Earth System Analysis
Since this new science is of an unprecedented interdisciplinary nature, the book does not merely take stock of its numerous ingredients, but also delivers their multifaceted integration. The resulting master paradigm - the co-evolution of nature and anthroposphere within a geo-cybernetic continuum of processes - is based on a structured manifold of partial paradigms with their specific ranges. Most importantly, this serves the scientific foundation of a meaningful, safe and efficient environment and development management for solving the most burning questions concerning humankind and its natural environment. The more concrete elucidation of the natural and human dimensions, as well as various attempts and instruments of integration are represented in the different parts of the book, while the didactic quality is heightened by many allegoric illustrations.
World in Transition: Ways Towards Global Environmental Solutions
At the first Conference of the Parties of the Climate Convention in Berlin in Spring 1995 it became evident once again: To counteract anthropogenic climate changes, individuals as well as societies have to change their way of thinking and behavior. This accounts for other areas of global environmental change as well. Global trends like soil degradation, loss of biological diversity, water scarcity and population growth show little or no sign of improvement. In fact, in most areas a rapid deterioration has taken place. In its latest Report the German Advisory Council on Global Change describes "Ways Towards Global Environmental Solutions".
The Research Challenge
Development and environment problems have reached such alarming proportions that the very survival of humanity is now subject to critical and unprecedented threats. In its latest report, the German Advisory Council on Global Change (WBGU) criticizes Germany's global change research community for its lack of international orientation, its bias towards individual disciplines and for its weaknesses in translating scientific results into a form readily accessible to policymakers. The Council identifies alternatives for restructuring the research landscape, focusing primarily on a new "Syndrome Approach" for global change research. By applying this tool, scientists can systematically describe and analyze the "diseases" afflicting the Earth System, and thus elaborate response options.
Herausforderung für die deutsche Wissenschaft
Der Wissenschaftliche Beirat der Bundesregierung Globale Umweltveränderungen (WBGU) bemängelt in seinem neuesten Jahresbericht, daß die deutsche Forschung zum Globalen Wandel zu wenig international ausgerichtet, zu stark an Einzeldisziplinen orientiert und in der politikrelevanten Aufbereitung zu schwach entwickelt ist. Als Alternative werden neue Möglichkeiten zu Strukturveränderungen in der Forschungslandschaft aufgezeigt. Dazu hat das Expertengremium einen neuen Ansatz zur Erforschung des Globalen Wandels vorgelegt: den Syndromansatz. Hiermit können die "Erkrankungen" des Planeten Erde systematisch beschrieben und analysiert werden, mit dem Ziel, Lösungsansätze zu entwickeln. Die 16 wichtigsten Syndrome oder Krankheitsbilder der Erde wurden identifiziert.
