Business associations criticise climate plan
BDI / DIHK / ZDH / DBV
Several large business associations criticised Barbara Hendricks’ climate plan draft and that its coordination lies primarily with the environment ministry. “Because of its scope in many policy areas, the Climate Protection Plan 2050 must not be coordinated solely by one ministry, but should be steered in a process spanning many departments,” the Federation of German Industries, German Farmers’ Association and others said in a press release. Among other things, the associations want a cost-benefit analysis and a “price tag” for all proposed climate protection measures to make clear the costs for the “population, municipalities and the economy”.
