Components for the Transformation into a Sustainable Food System
(German Environment Agency, 2024)
The publication summarizes three strategies for transforming the food system that have been outlined in the “STErn project”, namely the promotion of a more plant-based diet, the further development of the organic farming and food industry and the strengthening of regional value chains. Measures to implement these strategies are bundled into three overarching approaches and presented graphically in the form of profiles. An interactive graphic provides an overview of all 39 proposed measures at a glance.
EMAS in Deutschland - Evaluierung 2012
(Umweltbundesamt; Bundesministerium für Umwelt, Naturschutz und Reaktorsicherheit, 2013)

EMAS in Germany - Evaluation 2012
(BMU/UBA, 2013)
With this report the Federal Environment Ministry and the Federal Environment Agency present the findings of an extensive survey among German organisations concerning their usage of the European environmental management system, ⁠EMAS⁠ (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme). The experiences of EMAS users detailed here are important for recognising possible areas for optimisation, and for forming suggestions of improvements to be considered in negotiations for the next amendment of the EMAS Regulation. This report summarises the results of the survey, and gives an overview of problems encountered in using EMAS in day-to-day operations.
Energy management systems in practice
(Umweltbundesamt, 2020) Barckhausen, Anton; Becker, Juliane; Malodobry, Peter; Deutschland. Umweltbundesamt
By 2050, the European Union aims to become climate neutral. The achievement of this goal will require, among others, a massive boost in energy efficiency. Companies and other organizations can make a significant contribution to climate protection through systematic and long-term energy management. Since its publication in 2011, ISO 50001 became the most important international standard for energy management systems. The guide “energy management systems in practice” contains instructions, recommendation and practical examples that support organizations in implementing an energy management system according to ISO 50001:2018 based on an initial energy audit. For companies and organizations that initially want to assess if an energy management system is worthwhile, the guide contains a “test run“ which can be carried out with manageable effort. For those companies and organizations that want to go beyond energy management and address their environmental impacts comprehensively, the guide explains how to step up to ⁠EMAS⁠, the eco management and audit scheme of the European Union.

Environmentally Harmful Subsidies In Germany 2014
(2014) Köder, Lea; Burger, Andreas; Eckermann, Frauke
In 2010 environmentally harmful subsidies in Germany amounted to more than €52 billion. The state granted subsidies among others to the lignite industry and aviation sector. The volume of subsidies therefore remains high - and there is no sign of a systematic reduction. Environmentally harmful subsidies not only thwart environmental protection, they are also a burden on public funds. A reduction would create the financial means for the state to shape a sustainable policy, for example for the benefit of climate protection or to modernize transport infrastructure. In its updated edition of the "Environmentally Harmful Subsidies in Germany" report the Federal Environment Agency recommends that these subsidies be systematically reduced without delay.

Focus on the future: Meat of the future
(Umweltbundesamt, 2022) Jetzke, Tobias; Richter, Stephan; Keppner, Benno; Deutschland. Umweltbundesamt; Veenhoff, Sylvia
Meat consumption has come under criticism in recent years. Meat substitutes are becoming increasingly popular in Germany and could be an alternative. In a study entitled "Meat of the Future", the UBA has now examined the effects of the three emerging meat alternatives - plant-based meat substitutes, edible insects and invitro meat - on the environment and health, and what role they could play in the diet of the future. According to the study, plant-based meat substitutes score best from an environmental perspective. Compared to beef, its production generates more than 90% less greenhouse gases and uses many times less water and land. Insect-based meat substitutes fare somewhat worse. The environmental and health impacts of in-vitro meat are difficult to assess so far. More research is needed here to really be able to produce a "clean meat" for the mass market.

