SRU Open Letter on the Climate Cabinet

Closing the implementation and ambition gap

Prior to the decisive meeting on 20 September 2019, the SRU addressed an open letter to the members of the Climate Cabinet. The SRU emphasises that the measures to be adopted must be suitable for achieving the 2030 climate target. Especially in the Transport and building sector there is an enormous need for action. The Council also recommends raising Germany's climate targets. In future, German climate policy should be evaluated on the basis of a national climate budget.
