19.6% Timber construction quota in Bavaria: increase of 9% compared to the previous year

4,996 single- and multi-family houses in timber construction were approved in Bavaria in 2015. This early indicator from the State Statistical Office sets a new record in the readiness for timber construction. In terms of building permits, the timber construction rate is thus already at 19.6 percent. In the last 30 years, never before have so many residential buildings made of wood been planned in Bavaria and the above-mentioned value exceeds the construction completions of 2015 by nine percent or 429 residential buildings.

Energy in the EU: Almost 17 percent renewable

Renewable energies accounted for 16.7 per cent of total energy consumption in the EU in 2015. This is almost twice as much as a decade earlier. Compared to the previous year, the share rose by 0.6 percentage points, as the statistics authority Eurostat announced on Tuesday. In 2004, when data was first available, the figure was just 8.5 per cent. In 2015, Sweden was ahead with 53.9 per cent, while renewable energies had the smallest share in Luxembourg and Malta with 5 per cent each. The aim is to achieve a total of 20 per cent across the EU by 2020. (ap)

Bonn becomes a "globally sustainable municipality

The Federal City of Bonn has successfully applied to participate in the pilot project "Globally Sustainable Municipality in NRW". The project is organised by the state working group AGENDA 21 NRW e.V. in cooperation with the Service Agency Communities in One World / Engagement Global. Bonn is one of 16 municipalities in NRW taking part in the project. The aim of the project is to develop a municipal sustainability strategy in the context of the new UN Sustainable Development Goals of Agenda 2030 by autumn 2017.

In September 2015, the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda, the first globally applicable Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The new development agenda heralds a change of perspective in international cooperation. It affects countries of the Global South and the Global North in equal measure. For the countries of the Global North, the main question is what can be done here to promote sustainable development worldwide.
