What others are saying about Ecologic Institute

News

Ecologic Institute’s cooperation with experts from various organisations and research institutions has contributed to the institute’s reputation for excellence in transdisciplinary and policy-relevant research. Over the past years sponsors, partners and colleagues have joined the work of Ecologic Institute in many ways, drawing on its expertise and encouraging it to taking up new challenges but also acknowledging its contribution to the improvement of environmental policies and sustainable development.

I am exceedingly happy to see Ecologic Institute carrying the tradition of the Institute for European Environmental Policy further and moving up the ranks to become one of the most influential environmental think tanks in the world. Congratulations!

Prof. Ernst von Weizsäcker, Co-Chair, International Resource Panel, Director (1984-1990) of the Institute for European Environmental Policy

 

Only those who sometimes make others uncomfortable are useful. Environmental protection needs strong partners who dare to speak up when, despite many promises and good intentions, eco-policy hits a dead end. After the eco-political decades of change that saw the first environmental laws and after consolidation through an increase in scientific knowledge, the capacity to regulate and the sectoralisation especially of climate policy, an overview of these complex issues is needed now more than ever before. The more people that are working to support nature and the environment, the more an overview and orientation become necessary nationally and internationally, practically and methodologically, with regards to both content and communication as well as to administration and markets. Backgrounds in political form: this is what I view as Ecologic Institute’s strength and in that I wish Ecologic Institute much success in the future.

Dr. Günther Bachmann, Secretary General, German Council for Sustainable Development 

 

For several years I have had the pleasure of working together with Ecologic Institute. I regard its reliable and high-quality work with much esteem. The institute enriches the scientific landscape with its competence and international orientation.

Dr. Karsten Sach, Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, Head of Directorate International Cooperation

 

I send my sincere congratulations to Ecologic Institute from the US! Environmental policy needs creative and innovative thinkers, skilled communicators and transboundary alliances. I am looking forward to continuing to drive forward international climate protection and transatlantic cooperation together with Ecologic Institute in the future.

Jennifer Morgan, Director, Climate and Energy Program, World Resources Institute
