Dresden (AP) - Saxony's Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer warned against too quick decisions after the climate ruling by the Federal Constitutional Court.
“One thing is clear: Germany should do what it can, but so should the other countries.
Effective climate protection can only succeed if everyone participates, ”said the CDU politician on Monday.
This requires reliable framework conditions and a broad social consensus, "without excessive demands on individuals, without paternalism and prohibitions," said Kretschmer.
Thoroughness has to come before speed.
«We have to think very carefully about how to proceed effectively.
It would be wrong to go into a climate lockdown after the corona lockdown. "
Last week, the Federal Constitutional Court obliged the legislature to regulate the reduction targets for greenhouse gas emissions for the period after 2030 in more detail by the end of next year.
It is about the Climate Protection Act, which has so far stipulated the annual emission quantities permitted for the years up to 2030 for areas such as the energy sector, industry, transport and agriculture.
Federal Environment Minister Svenja Schulze (SPD) had announced that she would present a draft for the revised climate protection law at the end of the week.
According to Saxony's head of government, innovations, research and new technologies are decisive on the way to more climate protection.
At the same time, Kretschmer spoke out in favor of a technology-open perspective as well as market-controlled CO2 prices and an acceleration in international coordination.
