Documentary abstract — original language

Kurzbeschreibung Diese Research Note untersucht die Entwicklung zwischen Referentenentwurf und Regierungsentwurf zur Umsetzung der Richtlinie (EU) 2024/1203 über den strafrechtlichen Schutz der Umwelt. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage, welche Veränderungen in der rechtlichen Wahrnehmung ökologischer Zusammenhänge sichtbar werden und wie der Begriff des Ökosystems erstmals ausdrücklich Eingang in das deutsche Umweltstrafrecht findet. Die Analyse zeigt, dass die Reform weder Rechte der Natur noch einen eigenständigen Schutz ökologischer Integrität begründet. Gleichzeitig wird sichtbar, dass ökologische Wirkungszusammenhänge zunehmend als rechtlich relevante Realität erscheinen. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit gilt der Rolle der EU-Richtlinie als Impulsgeber, der Einführung des Ökosystembegriffs, den Grenzen der Umsetzung sowie den offenen Anschlussfragen hinsichtlich ökologischer Integrität, Regenerationsfähigkeit, kumulativer Schäden und der Anschlussfähigkeit an Art. 20a GG. Brief description This Research Note examines the changes between the draft bill and the government bill for the implementation of Directive (EU) 2024/1203 on the protection of the environment through criminal law. The focus is on the question of what changes in the legal understanding of ecological interrelationships are becoming apparent, and how the concept of the ecosystem is being explicitly incorporated into German environmental criminal law for the first time. The analysis shows that the reform establishes neither rights of nature nor independent protection of ecological integrity. At the same time, it becomes apparent that ecological interrelationships are increasingly being recognised as a legally relevant reality. Particular attention is paid to the role of the EU Directive as a catalyst, the introduction of the concept of the ecosystem, the limits of its implementation, and the outstanding follow-up questions regarding ecological integrity, regenerative capacity, cumulative damage and the compatibility with Article 20a of the German Basic Law.
