- Germany’s emergency plan to get the building and transport sectors on track for climate neutrality failed to achieve their targets.
- The experts noted that, although the transport sector climate plan by Transport Minister Volker Wissing of the liberal FDP had “emission reducing impacts”, it failed to meet the requirements of Germany’s climate protection law due to being far off from the 2030 target.
- Such an approach poses an “increased risk of missing the target”, as shifting emissions reductions to the end of the decade meant that unless the significant cuts promised by the building and climate action ministries materialised, Germany’s climate law would be infringed.
