Bayerisches Staatsministerium für Umwelt und Verbraucherschutz (StMUV)

The Bavarian State Ministry for the Environment and Consumer Protection (StMUV) is a supreme state authority of the Free State of Bavaria, headquartered in Munich. It consolidates key responsibilities in the areas of environmental policy, nature conservation, water management, climate protection, waste and soil protection, as well as consumer protection. The ministry develops laws and funding programs to protect flora and fauna in Bavaria, ensure the sustainable use of natural resources, and support consumers in making safe choices regarding food, products, and services. Additionally, it coordinates research initiatives, monitors environmental data, and works closely with European and international institutions.

Our mission is the holistic protection of the environment and consumers: We are committed to preserving natural habitats, limiting climate change, and promoting sustainable economic practices. At the same time, we strengthen the rights and informational sovereignty of citizens so that they can make informed decisions. Through transparent communication, science-based policies, and targeted funding programs, we contribute to a livable and sustainable society.

The funding programs of the Bavarian State Ministry for the Environment and Consumer Protection (StMUV) are aimed at project sponsors in Bavaria, including municipalities, districts, non-profit organizations, research institutions, companies, and consumer associations. The objective is to support projects that promote environmental and resource protection, climate adaptation, or consumer information. Additionally, children, adolescents, and educational institutions benefit from special offerings in environmental education and sustainable development. Through targeted grants, initiatives that make a visible contribution to ecological diversity and the strengthening of consumer sovereignty are to be reinforced.
