In Germany, the federal government has accordingly decided to phase out energy production from lignite-fired power plants by 2038 at the latest. Most affected regional ecosystems in Germany are the Lusatia mining region (Lausitzer Revier), the Rhenish mining region (Rheinisches Revier) and the Middle German mining region (Mitteldeutsches Revier). In these regions, fundamental sustainability transitions have to take place.
