environmental policy

What does environmentally friendly agriculture and sustainable, healthy nutrition look like in Germany? What mix of instruments can be used to achieve the transformation of the agricultural and food system in Germany? UBA is addressing these and other questions in the “Food and Agriculture with a Future” project and developing solutions and recommendations for action.

The Corona crisis challenges many familiar things. The economy is under pressure, people are changing their habits. What does this mean for environmental policy in the long term? UBA has launched various activities to address this issue. A special "Corona Task Force" has produced initial discussion papers. In addition, the economic perspective of "green recovery" is the focus of other activities.

The range of occupations and qualifications required is as diverse as the economy itself. The trend towards more environmental protection in professional training can be observed in many industries. In addition to the respective expert knowledge, soft skills are often important for environmental professionals, such as the ability to work in an interdisciplinary team and to be open to new ideas.

A study by the German Environment Agency looks into the scope for political and economic steering to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from bogs and forests. The analysis covers measures both at international level (UNFCCC) and EU level.
