Since 15 November 1994, environmental protection has been enshrined as an objective of the state in Article 20a of the German Basic Law. Constitutional status has thus been afforded to environmental protection and its objectives. All state bodies – in particular the legislature – are required to be “mindful also of [their] responsibility toward future generations” and to protect the environment (Seider 2010):

 Law on Conservation and Environmental Care (Gesetz über Naturschutz und Landschaftspflege – Bundesnaturschutzgesetz – BNatSchG)

 Law on Protection for Environmental Harms due to Air Pollution, Noise, etc. (Gesetz zum Schutz vor schädlichen Umwelteinwirkungen durch Luftverunreinigungen, Geräusche, Erschütterungen und ähnliche Vorgänge – Bundes‐Immissionsschutzgesetz – BImSchG)

 Regulation on Drinking Water Quality (Trinkwasserverordnung – TrinkwV)

 Regulation on Soil Protection (Bundesbodenschutzgesetz – BBSchG)

 Regulation on Waste Management (Kreislaufwirtschaftsgesetz – KrwG)

 Regulation on Water Usage (Wasserhaushaltsgesetz – WHG)
