Hans-Martin Henning, the chairman of the government’s Expert Council on Climate Issues, predicts that Germany will not meet its ambitious climate goals within the established timeframe.

ccording to the government’s climate advisory board, Germany will fail to achieve its target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 65 percent by 2030. This information was reported by TASR based on a DPA agency report.

This statement contradicts previous claims by Economy Minister Robert Habeck. “If we stay on this course, we will reach the set climate goals by 2030,” the minister said in March.

However, Henning questioned the feasibility of these goals in a 130-page report released by the Climate Council on June 3. “Based on 2024 data, we cannot confirm that the targets for 2021 to 2030 will be met. On the contrary, we anticipate that they will not be achieved,” Henning stated.

The report relies on forecasts from the Federal Environment Agency (UBA). Germany’s Climate Protection Act mandates a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by at least 65 percent by 2030, 88 percent by 2040, and achieving climate neutrality by 2050.
