No.: 0 Summary PHUSICOS is an Innovation Action project funded by the EU Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (Grant agreement No. 776681). The main objective of PHUSICOS is to demonstrate that nature-inspired or nature-based solutions (NBS) for reducing natural hazard risk of extreme weather events in rural mountain landscapes are technically viable, cost-effective, and implementable at regional scale. Experience shows, however, that technical viability and cost-effectiveness alone do not ensure the successful realization of NBS. On the contrary, the NBS process will depend critically on the legal, institutional, social, political, and financial conditions—that is, the governance framework—enabling the NBS policy process (Bernardi et al., 2019). PHUSICOS Work Package 5 addresses governance innovation, where governance goes beyond government to involve a network of state and non-state actors (e.g., business, civil society, expert communities) in the process of deciding on and implementing NBS policy. This deliverable (D5.1) provides a comparative overview of governance frameworks that have enabled the initiation, planning, design and implementation of NBS across three successful NBS cases: i) mitigating flood risk through the restoration of the Isar River in Munich, Germany; ii) halting deforestation and encouraging afforestation as measures to reduce flood/landslide risk in the Wolong Nature Reserve, China; and iii) reducing landslide risk with natural measures in Nocera Inferiore, Italy. All case studies address two main questions: • How do public authorities and other stakeholders view the success of implemented NBS in terms of their main benefits and co-benefits? • What pre-existing conditions (external to the project) and new and potentially innovative factors helped enable the NBS? The methodologies for exploring these questions include i) a literature review (publications, reports, media, web sites, etc.) and ii) targeted open-ended interviews (telephone and face-to-face) with stakeholders. In each of the three cases, the interviews confirmed the success of the NBS measures and revealed interviewees' views on their benefits in terms not only of disaster risk reduction but of multiple ecological and social-economic co-benefits. Delving into the governance factors that enabled the implementation of the NBS, we distinguish between those factors in place before the NBS initiation (i.e., preconditions) and those that emerged post-initiation. In all cases, funds for disaster risk reduction (DRR) were in place (or promised) by the public authorities at the initiation of the NBS policy process (in the Nocera Inferiore case the budget was insufficient for a grey solution which paved the way for an affordable NBS), meaning our cases focus largely on administrative governance. Market actors were absent in all cases. Notwithstanding differences in the European and Chinese political systems, as well as differences in the NBS implemented, the governance enablers were in many ways similar. A major flood/landslide event or in the Isar River case smaller events coupled with a model that simulated a major future event, opened a window of opportunity for H2020 Project PHUSICOS Grant Agreement No. 776681 4 / 169 Deliverable No.: 5.1 Date: 2019-10-18 Rev. No.: 0 already existing environmental groups or supportive state authorities to advocate for a nature-based or hybrid green–blue–grey solution. In all cases political will developed (although to different degrees) in the public administration, reinforced by individuals that championed innovative nature-based policy options. Even in the absence of formal procedures such as an environmental impact assessment, inclusive participatory processes emerged that shaped the outcome toward an NBS or in China toward a more effective incentive system for assuring monitoring of an NBS. Finally, wide-scale stakeholder opposition to grey measures, or in China to a sanction-based enforcement regime, catalyzed the NBS policy process. The cases thus illustrate governance innovation in three critical areas: • Polycentric governance: In all cases novel arrangements emerged in the public administration that dispersed decision authority across multiple organizations that included not only flood and landslide protection, but also nature conservation, urban planning, water quality, waste management, tourism, and recreation, among others. • NBS co-design: All cases illustrate novel stakeholder participatory processes that influenced the eventual shape of the NBS. In Nocera Inferiore the process was particularly exemplary in that it coupled stakeholders and experts in the co- design of a compromise solution for risk mitigation that fostered the NBS adoption. • Financial incentives: In the Wolong case, local authorities in unprecedented consultation with villagers designed and implemented novel incentives for households to monitor illegal logging in a nature reserve. The cases also illustrate the prominence, almost inevitability, of hybrid solutions. Governance involves finding compromises that can resolve the interest and value conflicts underlying the green–grey divide. In the Isar-Plan case the compromise was a hybrid solution that piggy-backed the restoration of the river onto a "hidden" grey flood protection; in China, although there were few overt tradeoffs, the national government combined the large-scale forest conservation NBS in Wolong with grey flood protection measures in lower reaches of the Minjiang, the source branch of the Yangtze river; and in the Nocera Inferiore case the NBS was coupled with a plan for complementary grey infrastructure. Importantly, the implemented NBS in each case had co-benefits reaching beyond disaster risk reduction (DRR) that added significantly to their rationale, appeal, and eventual adoption. Indeed, a major insight from the case studies is the importance of merging agendas. NBS can contribute to transformative global agendas, including disaster risk reduction as agreed in the 2015 Sendai Framework, as well as climate adaptation (2016 Paris Agreement), biodiversity (European Biodiversity Strategy), and sustainable development (2015 UN Sustainable Development Goals). The transition from grey solutions to NBS is not only in many instances cost-effective and viable, but also necessary and urgent.

