Motto: Floor – You stand on it
This year, the Environmental Festival focuses on the world beneath our feet. Under the motto "Soil – You Stand on It," it puts soil in the spotlight, showcasing its versatility and indispensability: as a climate protector, habitat, foundation of food, energy source, and filter for water and pollutants.

The Environmental Festival at the Brandenburg Gate explores how soils can be protected, enhanced, remediated, or de-sealed – and what humans, animals, and plants need from healthy soil.
Associations, initiatives, companies, government agencies, manufacturers, and restaurateurs present their projects, products, services, and ideas related to environmental, nature, and climate protection along the Environmental Festival's interactive mile. They offer creative, informative, and interactive presentations that invite visitors to discover, participate, and exchange ideas.

- Where: Straße des 17. Juni, at the Brandenburg Gate, Berlin
- Motto: ‘Soil – you stand on it!’
