For a sustainable future: BUND demands sharper resource protection law

resource protection and sustainability: a call for reversal

Berlin (ots)

The increasing waste of resources has far -reaching effects on our environment and is particularly evident on the global overlap day, which was already in summer this year. On this day, people used more natural resources than our planet can reproduce in one year. This can be observed, especially in industrialized nations such as Germany, where resource consumption goes far beyond the sustainable limits.

The urgency of a resource protection law

The BUND for the Environment and Nature Conservation Germany (BUND) has urged the Federal Government to adopt a resource protection law. Olaf Bandt, the chairman of the federal government, emphasized the need for a legal framework to create clear responsibilities and to offer incentives for sustainable management. Without such a law, the international law climate goals, such as the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, remain seriously at risk.

circular economy in Germany

A central approach to reducing resource consumption is the development of an ambitious circular economy. This goes beyond simple recycling and promotes long -term usability of products. The federal government emphasizes that system changes and rethink are necessary to consume fewer resources and at the same time increase the quality of life. For example, reusable systems in the packaging sector should be established across the board by 2045, which not only avoids waste, but also creates new jobs.

The role of industry and our responsibility

The federal government has emphasized the serious responsibility of the chemical industry and mining for nature destruction and species death. Sustainable handling of resources is necessary to limit the ecological consequences of the current management. It is particularly frightening that every German lives on average on a resource consumption of three earths, which is partly due to the high demand from industry.

The way to a resource -saving future

In the long term, the economic framework must change. The federal government considers a resource protection law essential in order to achieve a significant reduction in primary resource consumption. By 2050, the consumption of non -living primary raw materials should be reduced to about a tenth. In order to achieve this goal, concrete measures and binding goals are essential.

conclusion

The current developments illustrate that we urgently need a fundamental change in the way we deal with our resources. An increased focus on resource protection, circular economy and sustainable practices is essential to cope with the ecological challenges of the present. The federal government calls on the federal government to immediately issue the necessary laws in order to secure a resource -saving and sustainable future for future generations.
