Up to now, the transformation of European law specifications into national law has taken place in various steps on the basis of the Environmental Impact Assessment Act (Gesetz zur Umweltverträglichkeitsprüfung) from 2/12/1990,78 the Amendment Act (Artikelgesetz) from 25/06/200579 as well as the European Law Adaptation Act for the Construction (Europarechtsanpassungsgesetz Bau) from 6/24/2004 Furthermore, the Directive 2003/35/EC80 is intended to be implemented through a public participation Act81 as well as a right of appeal Act for the environment.
Since 1992, a comprehensive restructuring and aggregation of the diverse environmental laws into one systematic code (a so-called General Environmental Act or Umweltgesetzbuch) has been envisaged as an alternative to the piece-by-piece ‘postprocessing’ of German environmental law. However, this has been impeded by the highly differentiated allocation of legislative powers.83 The solution to the above-mentioned problems proposed by the planned Environmental Act was supposed to be the introduction of a concentrated and thus a crossmedia project authorisation (§§ 80 I 1, 99 I 1, 2 Umweltgesetzbuch-Kommissionsentwurf),84 which would have simplified the administrative structure to one authorizing authority.85 At the same time, the English concept of the Best Practicable Environmental Option (BPEO) was referred to.86 Instead however, the EIA Directive was implemented by introducing a Basic EIA Act (Umweltverträglichkeitsprüfungsgesetz [UVPG]) and supplementary amendments to specific relevant legal regulations (e.g. in the Federal Immission Control Act and the Atomic Energy Act).

This article contends that climate law should be conceived as inherently transformative in a double sense. The law not only guides the necessary transformation of economy and society, but is itself undergoing transformation.
