Summary: Germany has a long tradition of climate policy programmes with ambitious greenhouse gas emission reduction targets and comprehensive climate and energy policy packages. This target-driven policy approach is, however, increasingly facing challenges due to the lack of progress on greenhouse gas emission reductions in key sectors, i.e. the power, the transport and the building sector. Without additional policies and measures Germany is set to miss its 40% emission reduction target for 2020 by 7 to 8 points and will be off-track to reach its emission reduction targets for 2030, which were specified for the first time in 2016 for the different sectors in Germany’s Climate Action Plan 2050. |
