Overview
- The complaint, filed Monday at the Bavarian Administrative Court, was confirmed by the court with case number 22 A 26.40028.
- DUH argues the state broke its own climate law by failing to revise its climate program since 2024 and asks judges to order a stronger update.
- The Bavarian law requires a 65% per‑capita emissions cut by 2030 from 1990 levels and climate neutrality by 2040, and a 2024 report said efforts must intensify to stay on track.
- The environment ministry gave a cautious reply, saying it had not seen the full filing and noted plans to align work with the federal government’s climate push.
- DUH points to transport steps it wants considered, including a statewide speed limit, a truck toll, and shifting freight to rail, which could affect driving and shipping if the court compels changes.
