Since 2002, the forest area in Germany has increased by about 50,000 hectares.
On the occasion of the International Forest Day on 21 March 2019, the Federal Minister of Food and Agriculture, Julia Klöckner, went to see the situation on site.
"The storm damage in winter, in summer, then the prolonged drought, plus the bark beetle infestation - last year was a disaster year for our forests, the damage is worrying. In 2018, more than 30 million cubic metres of damaged wood accrued. This is the fourth most severe damage event in German forestry in the past 30 years," the Minister said. "The continuing, serious bark beetle infestation will also lead to the death of more forest areas, and the exact extent of the damage caused will in some cases only be foreseeable in a few years' time.
Protecting the forest as much as possible is important. Because our forest fulfils a number of crucial tasks. It is a protector of the climate, a supplier of wood, a preserver of biodiversity and a place of recreation for citizens. For this reason, the BMEL will continue to work with the Länder to ensure that sufficient aid is available for clearing and reforesting damaged areas.

"Cars have no place in cities"
Hermann Knoflacher with Vladimir Balzer and Axel Rahmlow
Hermann Knoflacher wants roads and car parks to be built on. Car-free cities are feasible, says the transport expert. This would allow local authorities to create masses of affordable living space. But will they go for it?
Affordable housing in cities is becoming increasingly hard to find. Many feel pushed to the margins. Politicians want to take countermeasures, but have very different mechanisms depending on the country and the municipality.

The Ministry of the Environment in Rhineland-Palatinate has launched the funding programme "1,000 efficient stoves for Rhineland-Palatinate". Within the framework of this programme, the replacement of old fireplaces with modern wood-burning systems is financially supported if they were approved between 1 January 1985 and 1 January 1995. The subsidy amounts to up to 800 €. The subsidy programme is intended to help accelerate the dismantling of old appliances in accordance with the 2nd stage of the 1st BImSchV and to further improve air quality. A total of 500,000 euros is available. This measure covers all old single-room furnaces such as wood-burning stoves, heating and tiled stove inserts from the above-mentioned period that are fired with solid fuels such as logs, wood or lignite briquettes. In addition, the replacement of old oil stoves is also promoted if they are replaced by a modern wood-burning stove.
