The German Expert Committee on Climate Change<\/a> comes to a sobering realization in its latest report. If the federal government remains on its current course of emissions reduction, the climate targets for 2030 will not be achievable. At least a doubling of greenhouse gas emissions saved is required to meet these targets. <\/p>\n

The target set by the Federal Constitutional Court, a reduction of 65 percent of emissions by 2030 compared to 1990, is legally binding. However, from 2000 to 2021, only a reduction of around 27 percent has been achieved. <\/p>\n

Overall, the Expert Council warns that at the current rate, none of the individual sectors, let alone the sum of them, will achieve the targets. Radical changes are needed. <\/p>\n

The energy sector is responsible for almost half of the total emissions in Germany (compared to 2000-2021). Within its own sector, a reduction of around 36 percent has been achieved. The building sector has achieved similar results with a reduction of 35 percent. However, the transportation and industrial sectors have performed significantly worse. <\/p>\n

Achievement of climate targets particularly jeopardized by transportation and industrial sectors<\/h5>\n

The transportation sector has only achieved a reduction of 13 percent in emissions. Recently, transport-related emissions have even increased again. The COVID-19 pandemic had contributed to a significant reduction in emissions in the transportation sector, otherwise the situation would be even worse. <\/p>\n

To achieve the climate targets in the industrial sector, emissions savings would need to increase tenfold, and in the transportation sector, fourteenfold.<\/p>\n

According to Brigitte Knopf, Vice Chair of the Expert Council, all levers must now be set in motion. A massive expansion of renewable energies is necessary, as well as legally binding emissions limits. For example, a ban on oil heating systems in new residential buildings. <\/p>\n
