UmweltPERSPEKTIVEN: Internal editorial change
After - believe it or not - 15 issues, Karin Weinmann is saying goodbye to the UmweltPERSPEKTIVEN editorial team. Michael Merz is now the new man for environmental topics at galledia verlag ag.

Dear readers,
Before I get to the editorial change, please allow me to weave in a few thoughts: Since measurements began (1864), the average temperature in Switzerland has risen by 2 degrees Celsius, underlines the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) in a preview on "Natural Resources in Switzerland".
The consequences of global warming are becoming increasingly apparent even in our latitudes:
New kinds of insects in our cities, melting of glaciers, heat waves and dry periods as well as decreasing stability of permafrost are some signs of this development. Therefore, global guidelines, clean technologies and sustainable processes are becoming increasingly important.
Personal perspectives
As a journalist, it is important to me not only to address contemporary issues, but also to consider social and sustainable projects.
After - believe it or not - 15 issues, Karin Weinmann is saying goodbye to galledia verlag ag to devote herself to scientific disciplines. I am now the new man for environmental topics. I have been designing and producing leisure and consumer magazines for over two decades.
Previously, I worked cross-media in various publishing houses. For the past 4.5 years, I have been writing texts for galledia verlag ag as a specialist editor in the areas of security, safety, risk, information and corporate management. Now I am looking forward to producing profound issues for you at the side of an experienced specialist publisher.
Michael Merz
