“Ecological Crises and Resource Consumption Under the Microscope” – this is the subtitle of Thomas Unnerstall’s book, and it precisely describes what he delivers in his richly illustrated work containing over 70 figures. He examines individual indicators such as biodiversity, species extinction, deforestation, and plastic waste in the oceans, weighing them against each other. His goal is neither to downplay nor to dramatize the current situation, but rather to present a comprehensive picture. From the perspective of FAW/n, this holistic view is essential in order to achieve the overarching goal of an eco-social market economy.

Dr. Thomas Unnerstall is an international consultant and author. After earning his PhD in physics, he spent several years working at the Ministry of the Environment in Baden-Württemberg before holding senior positions in the energy sector for more than two decades.
