Climate protection & sustainability

Our expertise

The public sector is confronted with completely new challenges as it is being asked to consider environmental and climate protection aspects across all fields of action and at all administrative levels. This is not simply an obligation imposed upon it by constitutional law, but citizens increasingly insist on greater compliance with climate protection rules. The climate protection and sustainability law constitutes a complex cross section combining various areas of public and private law. Due to the special dynamics of many challenges and issues, it is particularly difficult for municipalities to act in a consistent and solution-orientated manner.
