					<description><![CDATA[Germany is losing its natural air conditioning: The ECONICS Green-Moist-Cool Index 2026, presented today by the ECONICS INSTITUTE together with NABU, shows, where ecosystems are particularly high-performing and where they urgently need restoration, based on environmental data. The five-year trend for the years 2021 to 2025 is alarming: The working capacity of many ecosystems is diminished.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[On 4 July 2026, Prof. Ibisch spoke on the topic ‘Greener, wetter and cooler: Nature in Germany needs to do more (and it can, if we support it)’. The talk was part of the GreenPulse festival, organised by the elobau Foundation, a partner of the Social-Ecological Forest Management study programme. Nature is not our service provider, but it does work for us. The good news is that we can help it do so. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The first conference of the Forest-Alliance (Wald-Allianz) brought together over 150 people from forestry practice, science, politics, and civil society in Meiningen, Thuringia. The focus was on exchanging experiences and learning from one another. Just as in the nested forest ecosystem, positive feedback loops emerge in this inspiring network for social-ecological forest management!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The forms and paths of growth of the "green" are sometimes inexplicable, sometimes downright improbable, but always inspiring. Nature never follows straight lines. Detours and setbacks can even lead to strengthening. 
At a time when we may doubt ourselves and despair, it is worth taking a look at the power of ecosystems. ECONICS is the logical approach to understanding this power a little better, learning from it, and thinking about and shaping human actions and economic activity in a truly ecosystemic way. Even more than our environment, we should probably pronature ourselves.]]></description>
