The effects of budget cuts on climate protection: a call for sustainable building renovation

Berlin, September 10, 2024 - The desired savings in the climate and transformation fund (KTF) are a serious threat to progress in the field of sustainable building renovation. This is emphasized by experts in the real estate industry, led by Iris Schöberl, President of the Central Real Estate Committee (ZIA). The announcement on the cuts of the budget not only shows the current priorities of politics, but could also have far -reaching effects on the achievement of Germany's climate goals.

In the coming year, only 14.35 billion euros are planned for the KTF, which corresponds to a decline of almost 2.4 billion euros compared to the current year. This decision is rated as a "double wrong signal", since the requirements for climate protection and energy -efficient measures continue to increase. Schöberl calls for more solid state support to meet the strict European guidelines, such as the European Building Efficiency Directive (EPBD).

The importance of a climate -neutral real estate industry cannot be emphasized enough. A waiver of the necessary resources could endanger the realization of a decisive point for the German climate goals, the climate -neutral building sector. The ZIA makes it clear that without reliable financial support, the targeted standards for energy -efficient building renovation are difficult to implement.

The relevance of this topic extends beyond the purely economic aspect, because it also affects the quality of life in urban centers. Well-renovated buildings not only help to lower emissions, but also promote a more pleasant living and working environment. Nevertheless, politics has so far shown little determination to keep the financing at a stable level.

The talks about the household 2025 are now pending, and it is crucial that the course is set correctly in order to support the KTF sustainably. Hibbling renovation plans and unclear financial framework conditions are not sustainable in the context of climate change. Zia President Schöberl appeals to the decision-makers not to lose sight of the importance of the real estate industry for the economy and for climate protection.

In summary, it can be said that the upcoming budget cuts in the area of ​​the climate and transformation fund not only bring financial losses, but also represent an alarming development for climate protection. The real estate industry sees it as its duty to actively stand up for adequate financing and support - for the benefit of the environment and society.
