Conservation and Ecology

The Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, a German political foundation, has joined forces with EPICO Climate Innovation to promote a market- and innovation-oriented strategy for achieving climate neutrality. This collaboration is aimed at driving profound changes necessary for sustainability, a principle that the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung views as a prerequisite for prosperity and a cornerstone of the social market economy.

Democracies, with their ability to balance value structures and pragmatism, are well-suited to spearhead these changes. The Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung advocates for alliances between states that strive for high sustainability standards and engage their citizens in shaping these standards.

The transition to greater sustainability should not only be economically viable but also oriented towards the daily lives of people. This approach aims to gain acceptance and avoid eroding social cohesion. The political will to implement sustainability is crucial for creating the necessary framework conditions.

Sustainability has a political component, requiring active citizen participation to shape the future viability of the country. To facilitate this, the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung offers events, studies, and analyses for interdisciplinary exchange, fostering political and societal debate on sustainability issues.

The "Policy Accelerator for Climate Innovation" is a project between the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung and EPICO Climate Innovation. This initiative aims to develop action recommendations and target images for achieving climate neutrality. The central political measures developed and implemented by the collaboration focus on promoting a market- and innovation-oriented strategy, including supporting regulatory frameworks that incentivize green technologies, fostering public-private partnerships, and advancing policies that stimulate investment in sustainable innovation.

The Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung also has a publication series and publication projects that offer insights into innovations for the transition to a sustainable lifestyle. These resources provide valuable information and guidance for individuals and organisations seeking to contribute to a more sustainable future.

In conclusion, the collaboration between the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung and EPICO Climate Innovation is a significant step towards promoting a market- and innovation-oriented strategy for climate neutrality. By focusing on democracies, citizen participation, and practical solutions, they aim to drive meaningful change and build a more sustainable future for all.
