“…The "Marchetti curve" had hoped to explain past and project future energy carrier percentages according to a logistic substitution model. As we see, earlier prognoses for growing nuclear shares did not come true (Ahamer, 2012), and the "solfus" (= solar or fusion, then still undecided) turned out to be renewable energy, not fusion energy. Seen from now, this curve is a historic document from a techno-optimistic era.…”

Purpose -This paper is the continuation of an earlier paper in this journal on global megatrends provoking institutional changes. It contains sectoral analyses with relevance to environmental protection. Conclusions for suitable institutional reorganisation of (environmental or other) institutions are presented. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach -A planet-wide information system might optimally also include areas such as human development indicators, water supply and demand and deforestation issues. Findings -While administrations are increasingly oriented towards servicing a society, environmental institutions should specifically take care of global megatrends in the following areas: genetic engineering and biological safety, integrated plant technology in industry, climate protection, agriculture, noise, emissions and air pollution, sustainability, spatial planning and regional planning, radiation protection and nuclear power, Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Environmental Information Act, traffic, forest, water. Originality/value -The approach of this paper is the long-term matching of (national) administrative structures with (global) megatrends.

“…46-61. DOI: 10.17323/2500-2597 Applying Global Databases to Foresight for Energy and Land Use: The GCDB Method Introduction: mapping energy trends from the system dynamics perspective Any economy puts a strong emphasis on the production of energy, and Kazakhstan (picked out as only one representative of an ex-Soviet country) might be a striking illustration of this (albeit transitory) state of development that all-too-often still includes nuclear energy with its unresolved safety issues [WNA, 2018], including polluting radioactive fallout [Ahamer, 2012]. Presently, mostly fossil fuels are produced on Kazakh territory, but limitations of availability and global climate protection treaties might well change the traditionally high increase in fossil fuel demand and hence could profoundly affect Kazakhstan's economic structure, which underlines its political influence in the Central Asian region [Gürgen et al, 1999, IMF, 2009.…”
