On the Federal Government′s Climate Action Programme 2020

Die Bundesregierung hat sich dem Leitprinzip einer nachhaltigen, global- und zukunftsverantwortlichen Entwicklung verpflichtet. Entsprechend muss eine verantwortungsvolle Klimapolitik immer auf zwei Säulen stehen. Sie muss erstens dazu beitragen, dass die durchschnittliche Erderwärmung die Zwei-Grad-Marke nicht übersteigt. Sie muss zweitens aber auch Risiken erkennen und sich auf die auch bei einer gemäßigten Erderwärmung nicht vermeidbaren Folgen von Klimaveränderungen vorbereiten.

Der Bericht zieht Zwischenbilanz und stellt den Stand der Anstrengungen von Bund, Ländern und Kommunen dar.
