Crysis 3 is brought to life by the latest engine from Crytek: The CryEngine 3. Delivering stunning visuals and real-world physics, the CryEngine 3 gives Crysis 3 unbelievable life as you step into the jungle that is New York City!
Dome, Sweet Dome!
Crysis 3 is probably the prettiest game you'll ever see on a PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360. The PC version really pushes the boundaries in terms of tech, but its console cousins are no slouches, either. Look around and you'll see marvels: the rocks are slippery with rushing water, the sky is covered with shifting clouds, grass sways beneath your feet, and buildings and enemies are wonderfully detailed.
It helps that the game takes you somewhere really special, too. After the first Crysis game dropped you into a tropical island mid-way through an alien invasion, and Crysis 2 whisked you to New York once the outer-space baddies had reached Manhattan, Crysis 3 wants you to have the best of both worlds. Twenty years have passed since you defeated the alien menace - or did you? - and in that time, the evil Cell Network has built a massive dome over the remains of New York City, imprisoning any remaining extra-terrestrial threats inside.
Maximum Stealth
Inside the dome, all is not what it seems, however: geological processes have been sped up, and New York has become an urban rainforest. Streets have split into canyons, and the financial district's become a network of caverns. Cast as Prophet, the Nanosuited superhero who's been sent to save the day, this means you get to explore a range of diverse environments, shooting up everything you come across as you try to work out exactly what the Cell network is up to.
To help you on your way, you've got that futuristic suit of yours, of course: a weapons system that can provide you with bursts of super strength when you need to race across the terrain at double-speed or kick a car into a bunch of enemies, but which also allows you to either boost your armour capacity during firefights or turn invisible when you want to get sneaky. This is where Crysis 3 is at its best, in fact: alongside the suit you've got a new Predator Bow for sending arrows silently winging their way across the landscape, picking off foes without being seen.
Like the game's guns, your bow can be customised and filled with different ammo - some of which is electrical, say, or explosive. You can also customise your suit in various ways by collecting upgrade kits. This should bring new life to the campaign as you kit yourself out with a variety of different skills before wading back into the action.
That's the good news. On the down side, Crysis 3 sometimes struggles to live up to its promise. None of its guns are as memorable as the weapons you wield in a Halo or a Call of Duty game, for example, while the campaign's fairly short and filled with the sort of set-pieces you're likely to have played through in dozens of other games. There's variety - you'll get vehicle sections, bosses, and a handful of story moments - but, environment aside, there's little that you genuinely won't have seen before. It's prettier here, but you may still tire of the campaign before it reaches its conclusion.
Luckily, that's when you'll want to switch to multiplayer, and this is where Crysis 3 really shines: there are twelve varied maps to play through, all the levelling up and unlock action you could care for, and plenty of great modes, from death match and a version of Capture the Flag and King of the Hill, to a brand new game type called Hunters, in which two players don the Nanosuit to track down and kill all the other players - growing their ranks with each kill.
In multiplayer, Crysis 3 is fast and furious and endlessly entertaining. It's just a shame that the campaign can't quite live up to the same high standards. If you're looking for a really good-looking shooter with clever stealth options and a great multiplayer, this should still be well worth your time. If you're just after a truly outstanding single-player campaign, however, you're going to end up a little bit disappointed.
GAME's Verdict:
The Good:
- Stunning visuals
- Great stealth
- Lots of multiplayer fun
The Bad
- Short campaign
- Disappointing gunplay
- Set-pieces are a bit predictable

Crytek, the developer behind the Crysis series, has always had a reputation for pushing the envelope of graphical pizazz. Now boss man Cevat Yerli has boasted that the upcoming Crysis 3 looks as good on current hardware as the launch titles on the yet-to-be-confirmed new Xbox and PlayStation consoles.
"I actually think people will be astonished that next gen launch titles from other companies might not be much different from Crysis 3," he told CVG, before promising even greater visual treats once new consoles are out: "Crytek's projects generally will be way above what we've achieved on the existing consoles."
