Civil peace in Sudan – and Germany's important role

Commentary

In the conflict in Sudan, diplomatic efforts are focused too heavily on the two main warring parties, the SAF and RSF, while civilian actors are barely involved. Without their active participation, a peace process has little chance of success.

Ahmed Kodouda, Ulf Terlinden

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.

Atlas

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.

Soil Atlas 2015

Atlas
