Orešković and Porsdam Mann draw a distinction between ‘fast’ and ‘slow’ science. Whereas the latter involves rigorous and laborious adherence to the scientific method, the former represents the reality that much scientific work faces time pressures which at times force shortcuts. The distinction can be seen to operate in contemporary research into the coronavirus pandemic: whereas the development of vaccines and treatments usually requires years of meticulous laboratory work and several more years of clinical testing, the many millions suffering from the disease need a treatment now. However, by taking too many safeguards off the treatment discovery and testing pipelines, or by refusing to act in accordance with scientific advice, governments risk sacrificing the public’s trust not only in the government’s scientific bona fides but in the scientific process itself. This is a heavy price to pay, argue Orešković and Porsdam Mann, and point to evidence indicating that the success of Germany and Japan in combating COVID-19 can be traced to public trust in science and government, as well as scientifically-informed and respectful national leadership.
Over the past two decades social protection has gained importance at the international and the national level of many low and middle income countries. Despite reforms in this sector being a global phenomenon, they differ from country to country. Traditional efforts to explain these dif- ferences focus on domestic factors. Yet it remains unclear how international influences and interdependencies contrib- ute to policy change. The study ‘International Policy Learn- ing and Policy Change’ aims at providing an answer to this question, by focusing on ‘soft governance’ via horizontal processes, meaning processes between equal actors. The studie was carried out in two parts. While in Part I the cur- rent state of the art in relevant research fields was assessed, in Part II the findings from Part I were used to conduct a survey which analyses the role of policy networks.
Der globalisierte Kapitalismus, Umweltkatastrophen, Überbevölkerung sowie zunehmende politisch und religiös motivierte Konflikte fordern ein Umdenken ökonomischer Konzepte. Allein mit den herkömmlichen Sozial- und Wirtschaftssystemen lassen sich existenzbedrohende Probleme wie Armut, Hunger, Krankheit, mangelnde Bildung und Betreuung nicht lösen. Es gilt dringend, neue, zukunftsweisende unternehmerische Konzepte zu entwickeln und zu fördern. Seit geraumer Zeit hat sich unter dem Begriff „Social Entrepreneurship“ eine Bewegung etabliert, die versucht, unter Beachtung klassischer Ökonomiegrundsätze gesellschaftliche Herausforderungen nachhaltig zu lösen.
This paper aims to assess farmers’ challenges in enhancing biodiversity. The so-called “trilemma” (WBGU 2021) of land use stems from the multiple demands made on land for the benefit of mitigating climate change, securing food, and maintaining biodiversity. Agriculture is accused of maladministration, causing soil contamination, animal cruelty, bee mortality, and climate change. However, farmers play a key role in overcoming upcoming sustainability challenges. While their supportive role is urgently needed, farmers find themselves caught between a “rock” and a ”hard place”. Consumers call for sustainable production and affordable food products without pesticide residues, demanding enough for all. Farmers are restricted by the wants and needs of consumers who are influenced by interest groups and exposed to interdependent direct and indirect influencing factors. They need to balance the scrutiny of the critical public as well as the regulatory control. In this paper, we collected and surveyed the data of farmers within or close to the 21 selected nature protected areas of the DINA (Diversity of Insects in Nature protected Areas) Project, using a mixed methods approach with a semi-structured questionnaire considering issues’ interdependencies and the complexity of today´s problems. The conflicts and obstacles faced by farmers were assessed. The results reflect the farmers’ willingness and the importance of receiving appreciation for implementing biodiversity measures. These results, complemented by a following quantitative study, are the basis for recommendations for policymakers and farmers in all German nature protected areas.
The aim of this paper is to assess the objectives of farmers’ challenges in enhancing biodiversity. The so-called “trilemma” (WBGU 2021) of land use stems from the multiple demands made on land for the benefit of mitigating climate change, securing food and maintaining biodiversity. The agricultural sector is accused of maladministration: it is blamed for causing soil contamination, animal cruelty, bee mortality and climate change. That is why farmers are seen as key actors at all levels. They are, however, also key players when it comes to overcoming the problems of the future. Their supportive role is urgently needed, but farmers find themselves caught between a “rock” and a ”hard place”. Consumers are calling for sustainable, environmentally friendly production and inexpensive food products that do not contain pesticide residues, demanding enough food for all. Farmers are restricted by the wants and needs of consumers who are influenced by interest groups and are exposed to direct and indirect influencing factors and their interdependencies. They are also tasked with balancing the scrutiny of the critical public on the one hand, and the control exercised by eager authorities on the other.