Yerli also took the time to comment on the environments created for Crysis 3, which finds New York sealed inside a series of biodomes that see the city streets overrun by a rainforest. "Crysis 3 has its own visual identity, [the urban rainforest] is a world that hasn't been done before, that kind of depiction, the quality and level of immersion," he said. "I think no game has ever done that kind of setting, it's a visual spectacle. "It has not even been done in Hollywood. People might suggest there are similarities with I Am Legend, but that is quite different to this. It has its own identity and I'm very proud of what the team achieved in this regard."
Crysis 3 blazes onto PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC on 22nd February.
Published: 11/02/2013
Even though the excess of New Year is still fresh in our aching heads, this week sees the release of the first must-have blockbuster of 2013. Capcom's revamped and rebooted Devil May Cry has wowed critics and won over fans with its slick combat and slinky visuals, but that's just the start of what promises to be a spectacular year in gaming. Here are five games that we can't wait to play in the months ahead.
Crysis 3
Out: February 22nd
Platforms: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PCWhy So Excited?: Because the Crysis series has always been the benchmark for the modern shooter in terms of lush visuals, and developer Crytek is promising to pull out all the stops for this trilogy-closing entry. You'll take control of nano-suited anti-hero Prophet as he returns to a New York enclosed in biodomes which have allowed tropical jungles to sprout on the familiar streets of the Big Apple.
Using your high tech bow, and the various cool abilities that your armour provides, you'll sneak and slay your way through stunning open environments. Quite apart from the in-game thrills on offer, when most of the big shooters cluster around the pre-Christmas rush there's also something rather fantastic about a AAA shooter bold enough to stake its claim in the quieter early months of the year, where nothing can distract us from its groovy gameplay.
Tomb Raider
Out: March 5th
Platforms: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PCWhy So Excited?: You really have to ask? It's the return of Lara Croft, arguably the greatest modern video game character, absent from our joypads for far too long, and often stuck in average or poor quality sequels before that. After inheriting the series from defunct UK studio Core Design, developer Crystal Dynamics finally gets to divert from a 1990s template and reboot Tomb Raider in its own style.
The result is an action adventure that has more in common with the cinematic rush of Uncharted than the block-shoving puzzles and somersaulting tiger-shooting of old. There'll be multiplayer for the first time in a Tomb Raider game, and there's also the story to consider – one that's written by Rhianna Pratchett, and follows a much younger Lara as she learns to become the confident hero we already know, having been stranded on an island controlled by brutal pirates. Action and drama, with a gaming icon? What's not to love?
Bioshock Infinite
Out: March 26th
Platforms: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PCWhy So Excited?: Because how often do you see a sequel so gleefully tear up everything from its predecessors? Bioshock Infinite may share the name of the 2007 smash hit, but virtually everything else is different. The gloomy and desolate undersea city of Rapture is replaced with Columbia, a steampunk city in the clouds. Dark is replaced with light. Water replaced with air.
Can a game still be claustrophobic and scary in such bright, open environments? If anyone can pull it off, it's Ken Levine, the Bioshock creator who returns to the series after sitting out Bioshock 2. And it's not as if he hasn't had the time to perfect the game – Infinite's release date has slipped back more than once, but rather than a sign of trouble, it shows that Levine won't let this complex moral fable go until it's just right, even to the point of removing features – such as multiplayer – which weren't working to his required standard. When so many games tend to favour a kitchen sink approach, that sort of polish and focus demands to be rewarded.
The Last of Us
Out: May 17th
Platforms: PlayStation 3Why So Excited?: It's Naughty Dog, one of a handful of big studios that effortlessly combine compelling core gameplay, brilliantly realised characters and staggering cinematic sweep. What happens when a developer with that pedigree tackles the survival horror genre? That's what we can't wait to find out. The Last of Us was sprung on the gaming public just over a year ago, and it immediately became a "must see" title.
Set after a virulent plague wipes out most of humanity, it follows a grizzled survivor called Joel and Ellie, a young girl who he has taken under his wing, as they struggle to stay alive in the ruins of modern society, where brutal gangs and bloodthirsty maniacs lurk in the rubble. Unapologetically violent and with a gruelling storyline that explores the characters as much as the haunting landscape, The Last of Us brings us one step closer to gaming that packs as much punch as a big-name movie.
