Wet soils such as floodplains, moors or gley soils play a central role in climate and soil protection. At the same time, they present particular challenges for construction projects. Building on our last webinar on soil science-based construction supervision (BBB – Expectations and Reality), this event will focus on current developments and, in particular, explore in greater depth how to manage sensitive, wet sites.

The focus is on comparing implementation in Germany, Austria and Switzerland: whilst Switzerland, for example, has particularly strict regulations for moors, Germany and Austria take different approaches to the practical management of soils, such as in pipeline construction. These country-specific perspectives offer fascinating insights.

Three experts from the participating countries will present their experiences and approaches in short talks. The event is aimed in particular at representatives from local authorities, government bodies, and planning and engineering firms.

We warmly invite you to this interesting event!

Participation in the workshop is free of charge.

ORGANISER

Climate Alliance: For 30 years, the member municipalities of the Climate Alliance have been working alongside their indigenous partners in the rainforests to protect the global climate. With more than 1,800 members from 27 European countries, the Climate Alliance is the world’s largest network of cities dedicated to climate protection, and the only one that sets concrete targets: Every Climate Alliance municipality has committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by ten per cent every five years. As our lifestyle has a direct impact on the world’s most vulnerable peoples and places, the Climate Alliance combines local action with global responsibility. klimabuendnis.org       

Soil Alliance: The European Land and Soil Alliance (ELSA) brings together cities, municipalities and districts, as well as federal states, NGOs and other organisations from European countries. It is the largest European municipal network dedicated to soil protection.
The Soil Alliance provides a platform for all stakeholders interested in soil issues to discuss soil protection and work on joint partnership projects. ELSA sees itself as a network and lobbyist for soil protection. bodenbuendnis.org

Federal Soil Association: The Federal Soil Association is a non-profit organisation dedicated to issues relating to soil science and soil conservation. It is one of the environmental associations recognised by the federal government under the Environmental Appeals Act and provides a platform for the exchange of views among professionals in the fields of soil conservation, agriculture, landscaping, land reclamation, soil valuation, standardisation and contaminated sites. On the following pages, we provide you with a wealth of information about the BVB and the topic of soil. bvboden.de
