Environmental policy may produce effects which go beyond the scope of the specific policy's initial aim. Reforestation, for example, generates positive benefits not only in the shape of climate protection but also in the shape of the combat of biodiversity loss and it may also raise the attractiveness of a region for tourists. There are several examples of environmental policies, generating initially unintended co-effects. These co-effects are not always positive, of course. This book addresses the wide range of (co-)effects associated with environmental policies which may increase or decrease the attractiveness of these policies. Therefore, the book's scope goes beyond the standard economic analyses, which regularly postulate a specific cause-and-effect chain. The complexity and wide range of benefits is investigated from different perspectives and by means of different methodologies. Among the environmental policies discussed are climate mitigation policies as well as adaptation policies. The inclusion of all relevant effects of environmental policy (and therefore not only of the primarily intended effects) tends to have a strong impact on the efficient policy design. The areas which are covered by the book will be of great interest mainly for economists (environmental economics, ecological economics), ecologists and political scientists as well as practitioners, scientists and policy makers.
Klaus-Dieter and Martina John had a vision; to build a top quality health facility for the Indians of the Peruvian Andes. Neglected and marginalised, these people suffer appallingly from the diseases of poverty. Klaus and Martina were highly qualified in surgery and paediatrics, but they had never taken on such a project. Now they set about raising the millions of dollars needed. They watched in astonishment as God opened hearts and pricked consciences to create not just a health centre, but a fully-equipped hospital. If faith can move mountains, it can also shake wallets and transform hearts. This faith has overcome the mire of bureaucracy, deep rooted scepticism, and even blunt rejection. It has cleared blocked roads, blown away arguments, and united Catholics and Protestants in one love for God and their fellow people.

"You are out of your minds!" That was the reaction of many when they heard. Klaus and Martina John were planning to build a modern hospital for the Peruvian Indios - without any capital, income, or loans. But the resulting story of Diospi Suyana has become a thriller full of miracles and examples of divine providence. Since its inauguration in 2007, the adventure has continued as Diospi Suyana has regularly faced danger, corruption, and seemingly insurmountable obstacles. And yet it continues to grow. The Hospital of Hope has been the subject of 500+ media reports around the world. The unexpected twists and turns in its history has fascinated millions.
Das Prinzip der Nachhaltigkeit verlangt von der traditionellen
Umweltokonomie ein Umdenken, das sich als Okologisierung der
Okonomie charakterisieren lasst. Gleichzeitig stellt sich vor dem
Hintergrund der hohen Arbeitslosigkeit erneut die Frage nach der
Beziehung zwischen Umwelt, Beschaftigung und Wachstum.
Auf dem 5. Mainzer Umweltsymposium prasentierten Experten aus Wissenschaft und Praxis Ansatze fur eine umweltfreundlichere und effizientere Energiepolitik und demonstrierten anhand aktueller Beispiele aus den Vereinigten Staaten und Danemark, welche Loesungsmoeglichkeiten technisch und oekonomisch realisierbar sind.
Das 3. und 4. Mainzer Umweltsymposium beschaftigten sich mit der
Frage, wie sich der Verkehr umweltgerechter gestalten lasst.Dieses
Thema ist umweltpolitisch deswegen von besonderer Bedeutung, weil
sich in der jungeren Vergangenheit in fast allen Umweltbereichen
zum Teil signifikante Verbesserungen ergeben haben. Die aus dem
Verkehr - insbesondere aus dem motorisierten Individualverkehr -
resultierenden Belastungen der Umwelt haben dagegen zugenommen.
Erinnert sei nur an die raumliche Trennung von Wohnen und Arbeiten
und den daraus resultierenden Berufsverkehr sowie die durch "lean
production" und "just in time"-Konzepte hervorgerufene Zunahme des
Lieferverkehrs. Wahrend auf dem 3. Mainzer Umweltsymposium das
Problem okologischer Verkehrskonzepte recht breit diskutiert wurde,
konzentrierte sich das 4. Mainzer Umweltsymposium vor allem auf die
Frage, ob und wie sich durch den Ausbau des offentlichen Verkehrs
eine wirksame Entlastung der Umwelt erzielen lasst.
Das Mainzer Umweltsymposium will ein Forum fur die Diskussion aktueller umweltpolitischer Fragestellungen aus tikonomischer Perspektive sein. Es wird von Univ.-Prof. Dr. H. Bartmann und Univ.-Doz. Dr. K.D. John in Zusammen arbeit mit dem Umweltzentrum der Universitat Mainz veranstaltet. Die Ergeb nisse des 1. Mainzer Umweltsymposiums werden im vorliegenden Tagungsband zusammengefaBt. Er enthaIt - mit einer Ausnahme - die iiberarbeiteten Referate sowie die Zusammenfassungen der Diskussionsbeitrage. Die Zusammenfassungen der Diskussionsbeitrage wurden von Dipl.-Hdl. B. Hedderich, Dipl.-Vw. A. Ftiller und Dipl.-Vw. H. Borchers erstellt, bei denen wir uns dafiir ganz herzlich bedanken. Fiir organisatorische und finanzielle Unter stiitzung danken wir dem Umweltzentrum der Universitat Mainz und der Lan deszentrale fiir Umweltaufklarung Rheinland-Pfalz, insbesondere deren Leiterin Frau M. Ltihr.

Mainzer Umweltsymposium stand unter dem Generalthema praventive Umweltpolitik. Obwohl das Prinzip Pravention grundsatzlich und allgemein anerkannt wird, wird es bisher kaum realisiert. Erkennbar tibersteigt das Wachstum der Umweltprobleme das Wachstum des Sozialprodukts (Praventions defizit)."
