<!-- Abstract -->
To date, economic geographers have addressed ecological problems
        only very hesitatingly despite the fact that an &#8220;ecologically modernised&#8221;
        economic geography could offer a double chance to the entire discipline.
        First, because there is a good opportunity to add new value to older,
        established approaches within the discipline. Second, because there is
        considerable demand for applied environmental knowledge in politics, economy
        and society. In our paper we will discuss several new approaches and concepts
        from within and from outside (economic) geography in order to present
        a conceptual framework for further research. In particular, we try to
        outline research topics and questions regarding different but fundamentally
        inter-connected spatial scales, namely at the macro level (national and
        international regulation, environmental governance), at the meso level
        (environmental protection in regional context) and at the micro level
        (environmental performance of firms).
