Berlin’s ‘Schneller-Bauen-Gesetz’ Receives Negative Award for Environmental Impact
Berlin’s ‘Schneller-Bauen-Gesetz’ has been awarded the ‘Dinosaurier des Jahres 2024’ by NABU for exacerbating the housing crisis while neglecting climate protection. NABU President Jörg-Andreas Krüger argues that the law undermines essential regulations for conservation and environmental quality. He highlights that the poor are particularly affected by increasing heat in urban areas, urging for sustainable housing solutions instead of sacrificing green spaces. The NABU calls for better utilization of already sealed areas to address the housing shortage without harming biodiversity.
