Germany at risk of missing 2030 climate targets
"With the current climate policy instruments and the assumed framework conditions, it is not foreseeable that the transformation to greenhouse gas neutrality will be successful in all sectors,"
"the goal of net greenhouse gas neutrality by 2045 remains at risk of not being achieved"
"cannot be achieved with the measures proposed"
"probably not going to be achieved"
A government draft indicates Germany is projected to fall just short of its 2030 target of a 65% greenhouse gas reduction versus 1990 and that net greenhouse gas neutrality by 2045 is at risk. An advisory panel called the 2030 target "probably not going to be achieved," while environmental groups and the head of Environmental Action Germany said the proposed measures are insufficient. The draft proposes subsidies for energy-efficient renovations and more public transport investment, but critics note it omits planned coalition moves such as loosening car emission rules and rolling back building efficiency mandates. Details remain under negotiation.
