Urge for Instant Initiative to Meet Climate Targets Issued by Organizations
Baden-Württemberg, a state in Germany, has set a ambitious target of becoming climate-neutral by 2040. However, experts have expressed doubts about the achievability of this goal, as the state is predicted to miss its 2030 intermediate climate goal.
According to reports, the state government's expert council had demanded an immediate program from the state government back in the fall, but no such program has been presented yet. The call for action has been echoed in an open letter signed by various organisations, including BUND Baden-Württemberg, the Baden-Württemberg agricultural association, Verdi trade union, Fridays for Future activists, and several other climate-focused organisations whose specific names are not detailed in the provided search results.
The open letter urges the state government of Baden-Württemberg to implement an immediate program to achieve climate goals. The state is currently predicted to achieve only a 53% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2030, compared to the target of 65%.
The Climate Protection Act in Baden-Württemberg allows for additional measures if a "pending significant deviation from the target" is determined. However, no such measures have been presented yet. This has raised concerns among the signatories of the open letter, who fear that the state's climate targets may remain out of reach if immediate action is not taken.
In the summer of last year, the various environmental and climate-focused organisations sent an open letter to Minister-President Winfried Kretschmann, the ministries, and the Green and CDU factions in the Baden-Württemberg state parliament, urging the state government to immediately implement a program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in various sectors.
As the clock ticks, the pressure on the Baden-Württemberg state government to act on climate change continues to mount. The state's climate future hangs in the balance, and the need for immediate action to meet climate targets is more urgent than ever.
