“…Biosphere reserves thus inscribe themselves in a regional context but are co-determined by global framework conditions, whereby the implementation of concrete measures should take place locally [11] (p. 74), [19] (p. 11). Hence, they are situated "at the interface between international policies and regional problems, im-plementation structures, and solutions" ("an der Schnittstelle zwischen internationalen Politiken und regionalen Problemen, Umsetzungsmechanismen und Lösungen") [70] (p. 21).…”

As “learning places for sustainable development”, UNESCO biosphere reserves are specifically dedicated to sustainability. The Lima Action Plan of 2016 resolved to position the biosphere reserves more prominently as model regions in order to fulfill UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, the question remains how and to what extent this resolution has been implemented and the ideal of sustainability filled with life at the local level. Based on surveys of municipal actors and fifteen in-depth interviews with political decision-makers, this article compares three adjacent Western European biosphere reserves, the Palatinate Forest, Northern Vosges, and Bliesgau, with regard to local initiatives aimed at fulfilling the overall task of sustainable development. The results show—besides generalized statements on the relevance of sustainability—that municipal politics is only, to a limited extent, guided by the requirements of concrete SDGs. Nevertheless, many of the measures implemented do ultimately reflect these goals. Along with specific ecological and climatic projects, these comprise future-oriented settlement policies and educational activities undertaken by the biosphere reserves and their municipalities. In this context, improved communication with local councils and residents might well lead to more effectively structured implementation of SDGs.

“…Biosphärenreservate als eine mögliche Form der Umsetzung nachhaltiger Entwicklung in der Praxis versuchen, diesen Interessenkonflikt beizulegen, indem mittels des Prinzips "Schützen durch Nützen" alle drei Dimensionen integrativ gedacht werden. Damit gemeint ist, dass Biosphärenreservate nicht nur die natürlich-biologische und kulturelle Diversität schützen wollen, sondern auch die wirtschaftliche und gesellschaftliche Entwicklung durch Einbezug regionaler Akteur*innen und der Wissenschaft voranbringen möchten(Schaaf & Clamote Rodrigues, 2016, in Borsdorf & Jungmeier, 2020. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden in Biosphärenreservaten daher auch Zonierungen des Gesamtgebietes vorgenommen.…”

Der vorliegende Bericht bildet den formalen Abschluss des durch die Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften (ÖAW) und der Akademie der Naturwissenschaften Schweiz (SCNAT) geförderten Forschungsprojekts Creative Approaches for socio-ecological transitions (CRAFT): A comparative study of rural-peripheral biosphere reserves as drivers of social innovations. Der Bericht behinhaltet Ergebnisse und Schlussfolgerungen der mehrjährigen Forschungsarbeiten der Forschenden der Universität Innsbruck, der Zürcher Hochschule für angewandte Wissenschaften und der Zusammenarbeit mit den Praxispartnern, den Biosphärengebietmanagements aus dem Biosphärenpark Großes Walsertal und der Biosfera Engiadina-Val Müstair. Zudem behinhaltet der Enbericht einen umfassenden Anhang mit den vollständigen Endberichten, die im Rahmen der Wahl-Vertiefungsrichtung Raumentwicklung und Regionalforschung des Masterstudiums Geographie. Globaler Wandel – Regionale Nachhaltigkeit enstanden sind. In der Vertiefungsrichtung haben Studierende Forschungsprojekte in den beiden Biosphärengebieten , in starker inhatlicher Anlehung an das CRAFT Projekt, durchgeführt.
