Flagship Reports
WBGU´s flagship reports provide in-depth scientific explorations of the overarching themes of global change and make recommendations for action and research. Comprising 200–400 pages, they are published in the "World in Transition" series. The federal government generally responds to these reports, and distributes them as official papers to the members of the German federal parliament (Bundestag) and council (Bundesrat).
