See how GES solutions can be implemented: Conserving Water in the Dead Sea
Jordan's tourism industry faces a major dilemma. Ground water levels in the Jordan River basin are dropping with more water removed than flows in. Now, Jordan, together with the German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ) and Hangsrohe SE, has launched a pilot project to tackle the water crunch. The project could help save one-third of the country's precious drinking water supplies.

Solvency-convertible debt could stabilize Slovenian banks
Slovenia has rejected suggestions that it may be the next country in the eurozone to apply for ESM aid. The Slovenian government plans to recapitalize struggling banks and implement a series of austerity measures in order to avoid a financial bailout. GES-experts suggest to stabilize shaky banks by issuing solvency-convertible debt. That way, the debt issued by systemically relevant financial institutions is automatically converted into equity if such an institution becomes insolvent – and taxpayers don’t have to come up for the costs of excessive risk-taking.

45-Million-Dollar bank heist: Active targeting of cyber crime needed
In a massive 21st century bank heist, hackers used stolen debit card data from different banks to steal more than $45 million from ATMs around the world within a few hours. For GES-experts, active targeting of the proceeds of cyber crime in collaboration with the financial sector is necessary. Also, prosecutors need to focus on underground forums to disrupt the circulation of powerful and easy to use cyber criminal tools, such as malware kits and botnets.