Grand Theft Auto V
Out: Spring
Platforms: PlayStation 3Why So Excited?: If you have to ask, you must have been on Mars for the last decade. A new Grand Theft Auto game is a guaranteed event, not least because Rockstar doesn't turn these sequels out unless there's a good reason to do so. No annual updates for this series, so the news that players will be returning to the hot sticky streets of Los Santos for the first time since 2004's Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is enough to put us on the edge of our seat.
Ever the tease, Rockstar has released only a few trailers and handfuls of screenshots, but it's enough to whet the whistle. With stunning graphics, bringing the city to life in never-before-seen detail, the big selling point is that this time around we'll be controlling three characters as they navigate the underbelly of modern urban life. Swapping between them at will, and combining their skills for missions, this could well be the evolutionary kick in the pants that the free-roaming crime genre needs. Would you expect anything else from the maestros that created the genre in the first place?
Published: 17/01/2013
It's just over a month until Crysis 3 arrives, and producer Mike Read from developer Crytek has been hitting the interview trail to talk up the sequel - and where the series will go next. Speaking with AusGamers, he teased that the team sees Crysis 3 as a way to bring back the best gameplay elements from the first two games in the ultimate stealth shooter.
"Coming back in Crysis 3, there's a lot of different elements that we have from Crysis 1, and Crysis 2 that we sort of rolled back on," Read said. "And it's that rollback, mixed with the hunter theme, the jungle themes, and the introduction of the bow, sort of just fit in with all of these different things that we had to offer on that front," Read explains what the team really wanted to bring to the third game."
"So that's really where we're at with it," he added. "We wanted to come and find a middle ground between the two, but not focus on one thing, as solely graphics, or solely gameplay quality, or cinematics. All of these things have been brought up to an equal level to create a great overall game experience."
He also hinted, as other Crytek folk have recently, that the Crysis series may take a left turn in its next iteration. Referring to Crysis 3 as closing off the current "story bubble", Read talked up the potential of the Crysis universe for future outings. "We could go in so many different ways in this franchise at this point," he explained, "And weave in alternate storylines from different tech, to different realities and things like that. So moving past Crysis 3, we have a lot of opportunities moving forward outside of this."
Crysis 3 is out on February 22nd for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3
Published: 14/01/2013
As rumours continue to swirl around regarding the next consoles from SONY and Microsoft, at least one developer reckons they've reached the limit of what they can do with the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
"Crysis 3 is absolutely maxing out the consoles," Crytek's Cevat Yerli has told Videogamer.com, declaring that there's "not even 1 percent left" once the game has milked the technology dry. "No game will ever look technically better than Crysis 3 on these consoles, flat out. Most games are not even anywhere near Crysis 2 technically. I'm not talking about art style - art is subjective - but the pure fact of what we have been cramming in with Crysis 2 on Xbox and PlayStation, I've yet to see a game do that still today."
And, yes, he really is throwing down the gauntlet to the other big action franchises, offering behemoths like Gears of War and Halo to step outside and prove who has the shiniest graphics. "Any day I will take a battle against Gears and Halo," reckons the bullish developer. "The amount of data we put in and the detail level is far superior."
Them's fightin' words, alright. We'll see if Crysis 3 lives up to the boasts when it launches for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC on February 21st.
Published: 12/12/2012
Futuristic shooter sequel Crysis 3 will hit UK shelves on February 22nd, publisher EA has announced. The game sees the return of series hero Prophet and his super-powered nanosuit. The setting is New York, which has been transformed into a teaming urban rainforest after being sealed inside a biodome by the clearly evil Cell Corporation.
Leading up to the launch, EA will release a narrative video series called The 7 Wonders of Crysis 3, introducing the location, characters and weapons. The title refers to the seven zones that the enclosed New York has been divided into. The short CGI films will be directed by Hollywood director Albert Hughes, using the same graphics engine as the game. Hughes is best known for the films Menace II Society, From Hell and Book of Eli.
In the game, players will wield Prophet's stealthy suit powers, a powerful bow and various alien weapons in his quest for revenge against the corrupt Cell Corporation. Everyone who pre-orders the game will receive the special Hunter Edition, containing bonus multiplayer weapon attachments, suit upgrades and bonus XP.
Crysis 3 is developed by series creator Crytek, and is out for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on February 21st.
