Emission Balance of Renewable Energy Sources in 2014 (Flyer)

An Analysis undertaken by the German Environment Agency


Calculations for the year 2014 show that the expansion of renewable energies contributes substantially to achieving national climate goals in Germany. Over all energy sectors (i.e. electricity, heat and transport) fossil fuels are increasingly replaced by renewable energies thereby permanently avoiding energy related emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) and air pollutants. In 2014, GHG-emissions am...read more

Integrated Scenarios in the scope of the national sustainability strategy

Possible context scenarios for sustainability policy up to 2040 and sustainable design options for spare time, habitation and nutrition


Sustainability, by definition, is about maintaining future capability in one‘s own decisions. What happens, though, if the framework conditions change? What if the different political, economic and social actors have different ideas of sustainable solutions? Systematically developed future scenarios have been used to point out room for solution for sustainable action in spare time, living and buil...read more

Comparison of species sensitivity of Daphnia and fish in acute and chronic testing


Based on the animal welfare concept (Art. 13, Art. 25), the REACh Regulation (EC 1907/2006) provides several options to avoid the long term fish toxicity test. About 240 substances from the ECHA and ICS database including 73 pesticides are analysed for species sensitivity differences and acute to chronic ratios to evaluate whether and when chronic fish toxicity tests can be avoided without underes...read more

Environmental Trends in Germany


Environmental policy requires great staying power not only in terms of climate protection. A look at air pollution control and water protection shows that while harmful emissions to the environment are decreasing in many areas, this is no reason to sound the all clear. For example, only ten percent of rivers and streams in Germany and only about one percent of examined sections of North and Baltic...read more

Waste classification, sampling and analysis


The aim of the EU waste policy is the promotion of the circular economy in order to conserve resources on the one side and to protect human health and the environment on the other side. Before the decision about appropriate treatment options of waste can be made the correct characterisation of waste is necessary. This brochure provides guidance on classification, sampling and analysis of waste.read more

Adaption to Climate Change: Evaluation of Existing National Information Systems (UV-Index, Heat Warning System, Airborne Pollen and Ozone Forecasts) from a Public Health Perspective – How to Reach Vulnerable Populations


Climate change affects human health through more frequent and/or more severe extreme weather events and increasing climate variability. National information and early warning systems (UV index, heat health warnings, pollen and ozone forecasts) can potentially prompt protective or adaptive measures by the population and thus protect health from environmental factors. The information and early warni...read more
