Organizational and technical support for colloquia “Making Environmental Policy Fit for Transformation: New Basic Configurations for Applied Environmental Policy”.

Zeitraum August 2015 – November 2015

Auftraggeber UBA

Kooperationspartner

The aim of the UBA colloquia was to support the exchange of experience and networking of ideas between public institutions, scientific institutions involved in applied sustainability and transformation research, and also within the Federal Environment Agency.

This project was intended to follow on from the series of lectures on greater sustainability “Germany’s Paths to the Future” held by UBA a few years ago. The substantive objective of the project was to send out new (networking) impulses, to take up innovative ideas, to address dynamics that may lie beyond conventional environmental policy, to shed light on the field of transformation research, and to discuss and, if possible, further develop new basic configurations for applied environmental policy.

The importance of civic engagement in strengthening local communities for sustainable urban development: a real-world laboratory in Dessau-Roßlau

Civic engagement is becoming increasingly important for sustainable urban development geared towards the common good. With their interest in liveable, everyday urban spaces, active citizens are driving forward sustainable, cooperative forms of building, living, consuming and working. In doing so, they contribute (at least implicitly) to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, environmentally friendly production processes and the protection of biodiversity. Although civic engagement is recognized as having great potential, it often remains disconnected from administrative processes: Both sides do not come together sufficiently in municipal governance, which reduces the impact of engagement.