Published: 07/12/2012
The third game in the Crysis series isn't out yet, but developer Crytek is already thinking about what will come next - and it has ambitious plans. Indeed, the game may not even be called Crysis 4 when it comes out.
"We are excited about the DNA of Crysis and of the franchise," studio head Cevat Yerli told Eurogamer. "There can be literally tonnes of titles out there within the franchise. Unlike Far Cry, this time around we feel very flexible about Crysis."
"I wouldn't name it Crysis 4 at this stage because it would be misleading," he said of the potential title. "Crysis 4 would imply the story just moves on."
The game isn't even in pre-production yet, because the studio wants it to be such a dramatic reinvention of the popular shooter series. "Normally in this time right now we would already have pre-production going on," Yerli says, "but because we want to make this something much more radical and new we are looking at it as a bit more of a long term thing. It's too early to talk about it for these reasons."
For now, we can look forward to Crysis 3, which is set for release in February 2013 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. Far Cry 3, Ubisoft's second sequel to the game which put Crytek on the map, is out at the end of November for the same formats.

Lloyd Mats offer mats for every kind of car use, mats that fit luxury limousines, mats for utility trucks, and for any use falling inbetween these extremes. The Berber Mat is an excellent choice for the multipurpose family car that at 4 a.m. is hauling your kids from a lacrosse game, kids who climb in with soiled shoes and snack on chips and peanuts on the way home, then is used at 7 p.m. to pick up your boss for an important business meeting at the Hilton. The Berber Mat gives a genuine comfort feeling, yet withstands dirt and moisture. The ingenious pattern and structure has an uncanny ability to make dirt and spills invisible. This is a true multi-purpose car mat, equally suitable for interiors and cargo areas.
Add the logo of your choice from Lloyd's extensive, licensed library of logos for car brands and models, for military and for lifestyles. Or personalize your mats with lettering of your choice.
Lloyd Mats has a custom mat pattern for virtually every vehicle sold in the US since 1960. The patterns are developed by Lloyd Mats for the best possible fit. The patterns are digitized, and the mats are cut using AutoCAD ultrasonic cutting technology to ensure a perfect fit to your vehicle, with the Lloyd mats often covering a slightly larger floor area than the mats provided by the car manufacturer.
Note: These mats are made to order and not returnable except for manufacturing errors. It is not a manufacturing error that the Lloyd Mat is slightly bigger than the OEM mats. Always test fit the mats before you file a complaint on a suspected misfit. In 99.9% of all cases you will find that the Lloyd Mat fits better than the original mat.
Lloyd Mats® (Lloyd) is the largest U.S. manufacturer of custom fit floor mats. The company started business in 1974. In 1999 Lloyd's employees purchased 100% of Lloyd's shares under a qualified Employee Stock Ownership Program. This makes for unsurpassed customer service and attention to detail, with every employee taking responsibility for his or her work as any good business owner does. Lloyd Mats are all made in a large plant in Los Angeles, California. Mat patterns are digitized and the mats are cut to perfect custom fit using AutoCAD controlled, ultrasonic cutting equipment. Lloyd has a pattern for virtually every make and model of car, truck or van sold in the United States from 1960 to the present. Development of mat and embroidery computer programs and the actual manufacture of the mats and the mat embroidery are all performed in Lloyd's plant, to ensure that all patterns and mats meet the high and strict quality standards that have made Lloyd Mats the undisputed leader in the custom car mat industry.

This product was to be custom fitted for my MB ML350. While the product is quite nice and usable, it is not a custom fit. I had to trim the mat to get it to fit. I like the mat and bought it since it was to be a custom fit.
I love this cargo mat. I was looking for one that didn't have a lip around it. After a couple of days with heavy items on it (to flatten it out, since it comes rolled up), this cargo mat has been great for protecting the carpet. The material seems pretty durable. I think this will last for the life of the car.
The product is exactly as advertised. It's a nice thick, clear material, and cut to the exact dimensions of the floor of my RX330's cargo area. My only complaints are (1) for a simple floor mat, it's a little pricey, and (b) I'm still waiting for the nasty plastic-rubbery smell to fade.
Perfect for the van. Protect the whole floor and fits perfectly. Definitely recommend it for anyone with a van. Excellent product.
