"Klimatarier" climate balance calculator for eating styles

Published

The carbon footprint calculator developed by the ifeu Institute in Heidelberg can be used to calculate the greenhouse gas emissions of food. The website also provides tips and advice on how to become a "climatarian", i.e. how to adopt a climate-friendly diet. The CO2 foodprint is calculated. This is the proportion of one's CO2 emissions that result from eating.

SRU Open Letter on the Climate Cabinet

Closing the implementation and ambition gap

Prior to the decisive meeting on 20 September 2019, the SRU addressed an open letter to the members of the Climate Cabinet. The SRU emphasises that the measures to be adopted must be suitable for achieving the 2030 climate target. Especially in the Transport and building sector there is an enormous need for action. The Council also recommends raising Germany's climate targets. In future, German climate policy should be evaluated on the basis of a national climate budget.

Video (2018) "Factor X Settlement Inden Seeviertel"

2:33 Min. 17.12.2018, Ed.: KlimaExpo.NRW

The construction sector is one of the biggest consumers of resources in Germany. With the "Seeviertel" new housing development, the municipality of Inden in the Rhenish lignite mining region, together with RWE Power, the Aachen-based Kathy Beys Foundation and the development company indeland GmbH, has set itself the goal of halving resource consumption. As the first settlement of its kind in Germany, the Seeviertel demonstrates how energy efficiency and resource conservation can be integrated into neighbourhood development right from the ground-breaking ceremony.
