The German government is challenging a climate ruling from last year. At the end of November, the Higher Administrative Court of Berlin-Brandenburg ruled that the government must implement new immediate measures for climate action in the areas of transportation and buildings. The lawsuits were filed by the German Environmental Aid (DUH) and the Federation for Environment and Nature Conservation Germany (BUND). The DUH criticized the appeal as „irresponsible and scandalous behavior“, accusing the government of shirking its duty.
