Translation “Laws for Sustainability”

Six years after the adoption of the 2030 Agenda with its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the implementation of the SDGs in Germany continues to face major obstacles. The core problem of the 2030 Agenda is its nonbinding nature. Along with the Decade of Action proclaimed by the UN Secretary General for the next ten years, we need a Decade of Commitment as well. This publication therefore presents proposals for laws that the German parliament can pass in the 20th legislative period. Our proposals are both an offer and a checklist in terms of how ambitious the German parliament and the government are. We will no longer accept inactivity and a lack of accountability in the SDG Decade of Action.Read More
