The formation of NER in simulation studies on degradation in the environment is an issue addressed in all European regulations on chemical substances. Some of these residues can be released back into the environment over the long term. This proportion must therefore be considered in the persistence assessment.

The report examines possible paths to a circular carbon economy and the challenges of transparently recording these carbon flows, which are required by international reporting obligations such as the Paris Agreement and the Federal Climate Protection Act. A two-step method is used: First, the relevant carbon flows are visualized to provide an overall understanding.

The drivers and effects of the triple plenatary crisis of climate change, biodiveristy loss and environmental pollution are highly interconneted and can only be effectively addressed through systemic, cross-sectoral, and justice-oriented approaches.

The drivers and impacts of the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss and environmental pollution are highly interlinked, yet current research and policy responses to meet the challenges remains fragmented, leaving important gaps in the understanding of systemic linkages and impacts on both ecosystems and people.

With space activities expanding rapidly, environmental challenges in orbit and on Earth are increasing as well.

The subject of this project was the preparation of substance reports for five substances relevant for building products emissions. For these substances, the toxicological data basis was compiled and evaluated, and EU-LCI values were proposed. The EU-LCI values allow the harmonisation of the health assessment of building products emissions throughout Europe.

Two types of large-scale models with different modelling philosophies are used to quantify socioeconomic effects in scenarios in which the EU moves forward in climate policy and applies different design options under the EU emissions trading system (ETS) combined with a Carbon Border Adjustment (CBAM).

This report is part of the overall project “Models for the analysis of international interrelations of the EU-ETS and of a CBAM”.

Anthropogenic activities to a great extent influence and alter the natural nitrogen cycle. The existing guidance document offers detailed description to inventory human influenced nitrogen fluxes on a national level. In eight chapters, the eight technical annexes are described to implement a national nitrogen budget.

In this data research project, quantitative data from available sources of information relating to two core topics will be researched and compiled in a uniform data format:

The report presents a study on the environmental behaviour of melamine (CAS: 108-78-1), investigated in adsorption and desorption experiments with five different soils.
