The research group „Global Resource Use“ at the Institute for Ecological Economics (WU Vienna) was assigned a project on the development of the next issue of the Resource Report series called „The use of natural resources. Report for Germany 2022”.

It will be published by the German Environment Agency in autumn 2022. The purpose of the report series is to communicate the manifold interlinkages between resource extraction, resource consumption and economic development. It is closely related to the German Resource Efficiency Programme (ProgRess) and its updates by the German Federal Cabinet in March 2016 and foreseen for early 2020.

The research group was also responsible for the first two issues of the series published in 2016 and 2018, which received a lot of attention and positive feedback. The research project underlying the new issue was kicked off on 8.11.2019 in Vienna.