I bought both 2008 750i and 2011 550i cargo mats for my 2 cars. They are essentially office mats cut to fit. Nothing distinguished, but functional. The 750i one was an exact fit. The 550i one is about 1/2 inch too big on the sides (end to end ok) so it rolls up a little on the edges. Not a big deal. Overall decent product.
I had more Jeep OEM cargo mat that had a lip. Things always got stuck on the lip and I had to lift everything over it. This mat is flat and cut out to fit my Jeep Commander. So it was what I was looking for. Note, the mat looks like a standard universal mat that is then cut to the shape of your car's specifications. It doesn't look "custom". It looks like somebody cut it into shape. It works for me.
Purchased two cargo mats, both fit very well in our two SUVs. I like the clear look so you can still see the color of the carpet under them. Very easy to clean.

It is the most advanced 'buy now' widget for selling books. I make it free for authors and publishers, worldwide, to quickly and easily create and use our EZBuyButton widget to place on their website or blog to immediately increase the sales of their books, especially if their books are listed for sale in more than one retail store. I made it super easy, with just a few clicks they just copy & paste a piece of code onto their website/blog, and they're done.
The widget allows website visitors to select which device they'd like to use to read the author's book, and then select their preferred retail store that they'd like to purchase the book from. It also geolocates the visitor's location and will send the visitor to the correct country specific retail store so that they can buy the author's book. The widget is also fully customizable, and the author will have access to detailed real-time statistics of the use of their widget.
I would like to invite you to visit my website, and try out the EZBuyButton widget. I hope you find that my widget will be useful to you and your readers, including all the authors, literary agents, and publishers you're in contact with.

Welcome to Book Blogs! I'm Kate, a young adult author. My debut novel Taste has just been released by Crescent Moon Press last April 30, 2012.
At Barinkoff Academy, there's only one rule: no students on campus after curfew. Phoenix McKay soon finds out why when she is left behind at sunset. A group calling themselves night students threaten to taste her flesh until she is saved by a mysterious, alluring boy. With his pale skin, dark eyes, and mesmerizing voice, Demitri is both irresistible and impenetrable. He warns her to stay away from his dangerous world of flesh eaters. Unfortunately, the gorgeous and playful Luka has other plans.
When Phoenix is caught between her physical and her emotional attraction, she becomes the keeper of a deadly secret that will rock the foundations of an ancient civilization living beneath Barinkoff Academy. Phoenix doesn't realize until it is too late that the closer she gets to both Demitri and Luka the more she is plunging them all into a centuries old feud.

Bosch unveils consumer MEMS
R Colin Johnson
PORTLAND, Ore. -- Bosch said it has integrated into a 32-bit microcontroller a three-axis accelerometer with its first nine-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) that includes a gyroscope and magnetometer. The accelerometer also runs sensor fusion algorithms on the microcontroller.
The Bosch Sensortec BMA355 three-axis accelerometer is said to provide ultra-low-power performance while an integrated interrupt engine on the tiny device permits 12-bit resolution in small devices such as power management for hearing aids and wireless sensor nodes.
For smartphones, tablets, game consoles and digital cameras, the BMA355 accelerometer includes on-chip motion detection, portrait-landscape orientation-switching, laying-flat detection, tap/double-tap sensing, shock detection and free-fall protection.
Bosch's first nine-axis IMU enables smartphones, tablets, global positioning systems and other consumer electronics to sense orientation via a 12-bit accelerometer.
The 5- by 4.5-mm device is the first member of a new Bosch Sensortec family of Application Specific Sensor Nodes which include integrated sensor fusion. The BNO055 system-in-package performs its own sensor fusion using a 32-bit microcontroller running Bosch's FusionLib software.
By including sensor fusion algorithms that integrates separate outputs from an accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer, "Bosch's FusionLib frees the design engineer from the details of characterizing and compensating for the variations in separate devices from different vendors," said said Leopold Beer, director global marketing at Bosch Sensortec (Reutlingen, Germany).
The nine-axis BNO055 IMU is designed for advanced inertial sensing including image stabilization, pedestrian tracking and gesture recognition for applications likeaugmented reality, immersive gaming, personal health and fitness, indoor navigation and wearable sensors.