    Europe. It is all of us! The German Delegation in the European Committee of the Regions CdR_4373/08-2020/EN Created in 1994, after the entry into force of the Maastricht Treaty, the European Committee of the Regions is the EU’s assembly of 329 regional and local representatives from all 27 Member States, representing over 446 million Europeans. Its mission is to involve regional and local authorities and the communities they represent in the EU’s decision-making process and to inform them about EU policies. The European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council consult the Committee in policy areas affecting regions and cities. It can appeal to the Court of Justice of the European Union if its rights are infringed or it believes that EU law infringes the subsidiarity principle or fails to respect regional or local powers.

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Interrupted time series study found mixed efects of the impact of the Bavarian smoke‑free legislation on pregnancy outcomes Stephanie Polus1,2*, Jacob Burns1,2, Sabine Hofmann1,2, Tim Mathes3, Ulrich Mansmann1,2, Jasper V. Been4, Nicholas Lack5, Daniela Koller1,2, Werner Maier6 & Eva A. Rehfuess1,2 In 2007 the German government passed smoke‑free legislation, leaving the details of implementation to the individual federal states. In January 2008 Bavaria implemented one of the strictest laws in Germany. We investigated its impact on pregnancy outcomes and applied an interrupted time series (ITS) study design to assess any changes in preterm birth, small for gestational age (primary outcomes), and low birth weight, stillbirth and very preterm birth. We included 1,236,992 singleton births, comprising 83,691 preterm births and 112,143 small for gestational age newborns. For most outcomes we observed unclear efects. For very preterm births, we found an immediate drop of 10.4% (95%CI − 15.8, − 4.6%; p = 0.0006) and a gradual decrease of 0.5% (95%CI − 0.7, − 0.2%, p = 0.0010) after implementation of the legislation. The majority of subgroup and sensitivity analyses confrm these results. Although we found no statistically signifcant efect of the Bavarian smoke‑free legislation on most pregnancy outcomes, a substantial decrease in very preterm births was observed. We cannot rule out that despite our rigorous methods and robustness checks, design‑inherent limitations of the ITS study as well as country‑specifc factors, such as the ambivalent German policy context have infuenced our estimation of the efects of the legislation.

Friedlander, Chair After the Holocaust, 250,000 Jewish survivors settled into Displaced Persons (DPs) centers throughout occupied Germany. The housing in Jewish only DP camps in the American occupation zone provided a perceived safe and protected space, attracting the majority of the Jewish Displaced Persons. In these centers survivors rebuilt their lives that were destroyed during the Shoah. DPs also developed a sense of power and entitlement that they invoked in negotiations with international aid organizations, the Office of the Military Government, United States, and later, the West German Federal Republic. Jewish DPs made their first contacts with their American overseers as well as German neighbors in the centers, usually through trade and barter. Some of these interactions grew into lasting personal, criminal, and business relationships while others led to increased anti-Semitism. The Jewish DP centers were beneficial to their ii residents. However, their extraterritorial nature, the increased and better rations received by Jewish DPs, and their exclusion from the German judicial system before 1951 acted to segregate the inhabitants from the German population.

The focus is on three types of food products with Protected Geographical Indication (PGI), whose reference areas are located in the Free State of Bavaria: Beer (Bayerisches Bier PGI), asparagus (Franken-Spargel PGI, Schrobenhausener Spargel PGI), and carp (Aischgründer Karpfen PGI, Oberpfälzer Karpfen PGI). The study is based on secondary statistical analysis and a series of expert interviews. The results show positive effects on sales mainly for beer on international markets, and positive effects on price mainly for carp on the local and regional levels. All in all, we see that protection of origin stabilizes and supports the economic trajectory of its product. This study also shows that its economic effects vary widely: Firstly, price and sales effects are not automatic and differ in intensity; and secondly, the spatial dimensions of the economic effects exhibit different patterns. The primarily price-related effects at the local–regional level for carp (and to some extent for asparagus) are categorized as local effects (type A).

The study explores the economic structures and trends that underpin the cultural and creative industries in the Munich metropolitan region. Once again, the findings of the 2016 data report exceeded the expectations of the initiators and pundits alike: A comparative view of the EU's regions shows that above-average growth in these industries has now projected the Munich Metropolitan Region into first place (source: Datenreport zur Kultur- und Kreativwirtschaft in der Landeshauptstadt München 2016). The cultural and creative industries break down into eleven segments: the music industry, books, the film industry, broadcasting, the press, advertising, the software/games industry, the art market, the visual arts, design and architecture (source: Datenreport zur Kultur- und Kreativwirtschaft in der Landeshauptstadt München 2016).
