FOREST EUROPE (The Ministerial Conference on the Protection of Forests in Europe) is the pan-European policy process for the sustainable management of the continent’s forests. FOREST EUROPE develops common strategies for its 46 member countries and the European Union on how to protect and sustainably manage forests. Founded in 1990, the continuous co-operation of FOREST EUROPE has led to achievements such as the guidelines and criteria for sustainable forest management. The collaboration of the ministers responsible for forests in Europe has been of great economic, environmental and social importance on the national and international level. High-priority topics of FOREST EUROPE are to strengthen the role of forests in mitigating climate change, secure the supply of good-quality fresh water, enhance and preserve forest biodiversity and provide forest products. Other important tasks are to develop a framework for future forest collaboration and to explore the possibilities for a legally binding agreement on forests in Europe. Several countries outside Europe and international, non-governmental and private sector organisations participate as observers. FOREST EUROPE is linked to global and other regional processes and initiatives dealing with issues of highest political and social relevance related to forests. ... [Information of the supplier]

European landscapes are being reshaped by the growth in renewable energies and the ongoing exploitation of fossil resources such as lignite (brown coal) and shale gas. These forces are at the heart of debates on the assessment, appropriate design and governance of the emerging energy landscapes. European and national policies for energy transitions challenge conventional ways of perceiving and thinking about landscapes as well as established planning routines. Key questions are: Perception – How is the character, perception, assessment and social construction of landscapes influenced by present and past uses of energy? Planning – Which types of landscape-related planning and governance regimes exist and how are they linked to landscape planning, spatial planning and energy policy? Participation – In the face of energy transitions, to what extent are landscape policies inclusive and participatory? Which actors are involved and who is constituted as an actor in this regard? Power – Which power relations shape the interplay of energies and landscapes? How can the workings of power be conceptualised and critically reflected? ... [Information of the supplier]
Ressourceneffizienz und Schutz der biologischen Vielfalt – dies sind zwei wichtige Ziele nachhaltiger Entwicklung. Auch für die "grüne", die ökologisch nachhaltige Stadtentwicklung sind sie von zentraler Bedeutung. Zugleich bringen diese Nachhaltigkeitsziele für kommunales Handeln teils widersprüchliche Implikationen mit sich. Die Stadt wird zum Ort, an dem unterschiedliche Anforderungen und Ziele aufeinandertreffen. Die Kommunen stehen vor der Aufgabe, sie miteinander zu vereinen und in ihre Planungen zu integrieren. Die besondere Herausforderung, die sich dabei stellt: Die nationalen Ziele und Programme für Ressourcenschutz und den Erhalt der Biodiversität sind per se keine stadtplanerischen Konzepte. Sie kennen keine administrative Stadtgrenze und machen auch nicht Halt, wo Siedlung aufhört und Umland beginnt. Das IÖR widmet sich bei seiner Jahrestagung 2016 diesem Spannungsfeld der Umsetzung nationaler Strategien in der Stadt. ... [Information des Anbieters]
