With few natural resources, Germany relies on energy efficiency to lower costs and reduce dependency on fossil fuel exports. Optimizing energy efficiency is crucial to achieving the goal of 100% renewable energy production.

One of the most influential European practice schemes to support energy efficiency investments in the building sector with public funds, was developed jointly by the German government with the KfW bank in 2006. Notwithstanding the program's scale, the annual renovation rate is still only around 1%, while around 3% is needed for a decarbonization of the building stock by 2045.

AI in the context of international conflict is more likely to be associated with lethal autonomous weapons (LAWS) on the battlefield. Hiding on the other side of that coin are, however, rewarding questions regarding AI’s possible contribution to peace.

Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) enable the comparison of building energy consumption, making energy efficiency a key selling point for property sales or rentals. This analysis examines the current status of EPCs in Germany.

The staggering amount of waste generated by the disposable fashion model has become a major problem over the years. Newer business models utilize systems thinking and aim to move away from a linear system and towards a closed loop scenario.
