Demands of German environmental associations on the European Green Deal

In December 2019, the European Commission presented the EU Green Deal (EGD). Under Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, various initiatives for a climate-neutral European Union were announced. German environmental associations are taking a joint stance on this. Under the leadership of the German Nature Conservation Ring (DNR), the various environmental associations formulate their demands.
