ILLUSTRATION GERMANY

Sustainability Ranking Developed Countries – October 2020

Source: DPAM, October 2020
Please keep in mind that for year-on-year comparisons, sustainability ranks could be influenced by various factors, such as changes in metrics and data availability.

In this half of the year assessment we focus on Germany’s evolution within the ranking:

Main concerns

Increase in the age dependency ratio. This phenomenon represents a major sustainability challenge for the German population going forward. Immigration could be potential solution, if managed properly.

Environment

Improving on several indicators, but not fast enough. Still large amount of electricity from coal (44%).
Renewables do represent +25% of energy production, but have also experienced some setbacks lately.

Achievements

  • Impressive stability in the sustainability ranking since inception of the model
  • Further decrease in (already low) youth unemployment
  • Strengths in transparency and democratic values

 

In addition, the population’s health & wellness is also an area of strength, which could explain the relative sound management of the sanitary crisis.