Bosch's said its third-generation sensor FusionLib supports both Android and Windows 8 operating systems.

What a neat device. I would love to try it on a robot for navigational purposes. If the cost is low enough, maybe use it on arms/legs for robotic applications as well.
The combo offering with inertial and magnetic sensing along with sensor fusion algorithms on the micro is now the standard from big players (ST, Freescale, InvenSense, etc.). In addition to pricing, the differentiation must come from smaller form factors and vertical integrations -literally with 3D IC stacking, etc., for more integrated solution offering.

This is really neat device from Bosch. I am curious to know if free-fall protection feature is already available in smartphones/tablets ?

NYNM Here in New Mexico, we have blue corn pancakes. I know there are also kinds like whole wheat, buckweat, etc. Also pancakes themselves have different names: griddle cakes, johnny cakes (I think this is the same), flapjacks, etc. What other names and types of pancakes do you know about?
Neesie The Dutch Baby looks more like a volcano, hollow in the middle. The pannekeouken isn't indented like that; it just deflates. But they are probably in the same family. By the way, there is one Pannekeouken Huis that I know of in the Twin Cities. (Maplewood). I have a hard time getting my hubby to go there because they used to serve their beverages in mason jars, which he hates. I heard that they don't do that anymore.
susanll Potato is my favorite
Hepcat I'm with Susan. I like flapjacks and all the rest but potato pancakes are my favourite. It's partially due to my Lithuanian background I suppose but the other reason is that real potato pancakes are so tough to find even in dedicated pancake joints. Sour cream with potato pancakes is a must, however.

Petal Love
I have a miniature rose in my garden that originally was from my shop, I would put it in the doorway each morning when I opened. Anyway, it never did very well, and then I almost killed it over winter by leaving it water logged in its pot!
Well, look at it now! Blooming prolifically. I have it in vases everywhere and the bush itself is still laden!
Little bud vases.
The Princess and I went to the garden centre yesterday, I bought lettuce, she bought Petunia's! I planted them, I water them . . . petal love, mother love!
Amongst all these 'real' blooms I have been creating fabric ones. I found this tutorial sometime ago here and so in my typical fashion I fixate on one thing and start churning them out! But they are so fun to make!
I have three on offer as a giveaway as part of the One World - One Heart international giveaway. Go and have a look, amazing giveaways on offer and gob smacking talent!
If you would like to sign up for my giveaway you can do so by leaving a comment on my One World-One Heart post right here.
Have fun!
Bye for now

Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 17
Rated 5 out of 5 by capparelli Fabulous find
I was thrilled when Lancome introduced this product. Effective sun protection is important to me, and having a high-performance eye cream with SPF 28 is a fabulous find. This eye cream has a wonderful texture and it doesn't irritate my sensitive eyes--even when I wear my contact lenses. This is a great product!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Genesdoctor Great product, can't live without it!
I have been using this product for 5+ years now and I highly recommend it. I have a very demanding job with minimal sleep hours and this cream keeps my eyes fresh and without any dark circles. I even feel more awake after I use it. Just love it and can't live a day without it.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Camille Great!
I just bought this product so have not really seen how long it will last. However, I really do like it. I have never had an eye cream with SPF and it is a great idea. I usually would just use my normal sunscreen for the eye area. It is quite thick so you only need a little bit, gently dabbing it around the eye area. I live in Ecuador and we have really bad sun exposure here, so I was really excited to buy this product to help protect my eye area. Its great!
Rated 1 out of 5 by Helenita This product is very pasty, difficult to apply
I have used Lancôme products for over 30 years; however, I will not buy this product again. The cream is so thick that when I applied it on the sensitive eye area I had to work hard to the point where it became painful.
Rated 5 out of 5 by abfabjack The best daytime eye cream!
This is my favorite daytime eye cream! It makes my eye area bright, moisturized, and protected! I have used this eye cream for years and it's my hands down favorite. The SPF is an added bonus. You definitely want to use something without an SPF for the evening but this is perfect for the daytime under makeup or alone. This is Lancome's best line of products and I hope they never discontinue it!

