German Climate Governance Perspectives on North Rhine-Westphalia German Climate Governance German Climate Governance Preface Success stories from the provincial and city levels increasingly play a role in shaping the national mitigation strategies of China and Germany. In parallel, the achievement of national mitigation targets also depends on the effectiveness of local climate governance, including aspects such as the appropriate mix of policy instruments, the interplay of local institutions, financial and human resources, the monitoring of results, as well as on the support and cooperation with stakeholders from the business, science and civil society sectors. In 2013 North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), Germany’s most populous state, industrial stronghold and economic powerhouse with close ties to the Chinese economy, became the first German state to establish a climate protection law with legally binding mitigation targets (2020: -25% from 1990 levels, 2050: - 80%). In order to reach these goals, NRW is, through the means of an innovative stakeholder process, currently working on a climate protection plan at the state level. The plan will serve as a governance roadmap for the state in aspects of climate change mitigation. Among other first incentives, a training programme for City Climate Protection Managers has been launched. The NRW plan aims not just at meeting its mitigation targets, but at realizing an economic transition and becoming a leading low carbon economic hub. At the national level, the Federal German Government has announced the Climate Protection Action Programme 2020. Aimed at strengthening various policy measures to facilitate the achievement of the country’s mitigation target for 2020 (-40% from 1990 levels), it will also prepare the development of a long term governance strategy for mitigation measures, the National Climate Protection Plan 2050. This short publication is an attempt to engage in a dialogue on the topic of climate governance. By the means of short interviews with various stakeholders from different administrative levels and with different fields of expertise, we hope to highlight some potential elements which can make for effective climate governance. By no means exhaustive, these interviews grew out of a dialogue which was started in December 2013 when, at the invitation of the NRW Ministry for Climate Protection, Environment, Agriculture, Nature and Consumer Protection, a high level delegation of the Chinese National Development and Reform Commission, led by Deputy Director General Sun Zhen and organised by GIZ, travelled to North Rhine-Westphalia for a series of meetings on the topic of climate governance and attended the NRW Climate Congress in Wuppertal. With the ending of the classic bilateral development cooperation approach with China in 2009, a paradigm shift towards international cooperation was initiated. In regards to China today, GIZ plays an important role as facilitator for the Federal German Government in the implementation of its bilateral strategic dialogues. Among others, the dialogue on climate governance - covering aspects of climate German Climate Governance mitigation, law, governance, capacity building and public participation - is an important pillar of Sino- German cooperation. With offices in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, as well as in China, more than 30 years of experience in bilateral cooperation with China, and our broad network world-wide, we offer demand-driven, tailor-made and effective services for sustainable development. It is hoped that this short publication serves to continue, and deepen, this ongoing dialogue in an area of great importance to both countries.

Yet, a commitment alone is not enough to assure that such targets are reached. On the contrary, much seems to depend on local implementation. In many countries, including Germany and China, a complex set of challenging questions has to be addressed for designing the right mix of national mitigation strategies as well as policy instruments for their implementation. Which sectors should be at the core of mitigation efforts? What is the appropriate mix of policy instruments? What will the economic impact of any particular mitigation strategy be? Which mechanisms exist for generating financial resources? How can targets be monitored and enforced? Which options exist for raising public awareness and for building support from a broad range of stakeholders from the business, science and civil society sectors? Which institutions should coordinate such processes? In addition, what kind of knowledge and skills are needed for managing it? In short, which elements make for effective climate governance? When looking for answers to these questions, an interesting case to consider is the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW). In 2013, Germany’s most populous state, industrial stronghold and economic powerhouse with close ties to the Chinese economy, became the first German state to establish a Climate Protection Law with legally binding

Enhance the effectiveness of migrant integration policy through improved co-ordination across government levels and implementation at the relevant scale (Objective 1) 2.1.1. Division of competences across levels of government In the Federal Republic of Germany, tasks, responsibilities and jurisdictive schemes are divided in general between the federal, Länder (state) and municipal levels. Three schemes exist: areas which fall under full federal jurisdiction; full Länder jurisdiction; and areas of concurrent regulations. The federal level has full jurisdiction in all areas regarding citizenship, foreign relations, defence, social security measures, and federation-wide measures for economic prosperity, traffic and for the most part in taxes (for instance in the areas of administration, customs, energy, tobacco and traffic). The Länder level’s responsibility lies in the areas of education, with full jurisdiction, as well as in research, regional economy and culture. Länder supervise municipalities and delegate financial means. They oversee the police, public transportation and are in charge of regional economic prosperity measures. Länder also regulate own tax revenues in the areas of, for instance, sales tax. Nonetheless, municipalities are important actors in the integration of migrants in Germany, especially when it comes to the implementation of federal and Länder legislation. They are by law autonomous entities in the Federal Republic’s administrative scheme and have considerable leeway, when federal legislation leaves room to manoeuvre in its interpretation (OECD, 2017a: 27). The municipal level maintains the local infrastructure and implements regulations in schools, museums, sports facilities and theatres.

