Ministry of Home Affairs, Economic Affairs and Environment

Environment

In the environmental field, the Ministry is committed in particular to the sparing use of natural resources as well as the preservation and improvement of habitats and biodiversity. The environment needs to be safeguarded as the basis of life for future generations, making environmental protection a central task of the state. In addition to classic national environmental protection, however, regional and international agreements are also becoming increasingly important, as environmental impacts do not stop at national borders and consequently require a cross-border approach.
