Cooperation
The Project
Together with Peter Altmaier (CDU), German lawyer and Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy and Dirk Messner, President of the Federal Environment Agency, we are running the pan-European Innovate2030 project row. Every six months, we will launch a new edition of the Innovate2030 Challenge, each focusing on a specific set of the SDGs.
In our daily actions we rely heavily on the use of the natural environment and resources in a way which is destroying our planet. Therefore, we must change the way we produce and consume things rapidly in all areas of life, which is why the first project of the row is oriented on the 12th SDG: “Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns“.
- What will sustainable consumption and production look like in the future and what changes can be identified?
- How can digital technologies help develop innovative solutions for our society?
