Welcome to the website for German environmental information
and German research institutes!
This is a guide to webpages written in German. The websites listed here are split into three categories as explained below. They can all be reached from the navigation bar on the left. Also on the navigation bar you will find links to the main ESPERE page for Germany, and one to the list of links pages for each of the countries currently producing material for ESPERE.

Scientific Information - links to webpages written for a target group with more or less scientific background.
Research Institiutions - lists German research institutes concerned with environmental and climate-related research.
