economic restructuring: German environmental aid calls courage to change

Berlin has experienced an intensive discourse on climate protection in recent months. The focus is on the demand for German environmental aid (DUH) to drastically reduce climate -damaging subsidies. A step that is not only ecologically, but also economically of great importance.

The DUH, represented by its managing director Jürgen Resch and Barbara Metz, emphasizes that the continuation of the current subsidy system is not only harmful to the environment, but also financial policy. Resch emphasizes that the abolition of privileges such as diesel and company cars could reduce enormous CO2 emissions: "Almost 34 million tons of CO2 could be saved by 2030. In addition, more than 15 billion euros could also flow into the state treasury annually, which would enable sustainable financing of initiatives such as the Germany ticket." The focus must be on sustainable mobility for everyone instead of supporting climate -damaging advantages for a small group.

The current subsidies accept enormous proportions. A report that has just been published shows that the state -funded emissions of 156 million tons of CO2 will be associated with a volume of 35.8 billion euros annually. These numbers illustrate the urgency of a rethink in the federal budget.

Another critical point that Metz appeals is to reduce funding for efficient buildings by 2.4 billion euros. "The renovation rate continues to drop while investing in new climate -damaging new buildings," she criticizes. In her opinion, the government should provide at least 25 billion euros for the promotion of energy -efficient buildings and initiate a social reform in building funding. This is the only way to master the challenges of the housing crisis and energy poverty in Germany.

This discussion is not only important for environmental activists, but also has profound effects on the community and the economy as a whole. A switch to sustainable practices could improve the quality of life of the citizens and at the same time create jobs in the areas of energy efficiency and sustainable construction. The dialogue about the restructuring of subsidies could also offer an incentive for innovations in green technologies and thus ensure long -term economic successes.

In summary, it can be said that a departure from climate -damaging subsidies not only benefits the environment, but also shows significant economic opportunities. Deutsche Environmental Aid therefore calls for a policy that raises climate protection at a priority and at the same time keeps an eye on the social aspects in order to shape a fair and sustainable future.
