The HYPV research project has developed a guide that discusses low-CO2 electricity and heating networks. It is intended to make planning easier for energy suppliers. http://projektinfos.energiewendebauen.de/forschung-im-dialog/neuigkeiten-aus-der-forschung/detailansicht/leitfaden-fuer-planung-von-energienetzen-erschienen/
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.
Like the heat register, the solar register is part of the Energy Atlas.NRW, which provides comprehensive information on renewable energies in North Rhine-Westphalia. In addition to the current stock, potential for the further expansion of renewable energies is also presented.
3:16 min may 2019 Aerial footage from a drone shows the status of implementation in May 2019. The Platensiedlung in Ginnheim (Frankfurt am Main) will be raised with 2 floors without additional land sealing and the existing buildings will be renovated for energy efficiency.
Is economic growth compatible with sustainability? A new report by the European Environmental Bureau (EEB), DNR and the Institute for Sustainable Economies (ZOE) clearly shows: No! Resource consumption, which is responsible for increasing environmental degradation, cannot be decoupled from economic growth. With a comprehensive analysis of scientific data, the report "Decoupling debunked - Evidence [...]
Germany's decision in favour of emissions trading for transport and buildings would be a special path - all other EU states with CO2 pricing in addition to European certificate trading rely on tax solution Berlin (12 July 2019). More and more states in Europe and around the world are introducing CO2 prices. Germany, however, would be taking a special path if it were to introduce an additional [...]

High costs due to failure to protect the environment - Federal Environment Agency presents updated cost rates Too many greenhouse gases, air pollutants and other environmental burdens damage our health, destroy ecosystems and cause animals and plants to die out. In addition, they lead to economic losses due to, for example, production downtimes, crop losses or damage to buildings and infrastructure.
A recent study by the Energy Watch Group and the Finnish University LUT shows how the energy transition can be realized with 100% renewable energies in Europe. According to the study, greenhouse gas emissions would be reduced to zero before 2050 and there would be significant financial advantages compared to the conventional fossil-nuclear system.

In its current special report, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has pointed out the need for massive savings in greenhouse gases. With its project of "100 climate protection settlements in NRW", North Rhine-Westphalia is pursuing the goal of significantly reducing these emissions through the combination of energy-efficient buildings with low greenhouse gas house technologies. 35 of these energy-efficient climate protection settlements have already been [...]
Colourful, lively, largely car-free - the people of Tübingen jokingly refer to the French Quarter as the "green hell". However, the residents appreciate the "ideal world feeling".
The car-free settlement and the mobility concept is presented from about minute 2 to 7 in the kika media library: www.kika.de/erde-an-zukunft/sendungen/sendung106156.html
Berlin: On 4 May 2018, BUND presented a shutdown plan for nuclear power plants (NPPs) and coal-fired power plants. This analysis shows that the decommissioning of the most climate-damaging coal-fired power plants by 2020 and a significant acceleration of the nuclear phase-out in Germany are possible without jeopardising security of supply. "The shutdown plan is a call to the political [...]
"Nearly two million affordable homes are lacking. The situation is likely to get worse. Social housing must be promoted more strongly."
The "Alternative Economic Policy Working Group" has published its MEMORANDUM 2018 report. Price of the "black zero": distribution deficits and gaps in supply Germany, with its senseless ideology of austerity and cuts, has not yet arrived economically in the 21st century.
