Government Air Quality Program 2019: Environmental campaign group complains in court in Berlin

Environmental protection organization is suing the government due to air quality

The environmental protection organization Germany e.V. filed a lawsuit against the federal government on Monday. The reason for this is concerns about air quality in German cities, especially in Berlin. Despite the government's efforts to integrate current data into the air quality program, the environmental protection organization calls for additional measures to reduce air pollution.

The update of the Federal Government's air quality program 2019 is criticized by the environmental protection organization as inadequate. It is argued that measures such as the building energy law and the Euro 7 emissions standard urgently need to be taken into account in order to improve the air quality.

In a statement, the environmental protection organization emphasized the importance of compliance with EU guidelines for air pollution control. In cities like Berlin in particular, it is crucial to prioritize environmental policy measures and to develop effective strategies to combat air pollution.

The ongoing legal dispute between the environmental protection organization and the federal government illustrates the urgency of careful political planning in the field of air quality and emission standards. It is emphasized that sustainable progress in environmental protection can only be made through joint efforts by the government and civil society.
