The German government has put back plans to set up a commission tasked with negotiating possible measures for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the building sector, the news 聽agency dpa reports in an article carried by Handelsblatt. Germany鈥檚 interior ministry (BMI), which is in charge of construction policy and the building sector, would 鈥渘either confirm nor deny the report鈥� upon request by 威力彩玩法. According to dpa, the government said it would not appoint the commission consisting of external experts as it had 鈥渆nough experts to deal with this issue on its own.鈥�

Andreas Mattner, head of the German real estate federation ZIA, harshly criticised the decision. 鈥淚f there is no buildings commission, this would mean that no experts from the industry are present in the negotiations,鈥� Mattner said in a , adding that this would only add to the uncertainty of everyone involved. 鈥淚f we want to meet the climate targets in the buildings sector, we need useful measures that industry can cope with. This can only happen through dialogue,鈥� he said. 鈥淭his is not responsible policymaking,鈥� Mattner added. The deputy managing director at the powerful industry association BDI, Holger L枚sch, was quoted by climate news site as saying that the government still had the responsibility to come up with a plan for a much faster renovation of buildings if it took its own climate targets seriously.

The government had initially planned to set up the commission alongside similar bodies in charge of developing proposals for an exit from coal-fired power generation and for climate-friendly mobility in order to meet the country's 2030 climate goals. Experts have long warned that Germany needs to renovate its building stock much faster than it currently does to run a chance of cutting energy use for heating.
