Renewable Energy Report 2019 – English edition published

The loss of biodiversity and climate change are challenges of global importance. Both issues are closely interlinked. And both developments are (partly) caused by human activities, so it is essential to reverse the trend in order to safeguard the systems that support life. The Renewable Energy Report 2019 report looks in more detail at the balance of synergies and conflicts between nature conservation and climate protection and demonstrates approaches to solutions based on current research by the German Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (BfN).

The report does not include the range of topics associated with the expansion of the grid and offshore wind energy. The report also examines options for action which go beyond the primary nature conservation responsibilities but nevertheless have great relevance for protecting nature and the landscape.

The report is based on findings from 40 completed and current research projects at the Federal Agency for Nature Con¬servation (BfN) on the environmentally compatible expansion of renewable energies. Besides species conservation, these focus on the issues of “land” and “landscape”.

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.
