Environment Policy and Governance

To date, the LIFE Environment and LIFE Environment Policy and Governance components have co-financed

193 projects in Germany. This represents a total investment of €487 million, of which €142 million has been

contributed by the European Union.

Completed projects focused mainly on the areas of clean technologies (37 projects) and wastewater

treatment (24 projects). Other popular themes included water supply and water quality, site rehabilitation,

reducing emissions and air pollution, eco-product design (ecological certification of products from sustainable

marine aquaculture), and the protection of nature and biodiversity in urban areas. Most projects were

implemented by SMEs (49 projects) and international enterprises (34 projects), followed by local and regional

authorities (19 and 16 projects respectively) and research institutions (14 projects). The projects had an

average duration of 24 to 60 months.

There are 12 ongoing projects in Germany. These cover a variety of themes, including forest management,

water management, sensitive (coastal and protected) areas management, the impact of economic activities

on the environment, waste water treatment, agricultural and municipal waste, energy supply, environmental

management, air pollution and chemicals. The average duration foreseen is between 24 and 60 months.

The project presented in the box below is an example of a successful LIFE Environment project in Germany.

Ecological Certification of Products from Sustainable Marine Aquaculture

(ECOSMA)

LIFE07/ENV/D/000229

The ECOSMA project developed criteria for organic aquaculture. It brought together numerous

stakeholders such as producers, retailers, scientists, supervisory authorities and consumers to initiate

a discussion on the criteria for organic aquaculture. During the project, a wide range of dissemination

activities, training programmes and public events were carried out successfully. For example, a list of

all eco-labels for fish and seafood found in Germany was compiled and during project events aneducational game on the topics of buyer behaviour and consumption patterns in relation to fish and seafood was presented.

On the same occasions, a lecture entitled "Fish on the table - but which?" was held, which showed the differences between

conventional and sustainable aquaculture and highlighted the variety of different eco-labels on the market. One event

organized was the Kiel “Tag am Kai” (Day on the quayside), a sustainable aquaculture event, which has since become an

annual street festival with training sessions and exhibitions.

Furthermore, a committee bringing together stakeholders in the aquaculture sector was created by the project. This

committee will continue its’ activities after the project end date, under the association, the “Bundesverband Aquakultur”

(Federal Association of Aquaculture), which was founded in October 2011 as a consequence of the project.

The project also developed the “Guidelines for sustainable marine aquaculture (Leitfaden für die nachhaltige marine

Aquakultur”), which provide detailed information, including a business model, for sustainable marine aquaculture businesses.

The ECOSMA project also demonstrated guidelines for calculating the CO2 emissions from each process and sub-process inthe cultivation of seaweed and in the production of a seaweed extract. This CO2 footprinting exercise was a first for the

aquaculture sector, anywhere in the world, and followed the new procedures of the GHG Product Protocol.

The new EU Regulation ((EC) No 834/2007) on organic production and the labeling of organic products was published on the

05.08.2009 and the beneficiary is the first company in Germany to be certified under this regulation.

Nature and Biodiversity

To date, the LIFE Nature and LIFE Nature and Biodiversity components have co-financed 123 projects in

Germany. This represents a total investment of €307 million, of which €170 million has been contributed by

the European Union.

More than half of the completed projects targeted habitats such as wetlands, bogs, river landscapes, forests

(mainly in mountainous areas or alluvial forests) and dry grasslands (both mountainous and coastal). The

targeted species were the freshwater mussel, the fire-bellied toad, the allis shad, the great bustard and bats.

The beneficiaries were mostly regional authorities, NGOs and local authorities. Their average duration ranged

from 36 to 88 months.

There are 44 ongoing projects under the LIFE+ Nature component. The majority of these projects focus on

improving and restoring habitats such as grasslands), rivers and watercourses, floodplains, bogs and mires.

The species targeted include the corncrake, the aquatic warbler, the marsh fritillary, the black-tailed godwit,

the common spadefoot, the greater horseshoe bat and the lesser spotted eagle. The average duration of theprojects ranges from 48 to 72 months. The beneficiaries are mostly regional authorities, NGOs and park

authorities.

The project presented in the box below is an example of a successful LIFE Nature project in Germany.

