‘Climate check’ to examine l • Table.Briefings

In the future, the Transport Infrastructure Plan could also be given a CO2 label; Here, we see the expansion of the A3 near Erlangen, and the construction of a new bridge over the Aurach.

The governing coalition has promised to introduce a „climate check“ for new laws to assess new regulations for their contribution to global warming. The first plans for what such a procedure could look like are now becoming known.

The Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Protection (BMWK) is working on a „climate check“ to examine the climate impact of all new federal laws. According to the current plans of a working group, laws are to be examined for their climate impact by the responsible ministries and external experts while they are still being drafted. The debate is intended to help meet the German government’s climate targets. This is according to documents obtained by the „Frag den Staat“ initiative from the ministry and available to Table.Briefings.
