pleased first, on closer inspection, however, more or less shocked, I was the recent publication of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation. The Institute of Liberal wrote paper probably should point out liberal answers to the challenges in environmental policy (especially in environmental protection). Now the Liberal Institute is known for his libertarian not necessarily Mainstreem-liberal views, but what is written there, in my view, the capitulation the challenges! It begs the question whether we had liberals are no better solutions at hand. But we have! Thus formulated the JuLis Hesse in her environmental application already correctly: "The environmental policy must not only serve to distract voters before the election of the economic and structural problems of our country and to scare Prestige policy, the more self-representation of individual politicians to. actual support and conservation of our natural resources was used, this must be corrected and improved. Instead, solutions must be found to bring us more efficient in the right direction. We want a policy that proactively the existing problems treated, always with future generations. Our line is that the ecology can not be made against the economy, but both goals must be meaningful in line. Liberal environmental policies play man and the environment is not against each other. In environmental protection - particularly in the energy and climate policies - have national, European and international action to be found. Without question, are renewable energy and strategies to strict energy conservation factors, which in our energy policy can no longer be thought away. In general: The great power of man has great responsibility for the environment. "
The environmental policy in recent decades has been a lack of implementation of the precautionary and polluter pays principle dominated. A turn of the technically-pipe environmental protection to a preventive environmental policy is necessary. Also: Anyone who causes costs, should they pay for it. This means a move away off the plant-and sector-oriented towards a consistent national economic, environmental thought and action. The success of environmental policy in the past are primarily caused by the rule of law: In this way, our rivers are clean again, and many air pollutants such as sulfur dioxide in significant ways to be reduced. The environmental regulation but gets there at borders where involves complex changes in behavior of citizens as well as companies. Therefore, building supports in the future on the existing environmental legislation, the environmental policy instruments increased ownership and support. Economic instruments such as green taxes, green certificates and licenses should be more in the energy, and chemicals, raw materials and land use is introduced or further developed. In the area of specific environmental regulations in the state should concentrate in future on the establishment of binding targets, control and sanction mechanisms.
The experience of recent decades have shown that democratic societies also cause environmental problems. But they are the only types of companies offer their structures requirements for better protection of the environment and nature. An important goal is therefore to maintain the social conditions for citizens and improve. In addition to the functioning of democratic institutions is the assumption of responsibility by citizens is critical. Where responsibility is delegated not only, or expelled, but even accepted and lived, created a sense of community. Therefore, a key factor for sustainable development that incorporate citizens' responsibility in the private and public space.
I hope that this paper of the Liberal Institute, sprinting into the drawer, or disappears even better in the trash. It is useless and nothing to use!
