description Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Article 2009Authors: Kuhlicke, Christian; Kruse, Sylvia;This paper identifies a central challenge relating to the adaptation to climate change on the local level: how to deal with the unknown and how to create a resilient environment. Although a consensus exists that our climate will change to a hitherto unknown extent, the anticipation of local and regional consequences has reached its limits. The primary reason for this is the unknown interference of social development and natural processes. This paper suggests a practical typology of (non-)knowledge and distinguishes between two main strategies of how to deal with unknown developments: anticipation and resilience. In a case study on the extreme Elbe flood in 2002, local adaptation strategies and lessons learned are investigated against the background of the previously introduced concepts of the unknown and adaptation strategies. The empirical findings show a gap between the local activities during and after the flood event and the scientific concepts of resilient adaptation strategies. Local actions mainly rely on anticipation and strong expectations. Resilient features are hard to detect and mostly come into conflict with the realized local adaptation strategy.

The importance of export is high, especially for vegetables, flowers, meat and dairy products. This results from a development over 150 years in which agricultural conditions have changed from the so-called "von Thünen system" to highly efficient industrial production and distribution methods based on capital input, modern transport systems and lowering economic barriers (duties, import restrictions) in the EU. Today, factors like agglomeration advantages, specific skills and research institutions are particularly relevant, especially in horticulture. The regional structure of agricultural specialisation also depends on soil conditions, geomorphology and traditional farm sizes. Now and in the future, environmental problems like groundwater pollution and emissions of greenhouse gases are of high importance. Reflecting the political discussion and reacting to the declining number of farms and employees, organic farming and renewable energy generation seem to be suitable ways to manage structural change in the primary sector. Die Niederlande sind der am dichtesten besiedelte Flächenstaat Europas, entspechend findet sich dort eine hohe Konzentration hochintensiver gartenbaulicher und landwirtschaftlicher Produktion. Kehrseite dieser Medaille sind vergleichsweise hohe Umweltbelastungen. Ökologische Bewirtschaftungsformen ohne Kunstdünger und Pestizideinsatz führen dennoch bislang eher ein Nischendasein. Im Folgenden werden die treibenden Kräfte hinter den Entwicklungstrends in Vergangenheit und Gegenwart analysiert, die regionalen Schwerpunkte der Agrarproduktion dargelegt und auf Basis von quantitativen Kennwertvergleichen mit anderen EU-Staaten die Position der Niederlande aufgezeigt.

Botanische Gärten sind Naherholungsräume, Knotenpunkte zwischen Wissenschaft und Öffentlichkeit sowie einzigartige Horte globaler Biodiversität im urbanen Umfeld. Sie besitzen ein außergewöhnlich großes, bislang wenig genutztes Potenzial für die Nachhaltigkeitsbildung. Die vorliegende Studie nutzt den Botanischen Garten München-Nymphenburg als Untersuchungskontext, um sich im Lern- und Handlungsfeld "Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung" (BNE) mit qualitativen Methoden auf das in Deutschland etablierte BNE-Konzept "Gestaltungskompetenz" zu konzentrieren. Hierfür wurde ein Bildungsangebot in Ausstellungsform konzipiert. Es thematisiert exotische, wirtschaftlich bedeutsame Pflanzenarten, welche eine Rolle in Schlüsselthemen nachhaltiger Entwicklung spielen und trägt den Titel ‚Die Frucht der Arbeit – Pflanzennutzung im Spannungsfeld der Globalisierung‘. Zur Kommunikation der Ausstellungsinhalte wurden ProduzentInnen der jeweiligen Pflanzen auf den einzelnen Stationen als ErzählerInnen mit Bildern und Sprechblasentexten abgebildet. Diese ProtagonistInnen in nachhaltigkeits- sowie pflanzenbezogenen Konfliktsituationen sprachen über die dargestellten Inhalte hinweg die GartenbesucherInnen an (etwa als KonsumentInnen). Die Ausstellungswahrnehmung der BesucherInnen wurde in einem dreigliedrigen Evaluationsprozess untersucht und die Ergebnisse mit qualitativen Methoden ausgewertet. Die Studienergebnisse deuten nicht nur auf einen Kompetenzzugewinn durch die Auseinandersetzung der BesucherInnen mit der Ausstellung hin, sondern erweitern die allgemeine Praxistauglichkeit von Gestaltungskompetenz und BNE im Bereich des informellen Lernens. Das erarbeitete didaktische Konzept trägt zu einer Nachhaltigkeitsbildung bei, die über reine Wissensvermittlung hinausgeht, Kompetenzentwicklung sowie Reflexionsprozesse fördert und auch die Handlungspotentiale einer erwachsenen Zielgruppe erweitert. Botanic gardens are local recreational areas that provide the general public with many opportunities to learn about plants and science, but their great potential for sustainability education has rarely been tapped. This study uses the Munich Botanic Garden as a fitting backdrop to contribute to the learning area of ‘Education for Sustainable Development’ (ESD). The thesis focuses on an ESD concept called ‘Shaping Competence’ and implements it in an exhibition that encourages visitors to educate themselves by adopting perspectives they were previously not familiar with. The exhibition, titled “The Fruits of Labor – Crops in the Context of Globalization“, centers on economically significant exotic plants which play a role in the key issues sustainable development has been facing. To highlight these issues in the garden, information boards were put up next to the crops in question. The boards all featured an image of an exemplary producer of the respective crop. Speech bubbles were placed next to these images to make the exhibition’s content more accessible to visitors and address them directly (e.g. as consumers). The author used a three-part evaluation process to study how the visitors perceived the exhibition and then evaluated the results using qualitative methods. The study results suggest that the garden’s visitors have in fact gained in competency by critically engaging with the exhibition. The research contribution has helped expand the field of informal learning within ESD and has addressed the necessity to test didactic approaches to sustainability education which go beyond sheer knowledge transfer, promote both competency development and reflection processes, and expand the capacity of action for adult target audiences.
