Ricarda Faber is Researcher at Ecologic Institute. Her work focuses on the design, implementation and effects of energy and climate mitigation policy, and governance systems for the just transition to climate neutrality. She is a native German speaker and fluent in English.

At Ecologic Institute, her project portfolio includes regulatory approaches that promote the green transition including renewable energies, energy efficiency, sector coupling, digitalization, and governance frameworks. Ricarda Faber supports the coordination of the EU Horizon 2020 research project "Transformative Policies for a Climate-Neutral European Union (4I-TRACTION)". As part of the project, she also conducts research on multilevel climate and energy dialogues, conceptualizes the "CLIMATE ON AIR - Discussing the future of EU climate policy" podcast series and led an ex-post study on the German smart metering rollout. Moreover, in the research project StromNachbarn, which was part of the research network Ecornet Berlin, Ricarda Faber analyzed the socio-economic effects of prosumerism in Berlin by means of a tenant survey. In the project WenaMoNi, she uncovered barriers and opportunities for sustainable mobility in Lower Saxony (Germany).

Next to her research and writing, Ricarda Faber is co-host of the podcast and webinar series "Green Deal - Big Deal?", which examines the many facets of the European Green Deal. To foster stakeholder engagement and disseminate project output, she has led the organisation of conferences in Brussels, targeted workshops, a dinner dialogue, and webinars.

Before joining Ecologic Institute, Ricarda Faber worked as Project Assistant at adelphi Consult in the fields of sustainable consumption and international climate policy. There, she gained experience in sustainability indicators, best practice case study research, and stakeholder engagement.

Ricarda Faber holds a master's degree in Public Policy with a focus on energy, climate, and governance from the University of Potsdam. As a scholarship holder of the Swiss-European Mobility Program, she studied for one semester at the University of Lausanne (UNIL). Under the Climate Finance and Policy and Energy and Technology Policy groups at the Swiss Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (ETH) Zurich, Ricarda Faber wrote her master's thesis on the politics of green financial policy by analyzing the EU Taxonomy's design process. She completed her bachelor's degree in Political Science from the Free University of Berlin (FUB), which she centred on climate change. Ricarda Faber received a grant from the University Alliance for Sustainability (UAS) to study the topic of "Societal Transformation to Sustainability" in Beijing during a student exchange with Peking University.

In this context, achieving 215 GW of installed PV capacity by 2030 has become a specific target of the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG). This report deals with the central role that buildings play in meeting PV expansion targets, with the potential to cover up to 25% of EU electricity consumption through rooftop PV.

According to the European Commission, almost 26 million tonnes of plastic waste are generated annually in the EU. And since we learned how to produce plastic, humans have manufactured more than 8.3 billion tonnes of it – most of which ended up as a waste product somewhere on the planet. This process leads to plastic waste entering the landscape, rivers, beaches, and eventually ocean. So how can we possibly address a problem of this size?
