Preparation of the Hesse monitoring and projection report

The monitoring and projection reports on the climate targets of the Hessian Climate Act (HKlimaG) are prepared as part of this project.

According to the HKlimaG, the federal state is obliged to publish such a report every five years. This report sets out the extent to which the statutory climate targets are being met.

Quantitative and qualitative surveys must be carried out for this purpose.

The content of the report is also specified in the Act (Section 9 HKLimaG) and include s the following steps:

1. Development and projection of GHG emissions in Hesse and their impact on the achievement of climate protection targets. This is done on the basis of the Hessian GHG balance sheet, which is compiled annually by the Hessian State Statistical Office

2. Proposals for the further development of climate protection measures for the Hessian Climate Plan

3. Monitoring the implementation of existing measures.
