Support for the implementation of the National Program for Sustainable Consumption

Zeitraum January 2016 – December 2019

Auftraggeber BMUB, UBA

Kooperationspartner adelphi, IÖW

Within the project, ISIconsult supports the implementation of the National Program for Sustainable Consumption as well as the associated competence center in the partner consortium.

For this purpose, a web-based national action and information platform will be created as a central information medium to make relevant background information on the national program, progress of the implementation process and results available to the interested public. In addition, a network is being built up within the framework of various event formats, which is intended both to bring about broad social acceptance for sustainable consumption and to promote the emergence of new initiatives and exchanges of experience. In addition, the strategic further development of individual program elements is to be made possible – with regard to an update of the national program.

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.

Integrated sustainability assessment of alternative protein sources and analogs and transformation pathways of two selected alternatives.

Against the background of a growing global demand for proteins and at the same time significant negative impacts of the production of animal products, the focus of the project is on the exploration of alternative protein sources and analogues. The aim is to obtain an overview of current processes, raw materials and products for the provision of alternative proteins and analogues and to investigate, on the basis of a selection, how likely and desirable the diffusion of these alternatives is.
