Abschlussbericht Green Budgeting Haushaltspolitik als Instrument der Umweltlenkung

Summary

Germany faces a challenge in systematically integrating environmental and climate policy objectives into its budgetary policy, as ecological aspects currently lack equal consideration compared to traditional fiscal goals. The proposed approach involves implementing "Green Budgeting" to systematically record environmental impacts and use them as a basis for budgetary decisions. The report, published in April 2026, is a final analysis recommending a staged implementation process, initially as a transparency instrument and later as a steering instrument, indicating that the full integration is currently planned.
