German Advisory Council on the Environment

Type:Special Report · date of issue 2019.08.14Democratic government within environmental limits - on the legitimation of environmental policy
(Summary)

Progressive environmental degradation is a cause for deep concern. Environmental policy thus finds itself in a dilemma: on the one hand, it has to raise its level of ambition and its effectiveness. In this report, the SRU would like to show that environmental policy can draw on strong scientific, legal, social and economic sources of legitimation.

The report also addresses the question of how existing political institutions, processes and instruments can be improved to give greater priority to vital ecological needs.
