- excerpt from the resolution:
- "The health ministers and senators of the federal states consider it necessary to draw up heat action plans within a 5-year period. In accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, these are to be drawn up primarily by the municipalities and affected institutions, taking into account the regional circumstances and specifics. This requires cooperation with all relevant stakeholders such as care services, the outpatient and inpatient care sector, the public health service and health insurance companies. The Federal Environment Ministry's recommendations for action should be used as a basis for this."

An insight:
- With the second law amending the Water Resources Act, which came into force in January 2023, the provision of tap water through drinking water wells in public places is considered a task of general interest. This means that local authorities are now obliged to install drinking water wells.
