DThe Green Party hopes in the future Federal government Quickly formulate a comprehensive and far-reaching climate plan. This provides the party’s “immediate plan” proposed on Tuesday. In order to implement changes quickly, the next federal government will immediately set up a cabinet committee, which will meet once a week, chaired by the “Ministry of Climate Protection”, and initiate far-reaching changes within three months.
“We will decide on the largest climate protection plan in history,” the Green Party promised. According to Green’s idea, the Ministry of Climate Protection should become one of the most powerful agencies of the future government, because it should have veto power over all laws that are incompatible with the Paris International Climate Agreement. This may affect road construction projects as well as military projects or funding plans for “classic” industries.The party leader put forward a plan for the “direct plan of the next federal government” Annalena Balbok With Robert Harbeck in a nature reserve near Berlin on Monday. Then they wanted to take a short swamp hike in the Bicental Basin.
The 10-point plan initially provided for the rapid expansion of renewable energy-wind and solar systems. They said that the current rate of expansion is too slow. Therefore, the expansion target will be tripled. Public buildings should have “solar energy obligations”, and they should provide 2% of the land area for wind energy projects in accordance with the law, and speed up the approval process.Exit at the same time Habek Belbok launched an “extensive bird and bat protection plan” at a press conference. Offshore wind farms in the Baltic and North Seas will also be expanded on a large scale. In addition to business and military, partners there also include fisheries. On the other hand, there is no talk about tourism and cruises. The Green Party hopes to advance the expansion of the electric transportation network planned to 2035 to 2030.
Unlike previously agreed, this goal will also apply to Coal export Targeted. In addition, the price of carbon dioxide will immediately increase to 60 Euros per ton. It is forbidden to mine coal in villages and install heating oil systems in houses. According to the plan of the Green Immediate Plan, the cost of rising carbon dioxide prices will be passed on to homeowners. Since the economy is the largest consumer of carbon dioxide, the Green Party hopes to pave the way for more climate protection through a combination of subsidies and penalties. Among other things, the corresponding investment plan is subject to high tax depreciation of at least 25%.
In order to promote climate protection, the Green Party also plans to reform the company’s car regulations, which strongly support electric vehicles. The expansion of charging stations will be accelerated through the “master plan”. Drivers must be prepared for less road construction, higher parking fees, and a speed limit of 130 on highways. According to the plan, this saved “approximately 2 million tons of carbon dioxide, which is equivalent to all air traffic in Germany. green It also hopes to shift the 2.5 billion euros in the federal budget from road construction to railway construction. There are also plans to speed up planning.
Subsidies for commuters and homeowners
In order to generate more non-fossil energy, the Green Party also wants to vigorously promote the production of “green” hydrogen and eliminate “regulatory difficulties.” The goal is to quickly double power generation from 5 GW to 10 GW. The necessary infrastructure for the supply of hydrogen to industry will be pre-funded by the green participating federal government.
According to Habeck and Baerbock, the direct change also occurred in agriculture arrive. The reduction of animals in stables, the promotion and intensification of organic agriculture “suggestions” are changing agriculture. The Green Party is paying close attention to the social consequences of these and other measures. Therefore, in their near-term plan, they propose to increase the minimum wage to 12 euros to fund climate protection costs. Homeowners or professional commuters should be provided with funding plans to make their houses and cars climate-friendly.
The Green Party envisioned not only a radical change in the distribution of power between departments, but also the transformation of the federal budget into a “climate budget.” At the beginning of the legislation, an “investment offensive” of up to 15 billion euros was to fund additional investments in climate protection. At the same time, “climate damage subsidies” worth about 10 billion euros will be cancelled. There is no clear description in the direct procedure.
In addition to national efforts, the Green Party also hopes to promote climate protection in Europe when participating in government activities, and advocate for more climate protection in the planned Glasgow Climate Conference and the transatlantic partnership with the United States.