  • 05 Application EGC 2017 Air Quality ESSEN
    Section 05: Air quality 5 A. Current situation The City of Essen is located at the centre of the Ruhr Metropolis, whose history as a steel and coal-mining region is characterised by a high degree of industrialisation, high population density, and substantial traffic volumes. The advantages resulting from the high density of infrastructure must be paid for, however, with higher levels of environmental pollution. This applies in particular to the northern district areas, which belong to the densely populated and topographically disadvantaged Emscher lowlands, whose topography often gives rise to frequent low inversion layers. Heavy industry has been progressively leaving the municipal area since the 1960s. The last coking plant, today's "Zollverein" World Heritage Site, was shut down in 1993. The location's structural change from an industrial to a service-based economy has been ongoing for over five decades, and has lastingly changed the face of the city. While in the 1950s two thirds of the working population of Essen worked in manufacturing, today over 80% of all jobs are in the tertiary sector. As such, Essen is amongst the top cities in the German services industry. The structures of the city that grew up during industrialisation are still clearly visible today. The urban development orientated very strongly upon the needs of industry. No integrated or strategic residential plan was developed before 1945. Mines and steel mills were built outside the gates of the "old town", and developed increasing space requirements. Massive migration of labour workforce led to increasingly dense urbanisation around the industrial plants. The waterways running in an east-west direction, the Ruhr, Emscher, Lippe and Rhine-Herne Canal, together with the Hellweg, are the historic main arteries of the region.

  • Umgestaltung Der Ruhr in Witten Und Wetter
    Umgestaltung der Ruhr in Witten und Wetter Renaturierung wozu? Auf den ersten Blick wirkt die Ruhr mit ihrer Aue bei Witten und Wetter wie eine intakte Landschaft. Auch die Wasserqualität ist viel besser als früher. Doch die Ruhr weist deutliche Defizite in ihrem öko- logischen Zustand und Gesamtbild auf. Die typischen Fischarten kommen dort nicht mehr vor oder müssen durch Besatz in ihrem Bestand gestützt werden. Eisvogel und Uferschwalbe fin- den kaum noch lehmige Steilufer. Hauptursache ist die künstliche Befestigung der Ufer mit massivem Steinmaterial. Sie steht einer eigendynamischen Ent- wicklung und der Ausbildung eines strukturreichen Gewässers mit Buchten und Nebenarmen entgegen. Im Zuge der Umsetzung der europäischen Wasser- rahmenrichtlinie soll in der Ruhr nicht nur sauberes Wasser fließen, sondern sie soll sich zu einem natur- nahen, artenreichen Fluss entwickeln. Zu diesem Zweck hat die Bezirksregierung Arnsberg für das Land Nordrhein-Westfalen große Teile der Aue erworben, so dass alle Planungen auf öffentlichen Flächen stattfin- den. In Bommern wurden dazu auch erste Maßnah- men des Ennepe-Ruhr-Kreises weiterentwickelt. Blick auf die Ruhraue vom Ortsteil Wengern der Stadt Wetter aus gesehen. Unerwünschte Spuren beseitigen Künstliche Befestigungen an den Ufern der Ruhr be- hindern sie vielerorts in ihrer freien Entwicklung. Damit der Fluss zu seiner natürlichen Gestalt zurückfinden kann, muss allerdings der Mensch eingreifen und seine eigenen Spuren beseitigen. Auf den ersten Blick widersprüchlich: Damit die Natur mehr Platz hat, muss sie zuerst weichen. Für die Renaturierung sind einige Baumaßnamen und Umgestaltungen erforderlich. Der Natur wieder Raum geben Die viele Arbeit lohnt sich: Seltene Arten, wie der Eisvogel oder die Uferschwalbe, finden an der "neuen" Ruhr wieder Lebensraum und Brutmöglichkeiten.
