the federal government and the Länder on peatland protection and a strategy to preserve peatlands (organic soils) will be developed and implemented to that end. In addition to effective greenhouse gas reduction, the planning process must take into account aspects of nature conservation and the ability to implement measures in a way that is compatible with the needs of society and the economy. A grassland strategy is also being developed and will soon be implemented. CLIMATE ACTION PLAN 2050 / CABINET RESOLUTION → We aim to increase the amount of forested land in Germany. New forests primarily made up of native tree species will be planted wherever it is suitable and sustainably managed in a near-natural way. Offsetting and compensatory measures following the clearance of forests, for example in connection with infrastructure projects, must include reforestation of an area that is at least equal to the size of the cleared area.
