Rationale With the presentation of the first Hamburg Climate Plan, the Senate has further developed the Climate Action Master Plan (official report 20/8493 of 25 June 2013) and the Adaptation to Climate Change Action Plan (official report 20/8492 of 25 June 2013), in terms of both methods and content, bringing together climate change mitigation and adaptation to climate change. In addition, in the Hamburg Climate Plan the Senate reports to Parliament on the achievement of the targets set by the Climate Action Master Plan and the Adaptation To Climate Change Action Plan, the achievement of the objectives in individual areas of action and projects, and new developments. B. Summary Hamburg is conscious of its global responsibility and has been promoting climate mitigation for many years. At the same time, the measures required to adapt Hamburg to climate change are being put in place. Hamburg has already pointed the way with its Climate Action Plans. Many cities – at home and abroad – have copied Hamburg. But so far only a few countries and cities have looked at both components – climate mitigation and climate adaptation – in an integrated way. Both aspects have already been reflected in the Hamburg Climate Action Plans, and the integration of adaptation into climate mitigation is also an important component of the overall concept in the Climate Action Master Plan agreed in 2013. The Adaptation to Climate Change action plan has been drawn up in parallel to this. This first Hamburg Climate Plan provides Hamburg with a vision of a modern city of the future in which climate mitigation and climate adaptation are fundamental components of our shared society. Hamburg will become a "Climate Smart City". What is needed are clear forward-looking aims that contribute to a positive image of Hamburg as a smart, climate-friendly city adapted to climate change and that are rooted in the city's society. These aims and measures are described in this first Hamburg Climate Plan. This provides an integrated study of climate mitigation and adaptation which significantly expands the thematic scope of the climate strategy. Climate change already affects the quality of life in the city. In the future it will increasingly impact all areas of urban life. Extremes are to be expected in different directions: increased drought but also more heavy rainfall events. The Hamburg strategy therefore aims at making the city more resistant and robust in the face of climate events i.e. at increasing the city's resilience. The Climate Plan commits to setting the course for adaptation to climate change in good time and, in particular, takes on the challenge of implementing water management concepts aimed at minimising damage from flooding and heavy rainfall events to persons, property and the environment in the coming decades. 4 By 2050 Hamburg wants to gradually reduce CO2 emissions by at least 80 per cent in comparison to 1990. The target is to halve CO2 emissions in Hamburg by 2030. The city will therefore enhance the measures in its own jurisdiction and fully support the implementation of national policy action. In addition, around 2 million tonnes of CO2 emissions are to be cut by 2020 compared to 2012. Climate mitigation requires an energy transition and a resource transition. The consumption of energy and resources in the cities must be reduced dramatically. We must push the expansion of renewable energies and the improvement of energy efficiency in buildings and in industrial production forward, in line with technological progress. However, concentrating on this alone will not achieve the climate mitigation and CO2 reduction targets. A resource transition is needed in parallel to the energy transition. This means a more sparing use of energy just as much as a change in material flow management for a more efficient use of resources. Using resources carefully must become a key point in the Hamburg climate policy. Hamburg therefore plans to take appropriate measures in the areas of energy savings, mobility and consumption as well as buildings. As part of its long-term perspective 2050, Hamburg

  • The German North Sea Ports' Absorption Into Imperial Germany, 1866–1914
    From Unification to Integration: The German North Sea Ports' absorption into Imperial Germany, 1866–1914 Henning Kuhlmann Submitted for the award of Master of Philosophy in History Cardiff University 2016 Summary This thesis concentrates on the economic integration of three principal German North Sea ports – Emden, Bremen and Hamburg – into the Bismarckian nation- state. Prior to the outbreak of the First World War, Emden, Hamburg and Bremen handled a major share of the German Empire’s total overseas trade. However, at the time of the foundation of the Kaiserreich, the cities’ roles within the Empire and the new German nation-state were not yet fully defined. Initially, Hamburg and Bremen insisted upon their traditional role as independent city-states and remained outside the Empire’s customs union. Emden, meanwhile, had welcomed outright annexation by Prussia in 1866. After centuries of economic stagnation, the city had great difficulties competing with Hamburg and Bremen and was hoping for Prussian support. This thesis examines how it was possible to integrate these port cities on an economic and on an underlying level of civic mentalities and local identities. Existing studies have often overlooked the importance that Bismarck attributed to the cultural or indeed the ideological re-alignment of Hamburg and Bremen. Therefore, this study will look at the way the people of Hamburg and Bremen traditionally defined their (liberal) identity and the way this changed during the 1870s and 1880s. It will also investigate the role of the acquisition of colonies during the process of Hamburg and Bremen’s accession. In Hamburg in particular, the agreement to join the customs union had a significant impact on the merchants’ stance on colonialism.

