Focal points of work at European Environment Agency

  • Eco-efficiency
  • Integration of environmental concerns into sector policies
  • Integrated environmental assessment
  • Environmental "Headline" indicators

Focal points of scientific work at Wuppertal Institute

  • National Material Flow Accounting for the German economy as well as for the disaggregated economy (58 economic sectors according to input-output systematic).
  • Input-output analyses in order to quantify the direct and indirect resource use of the 58 sectors as well as of the categories of final demand.
  • Theoretical issues on resource productivity and labour productivity.
  • Integrated input-output analyses of material flows and labour in order to discover target-conflicts between the ecological, social and economic dimension of sustainability.
  • Time series analyses (1960-1994) of the factors capital, labour, resources and energy in order to examine the structural change.

Points 1 and 2 have been performed in the group of Stefan Bringezu (regional and national Material Flow Accounting). Points 3 to 5 have been carried through in close cooperation with Fritz Hinterberger who is responsible for economic issues at the division for Material Flows and Structural Change.
