German energy and climate plan threatens EU climate targets

By Marion Guénard & Charly Heberer
Marion Guénard is a consultant for EU climate policy and French-German climate cooperation at the environment and development organization Germanwatch. Charly Heberer is a consultant for EU climate policy. (Germanwatch)
Germany and the EU are not yet making a sufficient contribution to achieving the global climate targets. Marion Guénard and Charly Heberer from Germanwatch therefore write that serious improvements are now needed to the German energy and climate plan.
The UN Climate Change Conference in December made it clearer than ever before that the world is still a long way from a 1.5-degree pathway: global greenhouse gas emissions must fall by 43% by 2030 in order to achieve this. Germany and the EU are not yet making a sufficient contribution to this either. The EU member states have until the end of June to present their final National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) to show how they intend to get the EU on track. So far, Germany has been anything but progressive.
