At a lunch talk on Thursday, 24 March 2022, 2:00-3:00 p.m. (CET), one of the authors of the symposium, Sam Bookman from Harvard Law School, will speak about his latest research topic "What happens when you win? The constitutional dimensions of rights-based climate litigation". With him, we will draw the line to and discuss the first insights of the symposium.

This infographic visualizes the range of hydropower plants included in the Atlas Fish Protection & Downstream Fish. The infographic is part of a fact sheet on fish protection and downstream fish migration measures.

This infographic summarizes the information on build-out flow and bypass flow at sites entered in the Atlas Fish Protection & Downstream Fish. The proportionate flow rate corresponds to the percentage of the bypass flow rate in relation to the development flow rate. The infographic is part of a fact sheet on fish protection and downstream fish migration measures.

This infographic summarizes the data on the monitoring studies, differentiated by screen bar spacing and build-out flow rate at the sites entered in the Atlas Fish Protection & Downstream Fish up to a build-out flow rate of 200 m³/s. The infographic is part of a fact sheet on fish protection and downstream fish migration measures.

This infographic evaluates the information on the type of fish protection systems at the sites listed in the Atlas of Fish Protection & Downstream Fish. The infographic is part of a fact sheet on fish protection and downstream fish migration measures.

This infographic shows the dimensions of the screen field, entered in the Atlas of Fish Protection & Downstream Fish, for 37 sites. The resulting screen widths are between 2.35 m and 51.9 m and the screen heights are between 0.8 m and 12.20 m. The infographic is part of a fact sheet on fish protection and downstream fish migration measures.

For 65 sites, the rake bar spacing is given in the atlas. This is registered in five classes. This infographic visualizes the information. The infographic is part of a fact sheet on fish protection and downstream fish migration measures.

This infographic evaluates the information on the aspects of the monitoring studies (multiple answers possible) at the sites entered in the Atlas of Fish Protection & Downstream Fishways. The infographic is part of a fact sheet on fish protection and downstream fish migration measures.

The illustration provides an overview of the information structure of the Atlas sites. It is part of a fact sheet on fish protection and downstream fish migration measures.

The European Commission's Fit for 55 package proposes two significant reforms to energy pricing in the EU: Energy Taxation Directive (ETD) reform; and extending emissions trading to cover emissions from buildings and road transport (ETS2). A concern among stakeholders is how these reforms would impact lower income households. Various policy mechanisms are under consideration to help address potential distributional impacts. Based on a microsimulation model developed by the Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3) with IEEP, this report analyses a series of reform scenarios supported by graphical depictions of their distributional effects in Germany.

The German government has set itself major goals for the expansion of solar energy. One important force in this is citizen energy. Does the draft amendment to the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) meet the high expectations for an acceleration in tenant electricity, community self-consumption and renewable energy communities?

The World Water Day, was introduced by the United Nations in 1992 to remind people of water as an essential resource for life. For this year's theme "Groundwater – making the invisible visible", Ecologic Institute co-organized a webinar to present an augmented reality app that was developed as part of the project Digital Water City (DWC). The webinar was moderated by Alexander Sperlich (BWB) and Dr. Ulf Stein (Ecologic Institute).

In an integrated global economy, trade policy and climate policy are closely intertwined. In this paper, Ecologic Institute's Dr. Michael Jakob adopts an interdisciplinary approach to provide an overview of the key debates in economics, political science, and legal studies related to globalization and climate change. He identifies a number of emerging issues that deserve increased attention in future research in this direction.

Exciting news: We are developing an Urban Governance Atlas for nature-based solutions as part of the INTERLACE project … and we want you to be a part of it! The Urban Governance Atlas (UGA) will be an interactive online database of around 250 good practice policy instruments that support the use of nature-based solutions (NBS) for urban ecosystem restoration and more inclusive green space planning.

In the article "Will Russia's War Spur Europe to Move on Green Energy?" by Paul Hockenos, R. Andreas Kraemer and Sascha Müller-Kraenner, both founders of Ecologic Institute, explain the opportunities and possible paths for an accelerated energy transition and independence from Russian gas.
