Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH) has sued the federal government for compliance with the climate targets in the energy, industry, buildings and agriculture sectors.
From the point of view of the environmental activists, the measures planned so far are not sufficient to comply with the maximum levels of climate-damaging greenhouse gases in the individual areas.
The aim of the lawsuit is to oblige the federal government to launch an effective program that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55 percent by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. That has not happened so far.

A total 10-year fishing ban now applies in the pivotal waters of the Yangtze, China's longest river, starting on Friday, according to the central government strategy.
Urbanization and shipping along the Yangtze River have resulted in the decrease or loss of marine ecosystems for decades. According to an expert, synthetic fertilizers and pesticides have also contributed to the river's contamination.
Also situated in the middle reaches of the river, Hunan Province closed and demolished all 39 illegal wharves along the mainstream Yangtze River while restoring the ecological ecosystem there. About 1,300 hectares of forest have also been planted by the province along the river.

Cutting down trees has been destroying large areas in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest for years. But researchers show another, equally damaging, but often overlooked problem: from 1992 to 2014, more areas were reused than cleared.
Cutting down trees has been destroying large areas in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest for years. But researchers show another, equally damaging, but often overlooked problem: from 1992 to 2014, more areas were reused than cleared.
During this period, this conversion alone - for example the felling of individual tree species or the burning of vegetation under the canopy - has lost an area almost the size of Germany,
write researchers working with Eraldo Matricardi from the University of Brasília in the magazine "Science". While deforestation means the complete conversion of the rainforest into another type of land - above all pastureland -

According to the initiators, more than 35,000 volunteers have freed the banks of the rivers Rhine, Moselle and Ruhr from 320 tons of garbage. The specialty this year: The helpers found numerous masks.
The Rhine was cleaned for the third time during the great "cleanup" - again from the source in Switzerland to the mouth near Rotterdam. A total of 300 groups took part. In each of the Rhine metropolises of Düsseldorf and Cologne,
more than 2,000 people took part in the campaign. "These people have understood: this is not their rubbish, but it is our planet," said initiator Joachim Umbach. Umbach is hoping for a change in awareness: Garbage does not belong in nature.
