Lusatia’s Transformation Is Falling Short on Environmental Sustainability
10.3 billion euros of federal funding and several hundred million euros of state funding have been allocated to support the structural transformation of the Lusatian coal district in Brandenburg. But are the projects targeted by this funding putting the region on course for a sustainable future? A…
Where Leading Countries Stand in the Transition to Renewable Heating, Road Transport and Electricity
The sluggish rate of progress made in the energy transition is putting the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050 at risk. On the positive side, with early warning indicators guiding timely and targeted interventions, we can accelerate progress across several domains. An…
Youth Participation in Lusatia: Good Processes, Limited Impact
Substantial resources are being allocated to transform Germany’s former coal regions. What opportunities exist for young people to contribute to this process? What are their aspirations? A new study by researchers from the Research Institute for Sustainability (RIFS) draws on interviews and…
Superconducting Cables for a Sustainable Energy Transition
Superconductors – materials that can conduct electricity without any resistance – were discovered over a century ago. As these materials must be cooled to very low temperatures to achieve superconductivity, they have not been used to transport electricity over long distances to date. But this could…
Putting the Climate Crisis on Stage: New Forms of Presentation for a Complex Topic
Earthquakes, epidemics, tyranny and war – theatre has honed in on crises since its earliest days. In recent years, more and more productions have addressed the subject of climate change. Which forms of presentation have proved suitable? And how much complexity can theatre convey? During a year-long…
