While diffusion patterns are quite well understood in the context of Global North, research has only been applied to a limited extent investigate how policies spread across developing countries. In this article, we therefore analyze plastic bag bans and taxes South North contribute further refinement theory by specifically addressing under-researched South. Moreover, with an in-depth investigation through lens research, article provides insights rather new still underexplored policy field...
This review analyzes the subject focus of 45 articles (published 2019–2021), dealing with government action to regulate plastic pollution. Policies described in and introduced between 2016 2021 are clustered four categories: production – consumption disposal circular approaches. Our results show that most published deal bans on single-use (SUP) items one or more countries. While SUP bags still regulated items, there is a growing number regulations other such as Styrofoam products microbeads....

Abstract The global reduction of CO2 emissions, including from the transportation sector, is critical for addressing climate change. New electric vehicles (NEVs) are pivotal in this effort, with battery (BEVs) being a primary focus, due to their potential significantly reducing emissions. This study investigates efficiency selected lubricants context an axle (E-axle) drivetrain, key component BEVs. Compared conventional vehicles, driveline may be viewed as even more essential BEV. Here all...
Few other environmental problems have received as much public attention and criticism in recent years plastic pollution. Accordingly, years, a number of policies been adopted at the national supranational level EU worldwide. In U.S., health risks were repeatedly raised decision-making process these scholars pointed out crucial role arguments for adoption policies. Hence, this article uses structuring qualitative content analysis to investigate parliamentary debates two recently EU-namely...
Engaging the general public in research processes through citizen science allows for innovative scientific studies and makes accessible to public. Effective communication strategies are crucial success of such initiatives. The program Plastic Pirates investigated plastic pollution rivers implemented a variety with participating schoolchildren, teachers, youth groups (e.g., sport associations, scouts or educational vacation programs, representing approximately 6% groups). These were...
Abstract With the ongoing negotiations for an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution, including in marine environment, and frustration at end of Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC-3), analyzing zero draft text, which formed basis this negotiation round, is crucial. This analysis examines to what extent conveys a clear problem definition as foundation internationally pollution. We find that lacks definition. Additionally, we investigate how balances focus...
Understanding litter dynamics on riversides is challenging due to the need for extensive data. A seven-year citizen science study with schoolchildren showed no major changes in density, composition, and sources German riversides. The categorized 26,757 macrolitter items (> 2.5 cm size), mainly consisting of plastic cigarette butts, a median density 0.28 m
Weltweit wächst der Eintrag von Kunststoffen in die Umwelt. Da bestehenden Regulierungen zur Eindämmung des Problems nicht ausreichen, muss ständig steigende Kunststoffproduktion und -nutzung insgesamt reduziert werden. Es bedarf eines systemischen Ansatzes, alle Akteure Verantwortung nimmt, Kunststoffprodukte -verpackungen produzieren, nutzen, recyceln entsorgen sowie damit handeln. Die Politik den nötigen Paradigmenwechsel vorantreiben eine gesamtgesellschaftliche Suffizienzdebatte ermöglichen.
Der Klimaschutz ist keine kommunale Pflichtaufgabe. Es obliegt den Städten, Lösungen zu finden, die das Klima schützen, sich bewährt haben und keinen Widerstand in der Bevölkerung auslösen. Vernetzung zwischen Städten ein Mittel, um auf erprobte zurückgreifen können.
Die Integration von Umweltbelangen in andere Politikfelder gewinnt zunehmend an Bedeutung. Doch wie wirkt sich diese Umweltpolitikintegration wirklich auf die politische Steuerung aus? Untersuchungen verschiedener meist europäischer Länder und Analysen lokaler, regionaler internationaler Ebene geben Hinweise erfolgreiche Governance-Formen.
