In addition to CO₂, aviation affects the climate through other emissions and atmospheric processes, such as the formation of ozone and contrail cirrus. Although these non-CO₂ effects account for about 2/3 of aviation's total climate impact, they have not been regulated in the past.

Der Luftverkehr verursacht neben CO₂ weitere Emissionen und atmosphärische Prozesse, die klimaerwärmend wirken. Vor allem sind dies die Bildung von Kondensstreifen oder Stickoxid-Emissionen und ihre Wirkung auf Ozon.

Further action is required beyond active substance approval and product authorization of biocidal products to protect the environment. This action could be European legislation on the use-phase of certain biocides to shape their “proper use”. Whilst such piece of legislation is missing on EU level, countries have been implementing national measures.

The project studied the hearing ability of Humboldt penguins. The hearing ability of the penguins was determined psychoacoustically and by auditory evoked potentials (AEP). The results show that penguins hear best between 1 and 4 kHz in air. In addition, an animal audiogram database was created to facilitate comparison between the published audiograms of different aquatic animals.

Das Projekt untersuchte das Hörvermögen von Humboldt-Pinguine. Das Hörvermögen der Pinguine wurde psychoakustisch und durch Methode der Auditorisch Evozierten Potentialen (AEP) ermittelt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Pinguine in der Luft zwischen 1 und 4 kHz am besten hören.

This publication explores the scientific dimensions of blue carbon (BC) for global climate mitigation. BC is defined and criteria for identifying BC measures are outlined based on a comprehensive analysis of current scientific literature.

Die Konsultativstaaten zum Antarktisvertrag sind bemüht, ein kohärentes Netzwerk an Schutzgebieten in der Antarktis zu schaffen. Um hierzu erstmalig einen Beitrag von Seiten Deutschlands vorzubereiten, wurden mit Hilfe dieses Projektes potenzielle Schutzgebiete in der Antarktis zunächst identifiziert, bewertet und schließlich zwei konkrete Schutzgebietsvorschläge ausgearbeitet.

Das Umweltbundesamt betreibt eine online-gestützte GIS-Visualisierung zur Information über Projekte des deutschen und europäischen Technologietransfers im Bereich der Abfallbewirtschaftung. Es fördert damit die internationale Vernetzung von Akteurinnen und Akteuren sowie den Wissenstransfer. In dem zwischen 2021 und 2023 durchgeführten Forschungsvorhaben wurden ca.
