Environmental action against the federal government: Court negotiates air quality in Germany
The discussion about clean air in Germany is picking up speed because the Higher Administrative Court of Berlin-Brandenburg is negotiating an environmental lawsuit against the federal government. The German Environmental Aid (DUH) has filed a lawsuit to ensure that European guidelines are observed.
The court checks the national government's national air resistance program, which aims to reduce the emissions of air pollutants in Germany. The focus is on pollutants such as ammonia, fine dust, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide.
The DUH argues that the measures of the program are not sufficient to achieve the EU reduction targets. It demands urgent improvements to improve air quality in Germany and protect the environment.
After the hearing, the court will decide whether the Federal Government measures meet the requirements for clean air. A decision is expected on the day of the negotiation or at a later date.
