Andreas Kraus has taken up his new role as the State Secretary for Climate Protection and Environment in Berlin, stationed at the Senate Department for Mobility, Transport, Climate Protection and Environment. His appointment, effective from September 1, 2023, marks a new chapter in the department's efforts towards climate protection and environmental conservation.

Andreas Kraus replaces Britta Behrendt, who previously held the position.

Senator Ute Bonde, who Kraus will report directly to, expressed her confidence in the new State Secretary.

Britta Behrendt, the former State Secretary, has played a crucial role in the department's previous efforts. Her contributions will not be forgotten, and she leaves behind a strong foundation for Kraus to build upon. "I would like to thank Britta Behrendt for her dedicated service to our department and our city," Bonde added. "Her leadership and commitment have been instrumental in our progress so far, and we wish her all the best in her future endeavors."

With his extensive experience and commitment to the cause, Kraus is well-positioned to make a significant impact in the fight against climate change and for the protection of our environment.
