Die Gastronomie wird durch die Folgen des Klimawandels vermehrt mit Lieferengpässen bis hin zu Produktausfällen von Lebensmitteln konfrontiert sein. Aufgrund von geringeren Erträgen und gleichzeitig erhöhten Ressourcenbedarf wird der Kostendruck steigen. Um diesen Herausforderungen schon frühzeitig zu begegnen, entwickelt der DEHOGA Bezirksverband Ostfriesland und Weser-Ems Klimaanpassungsstrategien für die Gastronomie. Im Projektvorhaben werden die Auswirkungen des Klimawandels analysiert, spezifische Lösungspfade für die Gastronomie entwickelt und innerhalb des DEHOGA Bezirksverbandes kommuniziert.
The restaurant trade is increasingly facing delivery bottlenecks as a result of climate change, which may even cause interruptions of the production of food products. Due to reduced yields and at the same time increased resource requirements, cost pressures are rising. In order to face these challenges in a timely manner, the DEHOGA East Friesland & Weser-Ems District Association is developing climate adaptation strategies for the restaurant trade. In the present project, the effects of climate change are analyzed, and specific solution paths for the restaurant trade are developed and communicated within the DEHOGA District Association.
One of the important parts of the final conference of ‘nordwest2050’ has been the scientific exchange sessions in the House of Science and the Industryclub Bremen. Contributions were based upon a call for papers from October 2013. The scientific committee received almost 100 abstracts where 36 were chosen for oral presentations and 15 for poster presentations (see overview tables below).
Four main topics were discussed in parallel workshops:
• Analysing Impacts and Assessing Vulnerabilities
• Designing and Testing Solutions for Regional Climate Adaptation and Resilience
• Implementing Climate Adaptation and Paths to a Resilient Future
• Resilience for Business: Climate Adaptation Challenge and Strategies of Sectors and Companies
The effects of climate change, such as ocean warming or the lowering of pH values, could lead to a reduction or migration of fishing stocks during the next 15 to 20 years, due to possible changes in the swarming and spawning behavior of the stocks. The bulk of the deep-freeze raw goods for the German fishing industry currently comes from countries which are not members of the EU. In the future, therefore, a more effective management of available resources and a stock-maintaining management of fish species for the supply of the market will be necessary.
Klimawandelauswirkungen, wie die Meereserwärmung oder die Absenkung des pH-Wertes, können in den nächsten 15-20 Jahren zu einer Verringerung oder Wanderung der Fischbestände führen, da sich zum Beispiel das Schwarm- und Laichverhalten der Fischbestände ändern kann. Der Großteil der Tiefkühl-Rohware für die deutsche Fischindustrie stammt derzeit aus Ländern, die nicht der EU angehören. Zukünftig wird daher ein effektiveres Management der verfügbaren Rohwaren notwendig sowie eine bestandserhaltendere Zucht von Fischarten zur Versorgung des Marktes.
Due to growing animal stocks and increasing numbers of biogas facilities (fermentation residues), as well as the limited possibilities for use as fertilizer, handling liquid manure involves ever greater distances. In the future therefore, important steps will involve both an increase in transport-worthiness and a reduction of transport routes and quantities of organic nutrient-containing materials produced; this is especially true for liquid manure and fermentation residues. New, climate-adapted business models need to be developed. During the course of the nordwest2050 project, The Naturdünger-Verwertungs GmbH (Natural Fertilizer Recycling Company/NDV), functioning as an expert and a multiplier, provided data on background knowledge especially for the presentation series Land-Use in the Context of Climate Change in the Northwest.
