Environmental Economist Sebastian Tonke Awarded 2026 Joachim Herz Prize worth €500,000
Prof. Dr. Sebastian Tonke, an environmental economist based in Munich, has been awarded the 2026 Joachim Herz Prize, one of Germany's most valuable scientific awards, recognizing his groundbreaking research on sustainable drinking water use. The award ceremony took place on August 27, 2026, in Hamburg. Tonke will receive €500,000 for his project aimed at developing effective incentives to reduce water consumption amidst growing concerns about water scarcity due to climate change. In his study, Tonke is integrating digital water meters with a smartphone app, allowing households to monitor their drinking water usage in real time. His research will analyze which strategies effectively encourage families to conserve water, with the goal of assisting water utilities and policymakers in formulating better conservation measures. As stated by the Federal Statistical Office, a significant portion of Germany's drinking water—around 80%—is consumed by private households and small businesses. This highlights the urgency of addressing water conservation, particularly as droughts and regional shortages become more prevalent. Over the past 25 years, Germany has lost 60 km³ of water, equivalent to twenty times the volume of Lake Starnberg, according to Federal Environment Minister Carsten Schneider. Tonke's project, named WETTER (Water Efficiency through Technology, Targeting, and Experimental Research), aims to equip 4,000 households with digital water meters to gather data on water usage behavior and assess the effectiveness of various conservation incentives. These insights could potentially be applied to the management of other resources, such as energy. About the Joachim Herz Prize The Joachim Herz Foundation honours outstanding researchers whose interdisciplinary work helps shape a more sustainable future. Endowed with € 500,000, the Joachim Herz Prize supports innovative projects by early-career researchers seeking to deepen their research or translate scientific insights into practical applications. The Joachim Herz Prize is among the most highly endowed research awards in Germany. Find out more about on the Joachim Herz Foundation website. About Sebastian Tonke Prof. Dr. Sebastian Tonke is a professor of environmental economics at the TUM School of Life Sciences and the TUM School of Management. His research lies at the intersection of environmental and behavioral economics. He studies the motives underlying economic behavior and tests their policy implications to address environmental challenges —particularly in the sustainable management of water and waste. In large-scale studies, he examines how various measures work, what their weaknesses are, and whether they influence one another. Tonke completed his Ph.D. in economics at the University of Cologne in 2019. From 2019 to 2026, he worked as a senior research fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Behavioral Economics in Bonn. He was a visiting research fellow at Harvard University in spring 2024. Find out more about Sebastian Tonke on his TU Munich profile page. Full press release: joachim-herz-stiftung.de
Environmental economist Prof. Dr. Sebastian Tonke from the Technical University of Munich has been awarded the prestigious Joachim Herz Prize for his innovative research project on sustainable drinking water use.

This is a 3-day course run by Melbourne Health Economics within the Centre for Health Policy at the University of Melbourne. It aims to provide participants with a solid grounding in the theoretical and empirical dimensions of health inequality measurement. By the end of the course, participants will be able to: -Understand and apply core concepts in health inequality measurement, including relative and absolute measures, and rank- and level-dependent approaches -Measure and interpret health poverty using established methodological frameworks -Design and conduct health inequality analyses in practice, including defining research questions, sourcing data, and addressing measurement challenges related to socio-economic status -Distinguish between avoidable and unavoidable health inequalities and apply advanced measurement techniques to real-world evidence -Critically evaluate and report health inequality studies in line with current empirical standards Who is this course designed for? This course is designed for those who are working in or alongside the health sector, including researchers, policy analysts, public health professionals, health economists, and postgraduate students, who wish to deepen their understanding of health inequality measurement. It is particularly suited to those looking to build practical skills in applying theoretical frameworks to real-world data and research contexts. Course Outline The course will involve a series of two modules that build on each other to provide an overview of the steps required for understanding, measuring, and analysing inequality in health and health care. Module 1: Understanding Health Inequality: Concepts, Measurement and Health Poverty An introduction to the core concepts underpinning health inequality measurement, covering relative and absolute measures, rank- and level-dependent inequality indices, methods for measuring health poverty, and decomposition approaches to understanding the drivers of health inequalities. Module 2: From Theory to Practice: Measuring Health Inequality in Real-World Settings A practical exploration of health inequality analysis, including types of inequality comparisons across cross-sections and over time, defining research questions and identifying appropriate data sources, and addressing common challenges in estimating and reporting health inequality studies. Module 3: Fairness, Equity and the Boundaries of Avoidable Health Inequality An advanced module examining the distinction between avoidable and unavoidable health inequality, with a focus on theoretical considerations, measurement frameworks, fairness and socio-economic inequality in health, and the application of these concepts to real-world empirical examples.
