The federal government's environmental and climate policy in court: German Environmental Aid calls for improvements in the NLRP
Federal government in court over environmental protection
A new chapter in the dispute between Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH) and the federal government: today a case (case number: OVG 11 A 16/20) is being heard before the Berlin-Brandenburg Higher Administrative Court. This time it's about compliance with European guidelines for clean air.
The importance of clean air for the environment
Clean air is of great importance for human and environmental health. Air pollutants such as ammonia, builders, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides can have negative effects on the respiratory system and the climate. The federal government has adopted the National Air Pollution Control Program (NLRP) to reduce these pollutants and improve air quality.
The demands of German Environmental Aid
Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH) is concerned that the federal government's measures are not sufficient to meet the EU's emission reduction targets. She therefore calls for improvements in the National Air Pollution Control Program (NLRP). This process is part of a broader debate about environmental and climate policy in Germany.
Legal proceedings as a means of pressure for more environmental protection
The DUH's proceedings against the federal government also serve to increase pressure on the government to take more effective measures to protect the environment and the climate. At the beginning of May, the Berlin-Brandenburg Higher Administrative Court had already asked the federal government to revise its climate protection program.
Outlook for a sustainable environmental policy
The court's decision will have an impact on environmental policy in Germany and show the extent to which the federal government is able to comply with EU environmental standards. The debate about clean air and reducing emissions remains a central issue in the debate about environmental protection and sustainability.
