BfN-Panel: „Solar energy: paths to a nature-friendly built-up"

The new position paper of the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (BfN) describes how an environmentally compatible expansion of solar energy can succeed. BfN President Sabine Riewenherm presented the contents of the paper at the BfN-Panel on 26 October in Berlin.

BfN-Panel: „Solar energy: paths to a nature-friendly built-up",  Berlin, 26. October 2022 – in attendance and online

Following the presentation, a high-ranking panel discussed criteria for the environmentally compatible expansion of solar energy and the opportunities that this can offer for nature conservation.

A large number of participants - about 70 people on site at the conference centre in the House of the Federal Press Conference and about 300 people online - followed the lively expert discussion with great interest. The participants included state offices, regional planning and planning offices, municipalities, photovoltaic project developers, law firms as well as financial institutions and the scientific community, be it colleges, universities or research institutions.

How can the expansion in renewable energies be designed in harmony with nature? The Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (BfN) is providing expert scientific advice on this question to the Federal Ministry of the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (Bundesumweltministerium, BMUB). Research by the BfN always has a practical application and generates scientific results for advising government i.e. supplies a basis for decision-making for the preparation, implementation, monitoring and further development of nature conservation measures and the Federal Government's nature conservation policy.
