Climate balance 2024: Stagnation in buildings, transport and industry

Germany's emissions dropped by another three percent in 2024, according to calculations by Agora. This decline is largely due to the renewable energy boom and a decrease in coal-fired power generation. In contrast, emissions in the industrial, building, and transport sectors saw little reduction. Overall, emissions are now 48 percent below 1990 levels, meeting the 2024 target set by the Climate Protection Act.
