EE-Monitor - Monitoring for a nature-friendly energy transition

The EE-Monitor ("Renewable Energy Monitor") provides a scientifically sound basis for the social debate on the nature-compatible expansion of renewable energies in Germany. The EE-Monitor supports the identification of both undesirable developments and positive trends in the nature-friendly expansion of renewable energies.

InPositiv - How renewable energies can have a positive effect on nature and biodiversity.

Renewable energies are a key technology for climate protection. But what does this mean in concrete terms for nature and the landscape - beyond known negative consequences? The research project InPositiv addresses this question and looks specifically at positive effects of renewables. InPositiv is a project of nature conservation associations, universities and specialist offices and is aimed at everyone who asks how an energy transition that is compatible with nature can succeed.
