10/2025 – Thinking Ecology

Sustainability does not end with ecological goals – it reaches deep into social and economic processes. However, when objectives are in conflict, tensions arise: Improved occupational safety may increase emissions, green financial instruments fall flat without intelligent design, and more social justice can lead to higher demand for land in the short term

The new issue of ZEW Monthly, “Thinking Ecology”, shows why genuine transformation can only succeed if ecological consequences are taken into account from the very beginning.
