Nature and Surroundings Rewording: Natural World and Surrounding Areas - One World State Network calls for the passage of MV's climate protection legislation.

The One World Network in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern has urged the state government to release a draft for their promised state climate protection law as soon as possible, first announced in 2023. Spokesperson Nathalie Nad-Abonji called out the delay, saying, "We've been waiting a year later."

Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is one of the few states without its own climate law, and Nad-Abonji emphasized that delaying action is unacceptable. She also argued for transparency, emphasizing the need to inform citizens about the threat and challenges of the climate crisis and how Mecklenburg-Vorpommern plans to contribute, with fair distribution of burdens and costs.

A climate protection law is part of the red-red coalition agreement, with key goals being the state reaching climate neutrality by 2040 and a climate-neutral state administration by 2030. The drafting process is currently under departmental consultation. After a draft is submitted, it must pass through the state parliament.

The state government, in response to a Green party inquiry, indicated a time frame: the draft law would be presented to the cabinet for the first time in summer 2024.

The One World Network in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is an organization combining clubs, initiatives, and individuals committed to global justice and future-oriented development as per their own claims. With 61 members, 43 being groups and 18 being individual members, they claim to advocate for climate protection in their state.

Nathalie Nad-Abonji, a spokesperson for the One World Network in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, responds to inquiries about the climate protection law in progress in the state.

The Green Party put forth a minor inquiry to inquire about the status of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's climate protection law. The Ministry of the Environment responded by specifying a timeline: the draft law would be presented to the cabinet around summer 2024.
