1 ASSESSMENT OF SUSTAINABILITY CAN IT BE STANDARDISED? KNOFLACHER Helmut Markus GIGLER Ute TÖTZER Tanja NAEFE Babet Systems Research -ARC

2 THE CHALLENGES OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Ia) SELF REGULATION - long term conditions Solar radiation Geospheric partial system Hydrospheric p.s. Atmospheric p.s. Microspheric p.s. Botanical p. s. Zoological p.s. Long term principle: Interaction based on hierarchical use of energetic flows Self structurisation Self organisation Energetic hierarchy Hierarchy of self regulation

3 THE CHALLENGES OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Ib) SELF REGULATION - human dominated conditions Solar radiation Geospheric partial system Hydrospheric p.s. Atmospheric p.s. Microspheric p.s. Botanical p. s. Zoological p.s. Anthropogenic p.s. Human activities based on non hierarchic resource exploitation Energetic hierarchy Hierarchy of self regulation

4 THE CHALLENGES OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT I) From direct to indirect external regulation State Ia): Direct regulation by external capacities + + Resources - Population + State Ib): Indirect regulation by external capacities Resource Capacities Additional Resources - Resources - Population + + Reproduction Reproduction +

5 THE CHALLENGES OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT From direct to indirect external regulation - its consequences Time delays between impact and effects Spatial differences between impact and effects Loss of direct regulation effects Increased buffer capacities against short term variability of environmental conditions Increased risk of long term negative effects because of human caused impacts

6 THE CHALLENGES OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT From direct to indirect regulation - compensation of negative consequences Establishing of an internal adaptive regulation system.

7 THE CHALLENGES OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Basic needs for an internal regulation system REQUIREMENTS Observation of system conditions Extraction of relevant information Decision for actions Realisation of the decisions INSTRUMENTS MONITORING ASSESSMENT DECISION PROGRAMMES PROJECTS...

8 THE CHALLENGES OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Constraints for an internal regulation system Irreversibility of the processes in social and environmental systems Interactions between qualitative different elements (structural complexity) Different temporal characteristics of the elements (temporal complexity) Different spatial distribution of the elements (spatial complexity)

9 THE CHALLENGES OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Consequences for internal regulation system Ability for a sufficient processing of complexity Limited availability of information Limited predictability of future development of social and environmental systems Limited predictability of effects

10 REQUIREMENTS FOR THE INTERNAL REGULATION SYSTEM Transformation of system complexity to the operational capacity of decision makers (structural conditions) Preparation of information according to the temporal characteristics of the decision system (methods) Efficient realisation of adequate measures to avoid negative effects (institutional conditions) Development of a system adequate social memory (documentation)

11 THE SOCIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR DECISIONS TRANSPARENCY COMPARABILITY EQUITY ACCEPTABILITY

12 THE SOCIAL CONSTRAINTS Perception depends on individual experiences and motivation Acceptance of decisions is influenced by individual objectives and expectations Values are depending on culture, religion, education, and individual conditions

13 APPROACHES FOR STANDARDISATION OF ASSESSMENT FOR SUSTAINABILITY 1a) Assessment of EU regional funding programmes Different kinds of assessment in relation to the programme time schedule: Ex-ante assessment of programme plans Mid-term assessment at the mid term of programme Accompanying assessment during the programme Ex-post assessment at the end of the programme

14 APPROACHES FOR STANDARDISATION OF ASSESSMENT FOR SUSTAINABILITY 1b) Assessment of EU regional funding programmes Objectives of the assessment General objectives concerning coherence of the programme Specific objectives related to the involved funds Across fund objectives concerning gender, environment, employment, (sustainability)

15 APPROACHES FOR STANDARDISATION OF ASSESSMENT FOR SUSTAINABILITY 1c) Assessment of EU regional funding programmes Standardisation Standardisation of the assessment procedure Standardisation of the indicator sets (only positive effects!) Standardisation of reporting

16 APPROACHES FOR STANDARDISATION OF ASSESSMENT FOR SUSTAINABILITY 1d) Assessment of EU regional funding programmes Constraints Limited data about the actual situation in the region Different objectives of the individual funds Limited possibilities for identification of effects during mid-term and ex-post evaluation

17 APPROACHES FOR STANDARDISATION OF ASSESSMENT FOR SUSTAINABILITY 1e) Assessment of EU regional funding programmes Experiences Improved comparability of assessment procedures and reports Weak interdependencies between the measures of different funds Real overall effects of the programmes can not be assessed

18 APPROACHES FOR STANDARDISATION OF ASSESSMENT FOR SUSTAINABILITY 2a) Assessment of the effects of the development plan of the Vienna airport on regional sustainability Objectives Identification of solutions meeting the needs for a regional sustainable development

19 APPROACHES FOR STANDARDISATION OF ASSESSMENT FOR SUSTAINABILITY 2b) Assessment of the effects of the development plan of the Vienna airport on regional sustainability General characteristics The whole assessment procedure is embedded in a mediation process All rules and methods for the assessment procedure are developed in co-operation with all involved parties step by step The process is still in progress

20 APPROACHES FOR STANDARDISATION OF ASSESSMENT FOR SUSTAINABILITY 2c) Assessment of the effects of the development plan of the Vienna airport on regional sustainability Standardisation The assessment procedure follows the rules for strategic planning Standardisation of specific methods and indicators are defined in co-operation with the involved parties at the beginning of each process step

21 APPROACHES FOR STANDARDISATION OF ASSESSMENT FOR SUSTAINABILITY 2d) Assessment of the effects of the development plan of the Vienna airport on regional sustainability Experiences Integration of different opinions from experts and involved parties widens the view on a particular problem A scientific support is necessary for structured discussions of complex interdependencies A priori standardisation is necessary for the procedure, but more detailed standardisation is contradictory for participatory processes

22 CONCLUSIONS What could be standardised? General rules for the assessment Assessment procedure Methods Indicators Criteria

23 CONCLUSIONS What can be standardised? General rules for the assessment Assessment procedure under consideration of the specific tasks Methods, indicators and criteria should be kept flexible.

24 CONCLUSIONS Can standardisation of the assessment contribute to sustainable development? Without an improvement of the internal regulation system NOT REALLY With an improvement of institutional framework conditions, and of monitoring systems YES
