New Developments in Eco-Innovation Research

Eco-Innovations lead to less environmental impacts or to a reduction of energy use and are therefore crucial for climate protection. The literature on the determinants and the effects of eco-innovation activities is fast growing. Many of these analyses show that environmental policy triggering eco-innovation may lead to positive performance and employment effects. The international workshop aims at discussing new developments and analyses in the field of eco-innovation. It is dedicated to the memory of Klaus Rennings who unexpectedly passed away on September 16th 2015. Klaus Rennings was a well-known researcher in the field of eco-innovation and published numerous papers on the topic.
