The presentation highlights in which regard economic growth has been decoupled from environmental impacts in Germany. It is based on extensive desk research and six expert interviews.
The answer to the question if Germany can serve as an example for successful and absolute decoupling is not unambiguous. Germany has succeeded in stopping the growth of material and energy use. However, absolute decoupling is happening only when natural resource use and other environmental impacts are decreasing in absolute terms. This has, so far, not happened to natural resource use in general but only to domestic emissions and raw-material use.
Total Material Requirement and Total Material Consumption (TMR and TMC), as well as carbon foot-print and ecological footprint, have not increased nor decreased during this century in Germany. Water footprint and land use for food production have increased, as well as domestic land use for infrastructure and settlements, and biodiversity decline.
Absolute decoupling, i.e. the constant decrease of environmental impacts while the economy is growing, could not be stated for any indicator that takes into account also the impacts of imports. However, the development within Germany’s borders cannot be considered sufficient while both economy and material flows are subject of constant globalisation.
As a conclusion, general absolute decoupling cannot yet been found in Germany. However, Germany has been politically active in decreasing natural resource use and other environmental impacts. This is visible, for instance, in strongly increasing activities of states and companies in the field of resource efficiency. However, so far we are not yet able to claim general evidence that economic growth generally could be decoupled from resource use and other environmental impacts when potential burden-shifting through imported goods is taken into account.
Los datos de los últimos años señalan a España como uno de los países que gozan de una mayor esperanza de vida.
Sin embargo, este hecho, sumado al bajo índice de natalidad que registra nuestro país, ha provocado un fenómeno evidente y, en cierta manera, preocupante para las próximas generaciones: el envejecimiento de la población.
La definición de urgencia según la OMS es aquella patología cuya evolución es lenta y no necesariamente mortal, pero que debe ser atendida en máximo 6 horas. Así pues, para poder definir una urgencia es preciso que el paciente padezca una enfermedad, que sin el tratamiento adecuado evolucione en un periodo de tiempo más o menos amplio hasta comprometer su vida.
