In addition to the well-known ecological footprint, which describes the use of biocapacity by the population (in Germany about 2.5 times the available area), an attempt is currently being made with funds from the Ministry of Education and Research to develop an ecological handprint for positive sustainability effects.
This should enable consumers to orient themselves towards sustainable consumption. The Wuppertal CSCP, a spin-off of the Wuppertal Climate Institute, was commissioned. Three universities are involved: Kassel, Witten Herdecke and Lüneburg. On 5.11.2015 the kick-off workshop took place in Berlin. In June 2016 there was a stakeholder workshop and on 22/23.9.2016 the 3rd workshop will take place in Lüneburg.
In addition to construction, the project is about food and consumer goods. Various players from the economy were invited to the specialist conference.

More and more people are answering the question "How do we want to live?" with "Together instead of alone." Community living has become very popular in recent years, both among young and older people. The forms of new residential, house and housing communities are diverse: from self-sufficient eco-villages and multi-generational housing projects to so-called "beguine projects" for women.
The ARL - Academy for Spatial Research and Planning took up this topic in the 1/2016 issue of "ARL News" under the title "Housing projects - from niche to trend?". Micha Fedrowitz contributed an article on communal living in Germany.

On Saturday, 14 September, the RENN.west campaign "Goals need action" was launched in Dortmund. It informs about the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and mobilizes people for their implementation. Prominent supporters are the BVB, the multiple boxing world champion Wladimir Klitschko and the top model Elena Carrière.What has to happen when BVB, multiple boxing world champion Wladimir Klitschko and German top model Elena Carrière support a campaign together? Then it's crunch time! Translated: a time when really important things have to be done. Not tomorrow or next week, but now! Not by anyone, but by us - by you, by me, and worldwide!
"Goals need action" is the name of the campaign of the Regional Network Units for Sustainability Strategies (RENN.west), which calls for support for the implementation of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. By 2030, for example, poverty and hunger in the world must be significantly reduced. Equality must become an everyday reality and inequalities must be eliminated, the extinction of animals and plants and climate change must be stopped. The 17 SDGs call for big goals that can only be achieved through action!
The campaign launch took place on Saturday, 14 September at the cooperation partner BVB in Dortmund's SIGNAL IDUNA PARK at the Bundesliga match Borussia Dortmund vs. Bayer Leverkusen. Also present: Prof. Dr. Günther Bachmann, Secretary General of the German Council for Sustainable Development. In the following weeks, the campaign will be on display at various football stadiums in North Rhine-Westphalia, Hesse, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland, as well as at selected railway stations, on buses and trains. In addition, extensive, playful information material on the Sustainable Development Goals will be presented at various events. For this purpose, the regeneratively powered RENN.mobil from the StreetScooter company, exclusive electric mobility partner of the campaign, will be on the road until the end of December.
