This documentation summarizes the main interim results of the four-hour online workshop "Targets and Indicators for the Protein Transition in Germany" with 35 experts.

On the 4 April 2022 another online workshop on the socio-ecological transformation of the food system in Germany took place as part of the STErn project led by Ecologic Institute. The aim of the event was to discuss with 35 experts main behavioral drivers that are relevant for increasing diets that are more plant-based and declining the consumption of animal products. On this basis, policy options in Germany were evaluated and discussed.

This paper examines the concept of an "extended" digital product passport from a socio-ecological perspective using the example of batteries for electric vehicles. It evaluates different approaches to data regulation and formulates policy recommendations for decision makers in Berlin. It is based on preliminary work from the project, in which in particular three ideal types of data regulation and a methodology for their scenario-based evaluation were developed.

The emission of plastics into the environment is growing worldwide. Since existing regulations are not sufficient to curb the problem, the ever-increasing plastic production and use must be reduced overall. A systemic approach is needed that holds all actors responsible who produce, use, recycle, dispose and trade in plastic products and packaging. Policymakers must drive forward the necessary paradigm shift and facilitate a debate on sufficiency in society as a whole.

This paper discusses main behavioral drivers that are relevant for increasing diets that are more plant-based. The analysis of influencing factors aims to identify effective starting points where policy instruments can be applied in Germany to achieve changes in dietary patterns across the population as effectively as possible and to reduce the consumption of animal products. The result is a pre-structured collection of potentially effective policy approaches.

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 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 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.

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.

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).
