BUND, a major environmental organization, has filed a lawsuit against the German government, claiming that it has not taken adequate steps to limit greenhouse gas emissions in the building and transportation sectors.

The Director of the organization, Olaf Bandt said in a statement on Tuesday that “We can no longer stand by and watch as parts of the federal government ignore their own climate protection goals, and refuse effective measures for transport and buildings.”

In response to the federal government’s alleged failure to uphold the Climate Protection Act, he said the association has filed a case against it in the Berlin-Brandenburg Higher Administrative Court.

“A political decision is needed now to create effective measures for climate protection. If Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s government is not politically able or willing to do so, it must be legally obliged to do so,” Bandt added.

According to Germany’s Climate Protection Act, industries that emit more than the allowed annual limits must implement emergency programs.

The government, according to the group, has not made the essential decisions despite the excessive emissions in the building and transportation sectors during the last few years.
