The CSU wants to have climate protection aid from the Federal Republic for developing countries credited to the German climate balance sheet.
"In the future, international successes in climate protection must also be taken into account in national climate balances," quoted the "Augsburger Allgemeine" on Wednesday from a draft resolution of the CSU regional group for the summer retreat at Seeon Abbey.
"Every ton of CO2 saved counts - regardless of where it is saved."
CSU regional group leader Alexander Dobrindt told the newspaper that climate protection is "one of the mega-challenges of our time that we can only master internationally together".
The CSU therefore wants to give global climate protection a "new boost" and motivate industrialized countries to take climate protection measures in developing countries more than before.
"In this way we create incentives for an even more international approach to climate protection," emphasized Dobrindt.
"There mustn't be any double credits," the CSU politician clarified.
Corresponding CO2 savings could either be credited to the international producing country or the local state in the climate balance.
