his diploma thesis on this subject.

On top of a strong wave of local support from the community of Samothraki (an island in the northern Agaeis), various NGOs and the MAB committee of Greece, we could convince the Austrian Man & Biosphere Committee rooted in the Austrian Academy of Sciences to finance a feasibility study for transforming the whole island into a “Man and Biospere Reserve” as defined by UNESCO. Under the guidance from Marina Fischer-Kowalski, Lazaros Xenidis, an environmental studies graduate from Utrecht, and Simron Singh will be the principal investigators to explore both the environmental and the socio-economic preconditions of such a transformation towards sustainability.

– Environmental accounting of imports: IMEA
A team from the Institute will take part in a year-long research project reviewing methodologies towards “environmental accounting of imports” to the EU. The IMEA project is part of the SKEP-ERA EU 6th framework program. We are responsible for a work package on environmental footprints, focusing on land and water use. We will also be active in several other work packages: on Environmentally Extended Multi-Region Input-Output modelling, Material Flow Analysis and Life-Cycle Analysis. Our collaborators in this project are the Ecole des Mines (ARMINES) in France, the coordinator, TNO in the Netherlands, VITO in Belgium and the University of OULO in Finland.

+ Reports on recent Conferences and Guests
– 8th Berlin Conference on the Human Dimensions on Global Environmental Change
This 2008 Berlin Conference was the eighth event in the series of annual European Conferences on the Human Dimensions of Global Environmental Change, and the first International Conference of the Social-Ecological Research Programme. It was held in Berlin on 22-23 February 2008. It particularly targeted at bringing together trandisciplinary research results on long-term policies from various fields. It provided ample opportunities to advance social-ecological research into international debates and to discuss future perspectives of this field.
The conference has been endorsed by the International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change Programme (IHDP), by the Earth System Governance Scientific Planning Committee and the German Association for Ecological Economic Research (VÖW).

– ENVIRDANUBE – ESF Exploratory Workshop
Financed by an ESF Exploratory Workshop grant, researchers from 10 countries met in Vienna in February to discuss possible long-term-socio-ecological research covering the entire Danube watershed. This workshop was conducted in co-operation between IFF Social Ecology and the University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences, Vienna. An informal network of information exchange was set up.
