Overview
- Bavaria’s state cabinet, which voted Tuesday in Munich, moved the climate neutrality goal from 2040 to 2045.
- The draft law adopts the federal deadline and ends the state’s separate, stricter target.
- A new clause sets a rule that emissions per resident must stay below the German average.
- Environment Minister Thorsten Glauber said syncing with the federal goal is right and called the new date “very close to honesty.”
- The change still needs hearings with relevant associations and a vote in the Bavarian Landtag before it can take effect.