Conservation and regeneration of Nardus Grasslands in Central

Europe (Borstgrasrasen)

LIFE06/NAT/D/000008

This project successfully improved the conservation status of species-rich sub-mountainous Nardus

grasslands in target areas in three countries (Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg), and also improvedthe connectivity of these priority habitats in the countries’ border areas. Long-term management

schemes were designed to help safeguard the Nardus grassland sites.

Public relations actions carried out by the project were considered to be good practice and were effective in raising awareness

about the habitat’s management requirements. Innovation was introduced in the form of a geo-caching trail.

Tangible results included: habitat management plans for 34 project sites; 78 ha of land purchased or leased; 159 ha of

intrusive bushes and shrubs removed; 126 ha of land previously covered by thick grass layers was mulched to facilitate

rehabilitation of Nardus species; 30 km of fencing was installed to control and manage livestock grazing on the project sites

and grass seed was sown on over 70 ha; a multilingual project website (EN, DE, FR) was created; a portfolio of multilingual

publicity material was published; a large international workshop was organised; several nature trails were created; and a

number of guided excursions took place.

The ongoing sustainability of the project is dependent on securing funding to help ensure that the extensive land managementtechniques remain economically viable. Such funds may be available from agri-environment schemes.

Information and Communication 

Projects funded under the LIFE+ Information and Communication component disseminate information and

raise the profile of environmental issues. They also provide training and raise awareness on the prevention of

forest fires.

To date, one project closed under this component in Germany. The B+B campaign project’s objective was to a)

improve awareness and understanding among corporate decision-makers about the environmental impacts of

business operations and about business opportunities in relation to biodiversity conservation; and b) to

promote biodiversity partnerships between businesses, NGOs and other stakeholders. The project had a

duration of 40 months and a total budget of €2.2 million, of which the European Union contributed 49.91%.

The project’s results are described in details in the box below.

There are two ongoing projects under this component in Germany. The “Netze des Lebens” project aims to

raise awareness about the need to increase connectivity between forest ecosystems in order to create

corridors for migratory species, such as the wild cat. Its expected duration is 36 months and the project has atotal budget of €1.9 million, of which the European Union is contributing 50%.

The second project - "Pro-Klima Autoklimaanlage" – is campaigning to reduce environmental pollution caused

by vehicle air conditioning systems. It has a total budget of €0.8 million, of which the EU is contributing

49.94%. Its expected duration is 36 months.

European Business and Biodiversity Campaign B+B Campaign)

LIFE08/INF/D/000022

This project carried out a wide range of awareness raising activities, including around 200 events and

presentations.

Biodiversity checks were carried out in 30 companies, coming from various sectors and of differentsizes, such as the automotive manufacturer Daimler, the tour operator TUI, the Spanish energy

company, Iberdrola, the outdoors outfitter VAUDE, and companied operating in the mining sector in

Germany. The aim of these biodiversity checks was to evaluate biodiversity issues and to give recommendations on how to

compensate any ecological destruction. Biodiversity checks have become a success story for the project beneficiary, GNF,

which signed contracts with several companies for the checks, creating five permanent jobs in the process.

Another success story was the project’s landscape auctions. In total 12 landscape auctions were held in Germany, Spain and

The Netherlands. These function in the same way as normal auctions, but bids are made for elements of the landscape or local

biodiversity. The auctions were very successful events and a good door opener to discuss biodiversity issues with companies

and to increase understanding on the issue. Auctions were not limited to landscape conservation but also included such

activities as the protection of bats and the planting of trees.

Forums on biodiversity were also held in six European regions with the aim of engaging SMEs in biodiversity protection. The

purpose was again to increase understanding on the abstract issue of biodiversity and to underline the reality of biodiversity

loss.By the end of the project, activities such as the biodiversity checks and landscape auctions were adopted by many of the

companies involved and were expected to be continued after LIFE funding. The beneficiaries will maintain the established

contacts, particularly with the companies and NGOs that participated in the project, and will attend international conferences

and events. The beneficiaries, with the support of the German Association for Environmental Management Professionals, will

also continue capacity building for auditors and certified companies in Germany and the rest of the EU.