Guidance on the control on the trade and on inspections of undertakings with regard to fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gases) and ozone-depleting substances (ODS)
(2016) Gschrey, Barbara; Zeiger, Bastian; Papst, Irene; Deutschland. Umweltbundesamt; Elsner, Cornelia; Lenz, Katharina
This guidance document has been developed in the project “Implementation and enforcement of EU regulations on fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gases) and ozone-depleting substances (ODS) in Bulgaria”. The objective of the document is to support Bulgaria in maximising its regulatory and enforcement capabilities with a focus on market surveillance and inspections of companies. It summarises the regulatory framework for F-gases and ODS in the EU, highlights new measures, including the F-gas phase-down and bans, and puts them into the Bulgarian context. Experiences, also in other EU member states, are referred to and recommendations for improving the enforcement of relevant EU F-gas and ODS regulations are given. To support effective inspection, checklists are provided to be used by inspectors during on-site inspections.
Guideline Prevention of food waste in the catering sector
(2016) Fink, Leonie; Roehl, Rainer; Strassner, Carola; Deutschland. Umweltbundesamt. Fachgebiet III.1.5 - Kommunale Abfallwirtschaft, Gefährliche Abfälle, Anlaufstelle Basler Übereinkommen
Foods carry a significant ecological backpack. Their production requires land area, consumes water and generates greenhouse gas emissions. Sadly, private households in Germany alone incur some 6.7 million tonnes of food waste every year. About one third of all the food eaten away from home ends up being discarded. This guide gives practical, easy-to-follow advice on how to avoid food waste in the catering industry – whether at conferences and trade fairs, private parties or company anniversaries.
Guidelines on environmental product information in e-commerce
(Umweltbundesamt, 2020) Hagemann, Helmut; Deutschland. Umweltbundesamt
When consumers want to find out about products, they often do research on the internet. Product information can be found online in a variety of places, starting with manufacturers' websites, search engines, internet communities and online shops. Product information makes an important contribution by enabling and encouraging environmentally-related purchasing decisions and thus the responsible participation of consumers. It is therefore important that the content and design of environmental product information is of high quality and meets the requirements of sustainability and good consumer information, while promoting transparency.

Heavy Freight. Big Challenge. One Goal.
(German Environment Agency, 2024)
Freight transport keeps the world running. In Germany freight transport has grown massively these past 30 years, by 75 %. Its climate-harming emissions are nowadays 25 % higher. Continuously high burdens of air pollution, noise and land consumption represent the downside of freight transport.The German Environment Agency (UBA) with this brochure attempts to present a vision for an environmentally sustainable freight transport by the year 2045 and recommends over 70 individual measures. Those measures addressing international, national and local types of transport would initialise necessary changes in order to achieve the above-mentioned vision and carry out important aspects of, fittingly, changing of points. This brochure addresses economics, politics and society.

Methodological convention 3.0 for the assessment of environmental costs
(Umweltbundesamt, 2018) Bünger, Björn; Matthey, Astrid; Deutschland. Umweltbundesamt
The Methodological Convention 3.0 for the Assessment of Environmental Costs contains recommendations for methods to assess environmental costs (Part "Methods") and provides new cost rates for emissions of greenhouse gases, air pollutants and noise, as well as for transport and energy generation (Part "Cost rates"). The cost rates show the benefit of environmental protection for society - and the costs that society incurs if environmental protection is neglected. The cost rates can be used to assess the impacts of laws and public investments, and for the design of economic instruments. In the corporate sector, the cost rates can be used, i.a., to calculate the environmental costs of production and in sustainability reports. Quelle: https://www.umweltbundesamt.de

Methodological Convention 3.2 for the Assessment of Environmental Costs
(German Environment Agency, 2024)
The new version of the UBA Handbook on Environmental Value Factors – the „Methodological Convention 3.2” – contains a partial update of the monetized environmental impacts published in the “Methodological Convention 3.1”, based on new value factors for greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions. A comprehensive update of all value factors – including components such as emission factors and utilization rates – will be published in the Handbook on Environmental Value Factors 4.0, scheduled for 2025.Environmental value factors reflect the benefit of environmental protection for society – and the costs that society incurs if environmental protection is neglected. The value factors can be used in the public sector to assess, e.g., the impacts of regulation and infrastructure investments, and for the design of economic instruments. In the corporate sector, the value factors can be used, i.a., to inform management decisions, monetize the environmental impacts of financial investments, and in sustainability reporting.

(Umweltbundesamt, 2020) Busse, Lilian; Rechenberg, Bettina; Bannick, Claus Gerhard; Beulker, Camilla; Biegel-Engler, Annegret; Brauer, Frank; Chorus, Ingrid; Claussen, Ulrich; Ebert, Ina; Eichler, Philipp; Gast, Marcus; Gohlisch, Gunnar; Grummt, Tamara; Heidemeier, Joachim; Hermann, Tim; Krüger, Franziska; Langner, Marcel; Mönch, Lars; Mohaupt, Volker; Oehme, Ines; Roskosch, Andrea; Schmidt, Ralf; Schmied, Martin; Scholz, Katrin; Tietjen, Lars; Weiss, Volker; Werner, Stefanie; Wichmann-Fiebig, Marion
Plastics are important materials, and the demand for and the consumption of plastic has been increasing for years. When plastics enter the environment, they can cause great damage to both ecosystems and living organisms. Meanwhile, plastics is found in oceans, rivers, lakes, and soil. One of the mains causes worldwide is the lack of insufficient waste and wastewater management but there are many other sources like tyre abrasion, films from agriculture, or plastic particles from cosmetics or cleaning materials. In addition, more and more plastic material enters the environment through littering. This paper shows - with regard to Germany - where we stand, what we need to do, what the research needs are, and which measures we can already implement in order to tackle the problem.
