Blog Post A&W Nora Koegel
This blog post shows why the EU Renovation Wave should link environmental and social issues. EU member states are currently facing three crises: the climate crisis, an energy security crisis and a social crisis. The EU Renovation Wave has a key role in responding to all three crises. However, it can only fulfill this key role if the implementation of the renovation wave is socially fair.

1 page of the summary of the Online Expert Dialogue on Reusable Transport Packaging
Almost one third of all packaging in Germany is so-called transport packaging, which becomes waste after its single use. Despite the factual relevance of this packaging group, it is strongly underrepresented in the public perception as well as in the political discourse. During the online expert dialogue "Reusable Transport Packaging" on 27 February 2023, good examples from practice were presented and potentials, challenges and necessary elements for the expansion of reusable transport packaging were discussed together with experts from trade, logistics industry, civil society and politics. The summary is available for download.

Cover of the ReachOut deliverable Guidelines for climate service tools
As part of the EU-funded REACHOUT project, a first collection of climate service tools was developed to support cities in adapting to climate change. The publication D3.5 - Guidelines for Climate Service Tools provides a structured overview of twelve technical and "soft" tools that are brought together in the Triple-A Toolkit - a methodological framework covering the phases of analysis, ambition and action. The tools were co-created and tested in close cooperation with seven European City Hubs and offer practical solutions for climate-resilient urban development - from data-based analyses to participatory formats.

Pay as you eat meat Report Aaron Scheid CE Delft
Animal products are an essential part of today's German diet, but they are associated with a variety of environmental problems, such as global warming, eutrophication of soils and waters, etc.. These cause external costs. The study, co-authored by Aaron Scheid and Benjamin Görlach of Ecologic Institute, estimates these external costs for animal products and examines policy measures to address them.