  • Hamburg Slides Including Speech Barcelona EIPA 160429 EN Final
    Colleagues, ladies and gentlemen, Thank you for inviting me to today’s event. I am delighted to take this opportunity to present to you the cornerstones of Hamburg’s regional participatory governance approach concerning the local energy transition. I am particularly grateful to the organizers of this international conference and to our wonderful hosts – Spain, the Province of Barcelona in Cataluña and the beautiful city of Barcelona. I hope to have time to see more of the city. The economist Mancur Olson once said: “The rise or decline of a nation depends on the extent to which its society is capable of institutional change.” A significant condition of this capability for change is political participation by citizens as a foundation of democracy. But there is disagreement about the forms, methods and scope of participation. By public participation we mean the participation of the public in political decision-making and shaping the political context. We do not see the term as being clearly defined, but it usually denotes participation that goes beyond electing political representatives to parliament. The term is applied to decisions in local politics and planning. 1 To begin with, a few words on my Energy Department. It consists of 6 sections with a staff of about 45. We provide intensive support to business enterprises and households in Hamburg in their effort for energy conservation, increasing energy efficiency, and use of renewable energies; we are doing this mainly by providing promotion programmes, consultation services and networking. Before I go into public participation in Hamburg in more detail, though, I would like to tell you a little about our city.

  • Schriftliche Kleine Anfrage Und Antwort Des Senats
    BÜRGERSCHAFT DER FREIEN UND HANSESTADT HAMBURG Drucksache 21/4729 21. Wahlperiode 14.06.16 Schriftliche Kleine Anfrage des Abgeordneten Dennis Thering (CDU) vom 06.06.16 und Antwort des Senats Betr.: Beleuchtung und Lichtverhältnisse in und an Hamburger S- und U- Bahn-Stationen Nicht in und an allen S- und U-Bahn-Stationen in der Stadt erscheint die Qualität der Beleuchtung und Lichtverhältnisse ausreichend unter dem Aspekt der Kunden-, Nutzer- und Fahrgastfreundlichkeit. Vor diesem Hintergrund frage ich den Senat: Das Eisenbahnbundesamt (EBA) ist die Aufsichts- und Genehmigungsbehörde für die S-Bahnen in Hamburg. Die Technische Aufsichtsbehörde und Genehmigungsbehörde für die U-Bahnen in Hamburg ist in der Behörde für Wirtschaft, Verkehr und Innovation angesiedelt. Die technischen Regelwerke der S-Bahnen und U-Bahnen unterscheiden sich, da die S-Bahnen Eisenbahnen, die U-Bahnen rechtlich Straßenbahnen sind. Dies vorausgeschickt, beantwortet der Senat die Fragen auf Grundlage von Auskünf- ten der Hamburger Hochbahn AG (HOCHBAHN), der Deutschen Bahn AG (DB) und des EBA wie folgt: I. Allgemeines 1. Welche konkreten Anforderungen bestehen seitens des Eisenbahnbun- desamtes (EBA) hinsichtlich der Beleuchtung und der Lichtverhältnisse in und an S- und U-Bahn-Stationen? S-Bahn Das EBA teilt für die S-Bahnen mit, dass die S-Bahn Hamburg GmbH für den Betrieb der S-Bahnen gemäß § 4 Absatz 3 des Allgemeinen Eisenbahngesetzes (AEG) die Verantwortung für dessen sichere Durchführung trägt. Das EBA überprüft im Rahmen seiner stichprobenartigen Eisenbahnaufsicht die Wahrnehmung dieser Pflicht. Grund- lage für die Bewertung bilden das AEG und die zugehörigen Rechtsverordnungen, wie die Eisenbahn-Bau- und -Betriebsordnung (EBO) und, soweit diese keine expliziten Regelungen enthalten, die anerkannten Regeln der Technik.

