VERHI-Children: Valuation of Environment-Related Health Impacts: Accounting for Differences Across Age, Latency and Risk Categories with a Particular Focus on Children verhi

Valuation of infant and adult mortality by means of choice experiment and “chained” method; analysis of transferability of results of the benefit estimation. The project objective lies in contributing to the consideration of environment-related health impacts on children in developing environmental policies. In addition to the contribution in the form of elaborating on the methods of valuation of environment-related health impacts on children, this project should contribute to the creation of regulatory norms, policies, risk assessments and communication strategies. 

42P10 Comparative analysis of the long term development of land use and industrial metabolism in Austria and Czech Republic

Project (joint collaboration between CUEC and the Institute of Social Ecology at the University of Klagenfurt) focused on creating a database of industrial metabolism of the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Austria (domestic extraction of resources, import and export of biomass and fossil resources, and socio-economic parameters such as population and GDP).

MOSUS: Modelling Opportunities And Limits For Restructuring Europe Towards Sustainability

logo-mosus

Within the project, an extensive database of indicators was created in order to quantify the environmental performance of European economies. The indicators were inserted into an integrated environmental-economic model GINFORS for trend prediction with respect to the possibilities of a shift towards sustainable development.

MATISSE: Methods and Tools for Integrated Sustainability Assessment matisse_neu

Within the project a conceptual framework and methodology for integrated sustainability assessment (e.g. cost-benefit assessment and material flow analysis) is developed. The methodology is tested in case studies focused on water treatment, land use, raw material consumption, and dematerialisation.

IP EXIOPOL: A New Environmental Accounting Framework Using Externality Data and Input-Output Tools for Policy Analysis

The EXIOPOL IP has 3 principal objectives:

  1. To synthesize and develop comprehensive estimates of the external costs for Europe of a broad set of economic activities;
  2. To set up a detailed environmentally extended (EE) Input-Output (I-O) framework, with links to other socio-economic models, in which as many of these estimates as possible are included. Such an EE I-O table for the EU 25 does not exist. This will allow for the estimation of environmental impacts and external costs of different economic sector activities, final consumption activities and resource consumption for countries in the EU;
  3. To apply the results of the external cost estimates and EE I-O analysis for the analysis of policy questions of importance, as well as to evaluate the impact of past research on external costs on policy-making in the EU.

INDI-LINK: Indicator-based evaluation of interlinkages between different sustainable development objectives logo indi-link

The project had a number of issues and objectives that were methodically interrelated within the project plan. In the end, these interactions and linkages between the different parts of the project were not as significant as had been expected (one part of the project did not use directly the outputs / results of the other one).

The first objective of the project was to contribute to the development of selected indicators, which Eurostat uses to assess the sustainability of the EU. The second objective was to design and to test methods and tools for assessing the various aspects of sustainable development. Finally, the third objective was to draw relevant conclusions for future policy and strategy for sustainable development.

Full project name

CASES: Cost Assessment for Sustainable Energy Systems

The aim of the project was to assemble coherent and detailed estimates of external and internal costs of energy production from different energy sources at the national level for the 25 countries of the European Union andfor  some countries outside the European Union, in accordance with the energy scenarios up to 2030.

Furthermore, the project aimed at evaluating the possibility of policy measures to increase the efficiency of energy consumption with respect to data on the overall costs.

Finally, it was also aimed at conveying the research results to producers and consumers of energy and politicians through several actions. 

3-LENSUS: Lifelong Learning Network for Sustainable Development logo-3-LENSUS

The two main goals of the project are 1) networking universities with diverse actors in regional, multi-stakeholder learning networks and 2) capacity building for the support of existing and development of further regional, multi-stakeholder learning networks for  sustainable development.
