As one of Germany’s leading environmental and consumer protection organizations, we drive real, positive change: We advocate for climate action, nature conservation, environmental protection, and consumer protection, and we fight for solutions that serve the interests of people and nature.
We support stakeholders at the local level. We work on climate protection and climate adaptation, urban nature and land use, health, and environmental justice. We initiate participatory processes, campaigns, and initiatives to drive change for environmental and climate protection in cities and communities. In our schoolyard projects, we work together with students to develop concrete climate adaptation measures on school grounds and support them in implementing these measures. We work as a team, drawing on extensive technical expertise—and, ideally, with a dash of humor.
