"Germany met its climate target in 2025, but greenhouse gas emissions fell more slowly than the year before, raising concerns about a goal of 65% reduction of emissions compared with 1990 levels by 2030, a study has shown. The 2025 figure represents a 1.5% decline from 2024 and a 49% drop since 1990, the calculations showed. The research by think tank Agora Energiewende calculated that Germany will now need to annually quadruple the reductions achieved in 2025 to meet the goal in five years' time."
Power outages affected parts of southwest Berlin after an arson attack caused a major blackout. Berlin's energy supplier says power will be restored in the southwest. A group claiming responsibility said the action targeted infrastructure it claims destroys the environment and did not target people. Federal prosecutors have taken over the investigation. Germany met its 2025 climate target with overall reductions since 1990 near 49%, but greenhouse gas emissions fell more slowly than the previous year. Think tank Agora Energiewende calculated Germany must quadruple annual reductions to reach the 65% 2030 goal and that missed EU targets could force costly emissions rights purchases.
