Note from the ESEE Board


This editorial is devoted to comment the funding opportunities on ecological economics under the 7th framework programme (FP7) recently launched by the European Commission. The FP7 will last from 2007 to 2013. It has at least three noteworthy differences in relation to the previous framework (FP6). First, in the new scheme a considerable part of the budget is allocated again to small and medium size grants, while in the previous framework a special emphasis was paid to “megaprojects”. Secondly, the new programme stresses international cooperation. The participation of countries beyond the European Union now is possible in all the calls under the specific programme on “cooperation”. Furthermore, many calls encourage specifically collaboration with non-EU and developing countries (“specific international co-operation actions”). Thirdly, the first pan-European agency for funding research, the newly created European Research Council, will fund more high-risk yet potentially high-gain European research at the scientific frontiers. The ERC is implementing the “ideas programme”. This programme constitutes a remarkable innovation, since it is the first time an EU Framework research programme has funded pure, investigative research at the frontiers of science and technology, independently of thematic priorities. It is unique in that proposed research projects are judged solely on the basis of their excellence, as judged by peer review. These changes were the response of the Commission to the demand of the scientific community. Stakeholder consultations on the future of European research showed very strong support for European funding for trans-national collaborative research, though a common concern was that there should be a lower number of partners in consortia and a greater focus on smaller projects than was the case under the FP6.

The bulk of EU research funding in FP7 will go to collaborative research, through a range of funding schemes: Collaborative projects, Networks of Excellence, Co-ordination/support actions, etc. Currently there are a large number of calls within the “cooperation” programme, whose deadline is the 2nd of May 2007. It will be very hard to summarize here the funding opportunities for ecological economics. However, we recommend interested ecological economists to read the call fiches of at least four themes: food, agriculture and fisheries, and biotechnology; environment (including climate change); socio-economic sciences & the humanities; and energy. All the necessary information may be consulted at: http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/dc/index.cfm

The objective of the ERC Starting Independent Researcher Grants of the IDEAS programme is to provide adequate support to the independent careers of excellent researchers, whatever their nationality, located in or moving to the EU and associated countries, who are at the stage of establishing and leading their first research team or programme. The Principal Investigator can be of any age and nationality and he/she can reside in any country in the world at the time of the application. He/she must have been awarded his/her first PhD (or equivalent doctoral degree) more than 2 and less than 8 years prior to the deadline of the call for proposals. The next deadline is the 25th April 2007. All the necessary information may be consulted at: http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/dc/index.cfm?fuseaction=UserSite.IdeasDetailsCallPage&call_id=3

The European Society for Ecological Economics is building up a database of research groups in Europe, Africa, Latin America and Asia in order to foster international cooperation and research in ecological economics within the FP7. A form for sharing information may be soon downloaded from our website. Through the database, you could contact possible partners interested in similar research topics.

Ecological Economics Meetings in Spain (February, 2007)

A group of Spanish colleagues realized that in their country a lot of people are interested in EE ideas and are themselves working in the area of EE. However they do not know each other and therefore felt quite “alone” within their respective research area. Thus, we thought it could be a good idea to organizes a meeting with the purpose to know “who is who in EE in Spain”. First of all, we created an e-mail list including people who are interested in this idea -nearly 70 people replied - and organized the I Meeting in EE in Ronda (Málaga) in June 2006. The event was coordinated by Esther Velázquez and Miguel A. Gual from Pablo de Olavide University (Seville). There we discussed about the different areas in EE and the necessity to disseminate the EE ideas graduates and post-graduates education; another topic was the idea of creating a national network in EE.

In these days, we are preparing the I Workshop in Education in EE in Spain, which will be held in Carmona (Seville) in March 2007, coordinated by the University of Seville and the Pablo de Olavide University. The objective is to create a small working group to present different ideas to integrate EE in conventional economics subjects and improve the presence of EE subjects in the national study programmes.

At the same time, we are preparing the II Meeting in EE, coordinated by Oscar Carpintero from the University of Valladolid which will take place in June 2007 in this city.

EU funded ALARM project reaches global dimensions in biodiversity risk assessment

The largest European research project in the area of terrestrial biodiversity continues to expand with 12 new partners joining the team to look into the causes of species decline

Researchers from Bolivia, Guatemala, Mexico, China, the Philippines, Russia, Belarus, the Ukraine, Serbia and South Africa now form part of the €24 million EU-funded ALARM project. Coordinated by the German Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ), the research operation will now involve over 200 scientists from 67 institutions in 35 countries around the globe.

The ALARM (Assessing LArge-scale environmental Risks for biodiversity with tested Methods) project is investigating four areas believed to contribute to the decline in biodiversity. These are global climate change; loss of pollinators such as bees, bumblebees and butterflies; harmful substances in the environment; the invasion of foreign animal and plant species; and the combined impacts of these factors.

By integrating cutting-edge science with socio-economic and politically relevant scenarios, the project is developing risk assessment tools so as to derive outcome-oriented policy measures to mitigate these threats to biodiversity.