As part of the DINA (Diversity of Insects in Nature protected Areas) project, a trans- and interdisciplinary research study, we collected and surveyed the data of farmers who are farming within or close to the 21 selected nature protected areas included in the DINA project. Data was collected as part of a mixed method approach using a semi-structured questionnaire. The methodological and strategic approach and interdependencies of issues demonstrate the complexity of today’s problems. To investigate this, we first used the data collection method using questionnaires with closed and open questions. The conflicts and obstacles farmers face were evaluated, and the results show farmers’ willingness and the importance of appreciation shown to farmers for implementation of biodiversity measures. The paper proposes some follow-up activities (quantitative study) to verify the objectives. The results will later lead to recommendations for policymakers and farmers in all German nature protected areas.
Smallholder farmers as a backbone for the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals
(2018)
Sustainable development needs sustainable production and sustainable consumption. During the last decades the encouragement of sustainable production has been the focus of research and policy makers under the implicit assumption that the observable increasing ‘green’ values of consumers would also entail a growing sustainable consumption. However, it has been found that the actual purchasing behaviour often deviates from ‘green’ attitudes. This phenomenon is called the attitude-behaviour gap. It is influenced by individual, social and situational factors. The main purchasing barriers for sustainable (organic) food are price, lack of immediate availability, sensory criteria, lack or overload of information as well as the low-involvement feature of food products in conjunction with well-established consumption routines, lack of transparency and trust towards labels and certifications.
Current global challenges such as climate change, lack of resources, desertification, land degradation as well as loss of biodiversity can ultimately be due to human actions. Reasons are excessive production and consumption of goods and services, along with using and consuming natural resources, causing emissions and waste products. Demand in the form of consumption and supply in the form of production are closely intertwined.
Social cash transfers (SCTs) are considered a priority in least-developed countries, where the gap between the need for basic social protection and existing provisions is greatest. This study represents one of the first comprehensive treatments of the impact of social cash transfers in low-income sub-Saharan Africa, and the first for Zambia's oldest SCT scheme. The results, based on propensity score matching and fully efficient odds-weighted regression, and data from the Kalomo SCT pilot scheme, confirm positive SCT effects on per capita consumption expenditure. We also discover threshold effects with SCT mostly impacting food expenditure among poorer beneficiary households and non-food expenditure among wealthier beneficiaries.
In den letzten Jahren ist das Thema Nachhaltigkeit zu einem Schlüsselthema in vielen wissenschaftlichen und gesellschaftlichen Diskursen geworden. Ausgehend von natur-, technik-, politik- und zunehmend wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Auseinandersetzung mit Fragestellungen im Kontext von Nachhaltigkeit, sind diese in den Mittelpunkt gesellschaftlicher und politischer Wahrnehmung gerückt.
Das Buch beschreibt den seit 2012 bereits eingeleiteten Agenda-2030-Konsultationsprozess, der insbesondere in Europa bis zum Jahr 2020 zu einer Umgestaltung von Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft führen wird. Erstmalig in der Geschichte kommt ab Mitte des Jahres 2016 ein globales Managementsystem zum Einsatz, das zur Fortschrittsüberwachung der 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) und den 169 globalen Unterzielen weltweit eingesetzt wird. Ein Screening der relevanten politischen Strategien und Beschlüsse verdeutlicht, dass Europa und Deutschland gut auf die Umsetzung der neuen Agenda vorbereitet sind und sich im Zuge der neuen Rechenschaftspflicht zur Umsetzung der SDGs verpflichtet haben. Traditionelle Footprint-Indikatoren, neue Ergänzungsindikatoren sowie standardisierte Richt- und Leitlinien kommen im vorstehenden Zusammenhang zukünftig zum Einsatz. Die zielorientierte globale Steuerung der SDGs fällt in das Aufgabenfeld der Koordinationsfunktion des Life-Cycle-Controllings, das beschrieben wird. Unternehmen tragen maßgeblich zur Umsetzung der SDGs bei und sind daher zunehmend verpflichtet, die negativen Auswirkungen ihres unternehmerischen Handelns transparent zu machen. Dies geschieht mithilfe von Product-Footprints und Footprints für Transportdienstleistungen, die bezüglich ihrer aktuellen und zukünftigen Praxisrelevanz ebenfalls vorgestellt werden. Zahlreiche Praxisbeispiele zeigen zudem, wie Unternehmen schon heute über den Einsatz von SDG- und CSR-Fortschrittsindikatoren ihrer globalen Sorgfaltspflicht in den Lieferantenketten nachkommen.
