As Germany is debating the introduction of a national climate law, it can build on the experiences that already exist at many levels. Several fellow EU Member States have already adopted such framework laws, for example, to help them manage the achievement of their climate targets. Furthermore, Ursula von der Leyen, who will start as head of the European Commission on 1 November 2019 has announced that she proposes a climate law for the EU within her first 100 days in office.

It draws on the background information of several related publications produced by Ecologic Institute. The podcast is available in German only.