Besonders deutlich waren die Auswirkungen am Unternehmen Hapag Lloyd zu beobachten. Nach dem Krisenjahr 2009 ist es der Hamburger Traditionsreederei 2010 gelungen, das beste Ergebnis ihrer Firmengeschichte zu erzielen. So wechselhaft war die Entwicklung zwar nicht bei allen Unternehmen, an denen die Stadt beteiligt ist, aber das Beispiel Hapag Lloyd verdeutlicht, wie schnell und ausgeprägt konjunkturelle Auf- und Abschwungphasen in einer globalisierten Wirtschaftswelt aufeinander folgen können. Unsicher ist derzeit, inwieweit sich die aktuellen Probleme der Eurozone auf die gesamtwirtschaftliche Lage auswirken. Der vorliegende Bericht bietet einen Überblick über die Beteiligungen der Freien und Hansestadt Hamburg (FHH) bzw. der Hamburger Gesellschaft für Vermögens- und Beteiligungsmanagement (HGV) zum 31. Dezember 2010. Die Stadt Hamburg war zu diesem Zeitpunkt an 89 Unternehmen unmittelbar und rd. 260 Unternehmen mittelbar beteiligt. Der Beteiligungsbericht beleuchtet die Entwicklung von 96 bedeutsamen Unternehmen und Beteiligungen mit mehr als 52.000 Beschäftigten in den Bereichen Ver- und Entsorgung, Luftverkehr, Hafen, Bus- und Bahnverkehr, Kreditwirtschaft, Wohnen, Projektentwicklung, Gesundheit, Kultur, Medien, Soziales und Wissenschaft. Dank gilt allen Beschäftigten der städtischen Beteiligungen und Behörden, die mit ihrer Arbeit zum Erfolg der Unternehmen und zur Erstellung dieses Berichtes beigetragen haben.

  • International Cities: Case Studies Hamburg
    International cities: case studies Hamburg Introduction ‘The Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg’ is a major port city in the north of Germany, connected to the North Sea by the river Elbe. It is Germany’s second largest city, with a population of 1.7 million that is growing. Population growth (in a country characterised by a shrinking population) has been central to economic growth: it has fuelled a virtuous cycle of demand and investment, especially in the property and healthcare industries. While German remains the ethnic majority in Hamburg, there are large minority groups from Turkey, Poland and Afghanistan (OECD, 2013) and 21% of the population is foreign born (Gehrke et al, 2013). There are eleven universities in the city, and the city abolished tuition fees in higher education in 2012, earlier than those were abolished in Germany as a whole in 2014. In 2011 the city was awarded the title ‘European Green Capital’ by the European Commission, in recognition of its achievements in the area of environmental protection. The city lies only six meters above sea level, and the threat of climate change has motivated an urban development policy which focuses on climate protection and preventive measures. The Hamburg metropolitan region (home to 5 million people) includes Hamburg and its surrounding areas in Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein. The city and the metropolitan region are developing links to two regions in Denmark and Sweden’s Skane Region to develop a north European green growth corridor. As other industrial cities in western Europe, Hamburg’s economy, traditionally based on ship building and trade through the Port started to decline in the early 1970s and the loss of jobs in traditional industries was not compensated by the growth in the service industries.

  • Msc. Thesis Environmental Policy Group
    Unknown Territory – Uncertainty in a transformative process of political practice The Remunicipalisation of the Energy Distribution Grids in Hamburg, Germany M.Sc. Thesis Environmental Policy Group, Wageningen University Martin Bosak M.Sc. Climate Studies Student number: 891124-105-040 Contact: [email protected] Course code: ENP-80436 Thesis supervisor: Ingrid Boas Second Reader: Kris van Koppen Submission: 12.06.2017 Wageningen University i MSc. Thesis Environmental Policy Group Abstract Uncertainty is an omnipresent phenomenon that challenges political decision-making in face of complex problems. With regard to the looming threat of climate change, uncertainty seems to paralyse political action, since decision-makers appear to be overwhelmed by the complexity of the problem and find themselves trapped in an ingenuity gap. In order to overcome this ingenuity gap and the general cognitive dissonance in face of climate change, this work emphasises the need to understand the role functioning of uncertainty within transformative political processes. By examining the transformative process of the remunicipalisation of energy distribution grids in Hamburg, Germany, this thesis goes beyond the conceptual level and seeks to determine the role and functioning of uncertainty in a real world process of political practice. In order to reveal the presumed causal inference of uncertainty, explaining-outcome process-tracing is applied as a methodological framework in combination with an interpretative approach to analyse the empirical data of 13 qualitative interviews. In the empirical analysis it was possible to establish uncertainty as the causal mechanism in the remunicipalisation process in Hamburg, determining a minimally sufficient explanation for how uncertainty affected the outcome of this process.