In a nutshell: German Council for Sustainable Development
The German Council for Sustainable Development (RNE) is an advisory body backed by the mandate of the German Federal Government. The 15 RNE members are public figures. In June 2010, the current members were appointed by Chancellor Angela Merkel for a three-year term. The RNE was first established in April 2001 by then Chancellor Gerhard Schröder.
The Federal Government has entrusted the RNE with the following tasks:
- Developing a national sustainable development strategy
- Identifying concrete areas for action and projects
- Boosting public discussion on sustainability
Marlehn Thieme has chaired the RNE since 29 February 2012. She is a member of the Council of the Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD) and director of the CSR section at Deutsche Bank AG. Olaf Tschimpke, president of NABU (Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union), is the RNE deputy chair.
Mission Statement
Sustainable development entails treating environmental aspects on an equal footing with social and economic aspects. Making this abundantly clear is one of the Council's missions. Future-oriented management means that we have to leave future generations a globally intact ecological, social and economic system. The one cannot be achieved without the others.
The RNE seeks to make sustainable development a fundamental goal and field of action in all areas of the political sphere. It works towards citizens living a sustainable lifestyle and towards a broad public discussion on sustainability. It urges businesses and institutions to make their economic activities sustainable, to face the challenges posed by sustainability and to make use of its opportunities. The RNE seeks to broaden the discussion on sustainability within society and to make the outcomes of this more effective and more binding.
Current issues
The Council further develops the national strategy for sustainable development in Germany in critical dialogue with the Federal Government and political, economic and social stakeholders. The Council, together with representatives of enterprises and the capital markets, has developed the "German Sustainability Code", a reference for a green economy. Since October 2011, the RNE has been recommending that organisations voluntarily implement it.
"The Sustainable Shopping Basket" shopping guide is updated annually and provides interested citizens reliable guidance through the label jungle and general advice and information on sustainable consumption. The latest policy recommendations of the Council call for energy efficiency to be made binding, the stabilisation of the financial markets, agricultural reform based on the concept of sustainability and the development of a circular economy for strategic raw materials. In March 2011, the Council tested a new format for social dialogue on long-term policy with its "Dialoge_Zukunft_Vision2050" project. It is currently supporting an initiative of some 20 mayors for sustainable urban development. In 2009, the Council organised a critical analysis of German sustainability policy conducted in the form of a peer review by international experts. Both the German Bundestag and the Federal Government have used the "Sustainability: Made in Germany" review to advance sustainable development policies. In 2013, the Council is mandated by the Federal Government to organise another international peer review of German sustainability policy.
The German Council for Sustainable Development bestows the "Social Entrepreneur of Sustainability Award", extends invitations to the academic lecture series Carl-von-Carlowitz Lectures and awards the "Werkstatt N" quality label for outstanding sustainability initiatives for a year at a time.
- Political Dialogue
The Council advises – with policy recommendations and opinions – the chairman of the Committee for Sustainable Development as well as Ronald Pofalla, Minister and Head of the Federal Chancellery. Important topics are the National Sustainability Strategy, with its goals, indicators and institutions, as well as Germany's global responsibility. In addition, the Council cooperates closely with the political heads of the federal ministries, with the German parliament, and the sustainability initiatives of business and industry as well as of civil society. In the past, the Council has provided input on topics such as public procurement and consumption issues, on energy and climate protection policy, policies for research, land consumption as well as on the responsibility of private enterprise. - The Political Public
The Council has introduced an annual public conference to serve as a political sustainability summit. Formats and participation portals for general public involvement alternate with contributions from top politicians, key representatives of business and industry, and experts in the field of sustainability from civil society. The Federal Chancellor regularly presents the Federal Government's sustainability policy at the Council's annual conference. The Council is a member of the European network consisting of European Environment and Sustainable Development Councils (EEAC), the Stakeholder Forum at United Nations level and is active in many other networks. - Publications
The Council publishes policy statements, recommendations, studies and its shopping guide "The Sustainability Shopping Basket" as printed and digital brochures. Furthermore, the RNE provides information in up-to-date press releases. The publications of the Council are free and can be ordered or downloaded online at www.nachhaltigkeitsrat.de. There, one can likewise subscribe to the two-weekly RNE newsletter "News Nachhaltigkeit" (Sustainability News).
