Rheinland-Pfalz Introduces New Climate Protection Goals

The proposed law targets climate neutrality by 2040, focusing on renewable energy expansion without imposing restrictions on businesses.

Rheinland-Pfalz's new climate protection law aims to make the regional government climate neutral by 2040.
The legislation prioritizes renewable energy, with a goal of producing 100% of the state's electricity consumption locally by 2030.
The law includes mechanisms for monitoring progress, such as a climate strategy, a measures register, and project oversight.
The proposed regulations apply only to the state government and do not impose direct obligations on businesses or the private sector.
The draft law will undergo review by various stakeholders before being debated in the state parliament next year.
