This study develops a proposal for a comprehensive revision of the German Federal Soil Protection Act (Bundes-Bodenschutzgesetz, BBodSchG) and presents a fully drafted legislative text.

In this project, Ecologic Institute, Öko-Institut and Schnittstelle Boden develop legal options for revising the German Federal Soil Act and draft potential corresponding amendments. This is one of the objectives in the German Government's 2021 Coalition Agreement and the research is funded by the German Environment Agency.