Finland - Nuclear Heaven?
by Janne Hukkinen (
janne.hukkinen@hut.fi)

In global energy and climate policy, the case of Finland is a shining example of how socially constructed sustainability really is. One of the few industrialized countries building new nuclear power, Finland is portrayed in energy debates either as a laggard or a path-breaker of sustainable development. The construction of the 1000 MW reactor, the fifth in the country, has become a particularly hot topic in anticipation of the forthcoming parliamentary elections. Recently a prominent Green parliamentarian, Heidi Hautala, revealed that the chairman of the parliament and former prime minister Paavo Lipponen had in a recent speech promoted Finland’s nuclear ambitions by quoting verbatim material by a prominent nuclear industry lobbying group, Foratom.

Yet Finns don’t seem to mind such cosy relations between prominent politicians and the nuclear industry. According to polls, two thirds of Finns are in favor of expanding nuclear power. And the surprising thing is not just the relatively consensual atmosphere in which the fifth nuclear reactor is being built. Finland is also one of the few nations in the world to have overcome the political obstacles to long-term storage of high-level nuclear waste. Such storage is being built in Eurajoki, Finland.

Contrast this situation with Sweden, where nuclear reactors are ridden with scandals over poor management and energy policy promotes bio-energy; or Norway, where hydropower, fossil fuels, and CO2 sequestration are policy imperatives; or Denmark with its renewable energy industry; or Iceland with its hydrogen ambitions. Finland is the odd man out among the Nordics.

How did Finland fall in love with nuclear energy? To make a long story even longer, it all started with land reform following the civil war of 1917-18. During the next few decades the small landowners who combined agriculture with forestry grew so strong in their lobbying power that wood, the raw material of the country’s rapidly growing paper and pulp industry, became relatively expensive. Paper can be made either in the so-called mechanical process, which requires much energy and less wood, or the pulp process, which requires less energy and more wood. With this in mind, concerned industry bosses aligned themselves with politicians in the 1950s. A window of opportunity emerged. Finland traded bilaterally with the Soviet Union, which also had nuclear technology. Nuclear energy developed in cooperation with the Russians became the way to obtain relatively cheap and abundant energy for the paper makers. But opting for the energy-intensive mechanical process also meant losing the bio-energy opportunities contained in the pulp process. Burning the waste “black liquor” of the pulp process produces excess energy well over and above the requirements of the process itself. Today, Finland is a country with long traditions and know-how in nuclear energy.

The fifth nuclear reactor and increasingly popular speculations among politicians concerning the sixth one can be seen as evidence of path dependent “technological momentum” originating in the country’s earlier commitments in nuclear technology. There is little discussion in Finland today of the implications of this nuclear momentum for the future. Is nuclear energy closing out serious development of energy conservation, bio-energy, and wind power? What if the caves being dug in Finland’s stable bedrock for long-term storage of high-level nuclear waste remain the only ones in the world for the foreseeable future? They are being built with excess capacity. During the Cold War, when Finland first contemplated the long-term fate of its nuclear waste, the satirical columnist Henrik Tikkanen called for accepting the entire world’s high-level nuclear waste in Finland. The country would become the safest place in the world, he argued, because nobody would dare bomb it.

2007 ANZSEE Conference - Reinventing Sustainability

The Australia New Zealand Society for Ecological Economics would like to invite you to their 2007 conference– “Re-inventing Sustainability: A Climate for Change" in the Sunshine Coast of Australia. The conference takes place on the 3-6th of July with abstracts due on the 9th of March.

It is now 20 years since the publication of Our Common Future launched the idea of 'sustainable development' and called for integrated approaches to the relationships between societies, economies, and environments. While 'sustainability principles' are now embedded in law and policy frameworks at local, national and international scales, 'sustainability practice' remains elusive. Dramatic changes in trajectory are required over the next 20 years to reduce pressures ecosystems, avoid dangerous levels of climate change, and address poverty and disadvantage.

The conference will unpack the nature and scale of the sustainability challenges, showcase the types of analysis and understanding that are required to address them, and highlight practical ways in which sustainability might be reinvented so that it moves from rhetoric to reality.

For more details and to register go to the ANZSEE website: http://www.anzsee.org/conferences.asp


The 8th Annual Global Environmental Taxation Conference, Call for Papers
Innovation, Technology and Employment: Impacts of Environmental Fiscal Reforms and Other Market-Based Instruments

Green Budget Germany and the University of Regensburg, organisers of the Eighth Annual Global Conference on Environmental Taxation, hereby issue a call for papers for the conference Innovation, Technology and Employment: Impacts of Environmental Fiscal Reforms and Other Market-Based Instruments to take place from 18-20 October in Munich, Germany.

The objective of the conference is to examine the positive effects of Environmental Fiscal Reform (EFR) on innovation, technology and employment, as well as on the environment. Analysis of this issue has been divided into four sub-topics: Travel and Transport; Buildings and Households; Energy; and Employment. Priority will be given to submissions relevant to these areas. Papers should try to address one or more of these areas as appropriate, and within this framework, may focus on economic, legal, environmental/energy (technical) or political/sociological issues.

In addition, there will be a workshop series running parallel to the conference sessions, analysing these sub-topics from the point of view of NGOs. We anticipate these workshops focussing on political and implementation issues, such as: the problem of the lack of political will; ways of communicating the benefits of EFR; institutional constraints on implementing EFR; and international issues.

NGOs and others interested in participating in these workshops should contact Green Budget Germany at foes@foes.de.
