New City Plans and Cleaner Air: Key Environmental Protection Changes
The law mandates climate change adaptation plans for cities with 20,000 or more inhabitants, aiming for more green spaces and better rainwater management. It also changes support rules for home modernization and introduces a requirement for biomass fuels to meet quality standards to improve air quality.
Key points
Cities with 20,000 or more residents must create climate change adaptation plans, meaning more green areas and better protection against droughts and floods.
A requirement for biomass fuels (e.g., pellets) to meet quality standards is introduced to reduce smog from domestic heating.
It is now easier for municipalities and residents to obtain funding for home insulation and replacing old furnaces (e.g., in the Stop Smog program).
New spatial development plans will have to incorporate resilience to climate change.
A lustration requirement has been introduced for board members of environmental protection funds.
