The largest mining project in human history - Arguments against deep-sea mining
The deep sea is a unique habitat with enormous biodiversity. Despite this, states are currently negotiating rules on the extraction of mineral resources from the deep sea floor. Deep-sea mining will inevitably lead to species extinction and additional pollution of the already highly endangered oceans. Instead of more mining, we need a raw materials turnaround and strong rules to protect the oceans and all those who live from and with the sea.

This game allows pupils to determine the ecological footprint of examples from different continents in a vivid and participatory way. The connection between climate change and justice is conveyed in a concrete and non-preachy way.
If the group is larger, the role cards can be handed out several times to the participants. Alternative: Teams of two are each given a role card to think about together. Depending on the questions and role cards, the participants move forward in steps. In this way, some learn what it means to be "left behind"; others reach the "planetary boundaries" towards the end of the game. Playing time: 40 minutes.
Game description, questions and role cards, suitable for class 5 and above

True Cost Accounting Agrifood Handbook
The TCA AgriFood Handbook presented here was developed by the True Cost Accounting Initiative and outlines a TCA methodology for the food and farming sector. The TCA methodology describes how agri-food businesses can measure, value and report the environmental, social and health externalities ("true costs") of plant-based products with a focus on supply chain analysis. The methodology centres around three capitals - natural, social and human capital.

Until now, the cultivation, transport and distribution of agricultural commodities have often caused so-called hidden costs. This position paper aims to provide impetus as to what a sustainable accounting system could look like and show what steps are necessary to get it off the ground.

Let there be light! Projects and solutions for a global decentralised energy transition
Not everyone in the world has equal access to energy. This brochure uses exemplary projects from the countries of the Global South, where people live in rural areas without existing infrastructure, to show how small, decentralised systems for generating electricity using renewable energies offer the best option for energy supply.

The blind spot of financial policy. The impact of environmentally harmful subsidies in Germany on the Global South
With its climate-damaging subsidies, Germany is thwarting its efforts in the fight against climate change and global poverty. The study by the Forum Ökologisch-Soziale Marktwirtschaft (FÖS) analyses the effects of German subsidies, from which the Global South suffers in particular.
