Working Paper Working Paper Tackling Light Pollution for Sustainability: an Approach for the Vesancy-Versoix Bio-Corridor of Grand Genève LUDWIG, Kerstin & Collaboration BALSIGER, Jörg (Collab.) Abstract Do we still need the pristine night sky? Indeed, there is a problem. Globally, more than 80% of all people live under light polluted skies. The trend increases exponentially due to urbanization, road traffic, energy-efficient lighting technologies, municipal policies, and unawareness or rejection of the negative impacts of light pollution on all life forms and/or of possible solutions. Light pollution is unnecessary and / or excessive artificial light at night appearing as sky glow, glare, trespass or clutter. It fragments landscapes, harms human well-being and biodiversity, wastes energy and threatens food security. It also decreases our levels of empathy. From Geneva, Switzerland, one must travel more than 1,300 km to get away from it. In the cross-border setting of a Franco-Swiss biological corridor of Greater Geneva, we aim to tackle light pollution for sustainability. The analysis of two representative communes in the corridor shows high levels of light pollution (and an increasing rebound effect due to adoption of low energy-consumption lighting) as a result of inadequate socio-environmental policies.

This process has quickened significantly over recent decades due to urban growth and increased wealth. The introduction of new low-energy, low-cost lighting technology in recent years has resulted in a rebound effect, causing lighting at night to accelerate even further. According to a 2016 study in Science Advances, about 83% of the world’s population and more than 99% of the U.S. and European populations already live under skies that are “light-polluted”. In France, artificial light at night increased by 94 % since 1990. In Switzerland, light emissions into the night sky more than doubled between 1994 and 2012. This report considers light pollution as the excessive and unnecessary presence of artificial light at night that affects the night environment. The extent of light pollution varies depending on the light’s intensity and duration, the distances that it covers and its impacts. Light pollution results, for instance, in the sky glow that can be seen hovering over cities over long distances. It can also locally cause a blinding glare, which is disturbing and even dangerous. Clustering of lights is another manifestation of light pollution, as is the trespassing light that enters homes and other private spaces from without. Light pollution is now known to have substantial effects on all living beings. It impacts upon human health, affecting circadian rhythms, sleep patterns and hormonal balances that can lead to serious physical and mental illness. By restricting the view of the night sky, it additionally affects human emotional states, spiritual richness, culture and science (e.g. astronomy). There is strong evidence to suggest, furthermore, that excessive light at night may diminish – rather than increase, as is commonly believed – people’s safety and security. Very importantly, light pollution also has a dramatic impact on ecosystems, affecting feeding patterns and growth, migration, rest, reproduction and the resilience of animals, plants and other life forms, including micro-organisms. Loss of biological diversity is considered the most serious environmental problem facing our planet today. Out of the nine so-called “Planetary Boundaries” defined by Steffen et al. (2015), it is one of four areas (the others being biogeochemical flows – notably of nitrogen and phosphorus, land use change and climate change) where humanity has already exceeded the safe boundary and entered a danger zone. Globally, the rate of extinction per million species per year is 100 times greater than is specified in the boundary. Both France and Switzerland are facing substantial losses of biodiversity. Public perceptions, however, are far from this reality: over 70% of Swiss surveyed in 2016 believed, for instance, that the state of biodiversity in the country is “very good” or “fairly good”, despite evidence to the contrary. Nevertheless, the Swiss see conserving biodiversity as an essential “duty to future generations”, as a “connection” to nature and its “beauty”, and as a "moral obligation". This shows that there can be a very large gap between the actual and the perceived state of a country’s biodiversity, and between peoples’ intentions and their actions. Besides the ethical considerations, given the interconnections and dynamics of living systems, humans depend on nature. Destroying nature means cutting humans off from the resources necessary for our survival. Kerstin Ludwig III Tackling Light Pollution for Sustainability – An Approach for the Vesancy-Versoix Corridor Unnecessary or excessive artificial light at night also of course results in a waste of energy and of money, contributing substantially to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and to poor use of resources. The above begins to illustrate the consequences of light pollution on what today we call “sustainable development”. Over the course of history, certain cultures have realised the obligation to protect and use the land and its resources in such a way that it will continue to serve their peoples into the future. In the face of the increasing dangers being faced by our planet, the international community has been discussing this matter from a global perspective since the early 1970s. In 1987, the Brundtland Report of the United Nations World Commission on Environment and Development formally defined sustainable development as “… development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs…”. It thus must aim to achieve not only intragenerational but also intergenerational justice. Nevertheless, there continue to be differing views on how to approach sustainability, i.e. how to balance tensions and reach an equilibrium within the so-called “sustainability triangle” encompassing economic development, improvement of social conditions and the protection of nature. The so-called “weak” sustainability approach considers “natural capital” (i.e. nature as a resource) to be substitutable with social and economic capital. It aims to enhance economic efficiency and minimise the use of resources while improving human wellbeing. It places no limits on the use of natural capital, however, as long as the total end value for humans is increased. Thus,

