Cover Fleischatlas 2013 - Fleisch in Form von Europa, Afrika, Nord- und Südamerika liegt auf einem Teller

Fleischatlas 2013

Atlas
The Meat Atlas uses text and infographics to provide insights into the global connections associated with everyday meat consumption.

Fleischatlas Extra

Atlas
When only the prime cuts end up on our plates and the rest of the animal is used for energy production or as fertilizer, this has little to do with appreciation. In this “Meat Atlas Extra,” we provide information about the animals you do not eat.

Fleischatlas 2014

Atlas
The 2014 Meat Atlas serves up twenty short essays on new topics related to meat consumption. It sheds light on the “big business” of meat and shows that alternatives to large-scale industrial production are possible.

Europa-Atlas

Atlas
Europe is more than just debt crises, bureaucracy, and national narrow-mindedness. This is demonstrated by the Europe Atlas, published by the Heinrich Böll Foundation in collaboration with the German Council on Foreign Relations, the European Council on Foreign Relations, and Le Monde Diplomatique.

Kohleatlas

Atlas
Germany is world champion! In lignite mining. A quarter of Germany's greenhouse gas emissions come from the 30 largest coal-fired power plants. The result is dramatic damage to the climate, the environment, and human health. The Coal Atlas shows that a gradual phase-out of coal-fired power generation is technically possible and necessary.
Bodenatlas 2015

Bodenatlas 2015

Atlas
To mark the International Year of Soils, the 2015 Soil Atlas presents facts and figures on the importance and condition of land, soils, and arable land in Germany, Europe, and worldwide.

Future of Democracy

Fleischatlas 2016 - Deutschland Regional

Atlas
More and more people want to know how their food, and especially the meat they eat, is produced. The new Meat Atlas 2016 – Germany Regional takes a look at the federal states and shows how social demands and the reality of meat production in many places are far apart.

Konzernatlas

Atlas
Food production rarely has anything to do with small-scale farming, traditional craftsmanship, or unspoiled nature. Today, it is primarily a lucrative business run by a few large corporations that divide the fields and markets among themselves.

Perspectives Africa

Perspectives 2/2014: Greening the Continent

For this edition of Perspectives, the Heinrich Böll Foundation offered Africa-based thinkers and commentators an opportunity to critically reflect on what a “transition towards sustainability” means or should mean for the region. The articles gathered here go beyond ideological debates to also provide some case studies where green-economy principles have been applied.

Perspectives 03/2014: What Ya Looking At?

For this edition of Perspectives the Heinrich Böll Foundation asked a number of African intellectuals, writers and analysts to provide their take on Africa’s relationship with Europe.

Perspectivas Lateinamerika

(in German)

Perspectivas Lateinamerika: Eine Frage des Geschlechts

Lateinamerika hat in Bezug auf Geschlechtergerechtigkeit viel erreicht. Doch Benachteiligung und Ungleichheit zwischen den Geschlechtern sind noch lange nicht beseitigt. Hinzu kommen neue Problembereiche wie Frauenhandel und Organisierte Kriminalität. In der zweiten Ausgabe der perspectivas Lateinamerika lassen wir Autorinnen und Autoren aus unterschiedlichen Regionen zu Wort kommen.

Perspectivas Lateinamerika: Jenseits des Raubbaus

Der Abbau von mineralischen, fossilen oder agrarischen Ressourcen für den Export, der Extraktivismus, dominiert die Ökonomien Lateinamerikas. Dieser Entwicklungspfad ist jedoch zunehmend umstritten. Es mehren sich die Stimmen, die sozial und ökologisch gerechtere Alternativen fordern. In Perspectivas kommen sie zu Wort.

Perspectivas Lateinamerika: Kommen, Gehen, Bleiben, Weiterziehen

Wir möchten mit Perspectivas Nr. 3 den Blick auf den Umgang mit Migration in Lateinamerika lenken. Unsere Autorinnen und Autoren analysieren Ursachen und staatliche Politiken, zeigen auf, welche Auswirkungen das für Migrantinnen und Migranten hat, und berichten von Solidaritätsstrukturen, die praktische und politische Unterstützung leisten.
