For an assessment of the social compatibility of energy systems, it is jmportant to know the criteria by which different social groups evaluate energy systems and thereby identify energy supply seenarios which are more or less desirable with respect to these criteria. The study presented in this volume is an attempt to develop such a catalogue of criteria. Using a technique called "value tree analysis" , a logical system of catagorizing values, concerns and criteria for the evaluation of energy systems was created. This is first clone separately for each important social groups and then jointly in an aggregate system that combines the values and concerns voiced by these groups.

This volume summarizes the Social Compatibility Study, conducted by the Program Group Technology and Society of the Nuclear Research Centre in Jülich, and is identical with the final report submitted to the Federal Government in J anuary 1985. It consists of three main parts. In the first part, the characteristics of the present energy situation and aspects of the future are described. In the second part, the elements of the theoretical and methodological concept of the study are outlined. The third part describes the empirical results. Thebook ends with recommmendations for politicians and other groups engaged in the energy debate.

Ein Forschungsteam der Kernforschungsanlage Jülich untersuchte die vier Energiepfade der Enquete-Kommission "Zukünftige Energiepolitik" auf die Sozialverträglichkeit, d. h. "auf Ausmaß und Intensität empfundener Wertverletzungen" in der Bevölkerung. Befragt wurden Vertreter aus zehn Organisationen, um aus ihren "individuellen Wertbäumen" Kriterien und Indikatoren zu entwickeln, mit denen alle Anliegen der unterschiedlichen sozialen Gruppen systematisch erfaßt werden konnten. Durch Experten und zufällig ausgewählte Bürger (Modell Planungszelle) wurden die Energiepfade anhand der Kriterien bewertet. Als Ergebnis wurden sowohl "ein moderater Kernenergieausbau" als auch nach Ablauf der Lebensdauer der Kernkraftwerke diese Art von Energieerzeugung nicht weiter zu verfolgen als sozialverträglich eingestuft.

Subproject 9 of IKARUS investigates techniques and processes for verifying compliance by states party to the framework convention on climate change and its (future) protocols. They are obliged to limit their GHG emissions and take other climate protection measures and must make (regular) reports on the fulfilment of their obligations. In TP 9 verification is understood to be the independent monitoring of the completeness and correctness of these national reports (declarations) by a specially established organization, although only initial considerations are currently available concerning its form. With the inclusion of the international level, the consideration of all relevant anthropogenic emission sectors and the anticipation of future protocols (e. g. forest protection, agriculture), TP 9 goes beyond the national working field of IKARUS relative to GHG emissions from the energy sector, although it remains closely linked to the overall project since the greatest attention is paid in TP 9 to verifying the declarations via the energy-related GHG emissions. A verification of reports is also required within the framework of efforts by theIPCC and OECD to achieve a standardization of methods for the system of reporting on national GHG emissions (inventories) to be established worldwide. At least as yet the verification concepts of TP 9 and IPCC/DECD differ since they (implicitly) assume different state behaviour: IPCC/DECD concentrate on treaty violations by false or incomplete national declarations which express the states' capacity shortage. It is assumed that in spite of the states' willingness such deficiencies will hamper or delay proper balancing of their emissions. In this sense, verification intends to reveal weaknesses and assist willing but incompetent states to overcome these difficulties with help and advice. This approach is implementation-oriented and corrective. - Over and above this, TP 9 does not exclude the possibility that states or actors in the states deliberately (intentionally) falsify their ...
