The recent floods in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, which claimed five lives and displaced thousands, serve as a stark reminder of the escalating climate crisis. Towns like Ebenhausen-Werk, Manching-Pichl, and Reichertshofen have been particularly devastated, with homes destroyed and infrastructures crippled
Despite acknowledging the severity of these events and the clear link to climate change, your administration’s response has been disappointingly inadequate. While visiting affected areas, you rightly noted that such floods are no longer rare, one-off incidents. Yet, your actions have not matched these words. The need for robust flood defenses and effective climate mitigation strategies has never been more critical
Germany’s climate policies, particularly concerning emissions reduction, are falling short. The recent expert panel’s findings that the government’s 2030 emissions targets are unrealistic underscore a significant policy gap. This failure to implement concrete measures leaves communities vulnerable to recurring disasters
As Chancellor, you must lead by example. Strengthen Germany’s climate action plans, enforce stricter regulations on emissions, and invest in resilient infrastructure. The people of Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, and all of Germany cannot afford complacency. The time for decisive action is now, to prevent further loss and safeguard our future.

@rosebellendiritu I agree with you , action must be optimised and at the same time better mechanisms put in place to avoid this in the future.
