The German Environmental Foundation was founded 40 years ago by Udo Simonis, Ernst Ulrich von Weizäcker, Günter Grass and Bernhard Grzimek, among others. True to its motto "Hope through action", it is committed to preserving the natural habitats of people, animals and plants. The German Environmental Foundation is politically and economically independent and is the largest German community foundation for environmental protection.
The Ecology Yearbook has now been around for 30 years. Since then, more than 800 authors have contributed to the yearbook's environmental debate. This is another reason why the publication has become a central authority in the environmental debate. The German Environmental Foundation and the German Federal Environmental Foundation recently celebrated the thirtieth anniversary of the Yearbook. Time and again, the Yearbook has drawn attention at an early stage to topics that often only became the subject of broad debate in the environmental movement years later. And it has always been an interface between theory and practice. The new issue will be published in October: "The great deception - How we are putting our future at risk and missing out on the necessary transformation."
