Germany: Research for Sustainability

The environmental research supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) initially developed methods and techniques for recording and reducing pollution. The objective of the technologically oriented strategy was to provide for constant further development of the state of the art of environmental protection technology. The focus of research funding shifted from end-of-pipe technology to preventive and avoidance solutions and increasingly to causal research and environmental system research.
