In Germany, sustainability has long been viewed through the lens of environmental protection, a movement with only limited overlaps to the older feminist movement. In this section, we provide cursory overviews of both policy fields and its main actors, and establish that the two fields do not currently intersect beyond insular points. First, actors, or policy entrepreneurs, are sorted into “government and legislative” on the one hand, and “civil society" and think tanks on the other hand to provide a clear layout, but this distinction is far from airtight.