  • 2016 IDA Annual Report: Nightscape
    2016 Annual Report | ISSUE #98 NIGHTSCAPE CONTENTS From the President Our Impact Financials Members Awards PRESIDENT’S STATEMENT FROM THE PRESIDENT Diana Umpierre IDA saw several firsts in 2016, such as the first Dark Sky Places in Australia, Florida, and Georgia. One of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, the Grand Canyon was certified as a Dark Sky Park. We witnessed an inspiring outpouring of grassroots engagement from IDA Chapters in Chicago, Phoenix, and Mexico, among others. Light pollution and dark sky awareness reached new heights. In California, a group of citizens successfully sued their city for lack of environmental review before undergoing an LED retrofit. 2016 IDA award recipient, STAR Communities, now provides extra points to communities that earn IDA Dark Sky Community status as part of its comprehensive sustainability rating program. It was also a year of challenges as we struggled to remain abreast of the fast pace of irresponsible, blue-rich LED retrofits. The American Medical Association report, “Human and Environmental Effects of Light Emitting Diode Community Lighting,” affirmed a growing body of scientific evidence implicating LEDs in human health problems, and the “New World Atlas of Artificial Sky Brightness” are welcome resources in our outreach efforts. Looking ahead in 2017, IDA will expand its efforts at becoming a more diverse and inclusive organization. My election as President might be an indication that we are indeed becoming more diverse. (I’m the first female and first Hispanic privileged to serve in this IDA position.) We will continue to challenge ourselves to do far more. As an international organization, it is also our duty to extend our mission to protect the night in all corners of the world.

  • The Impact of Light Pollution on Tourism Development in Tourism Destination
    \ The Impact of Light Pollution on Tourism Development in Tourism Destination What do Involved Tourism Destinations do to Reduce Light Pollution? Author: Advisor: Yung-Hsin (Emily) Hsiao Frieder Voll Engadinstrasse 12 Project Manager 7000/Chur [email protected] 081 286 3949 Co-Advisor/External Principal: Raimund Rodewald Director/Stiftung Landschaftsschutz 031 377 0077 [August 11, 2017] II Abstract Light pollution has been one of the fast-emerging environmental crisis in the past few decades. Mainly caused by poorly designed and placed artificial lights in outdoor areas that are used extravagantly, light pollution has caused various negative impacts to today’s ecosystem and people’s experience. However, this issue is often neglected despite of the pollutants and wastes created, partially due to people’s dependence on artificial light sources at night time. Same negligence occurs in tourism industry, whether if it is the streetlights provided to navigate people during nights or excessive use of light for public displays. Artificial lights are heavily utilized as an add-on effect to a tourist package. Consequentially, many tourism developments have hindered the night sky quality without proper cares. In this Bachelor Thesis, an in depth look into light pollution’s effect to a region and its connection to tourism industry will be accomplished. Furthermore, recommendations are given to avoid further damage to the darkness in night sky and to improve touristic experience. The method approach of this research paper mainly use quantitative research method, with information dominantly collected from online information as well as expert interviews. The findings of this thesis paper include the critical problem Switzerland has on the topic of light pollution.
