BERLIN (Reuters) – The parliamentary groups of Germany’s ruling coalition on Monday agreed a new climate protection law that would offer more flexibility for sectors that cannot meet greenhouse emissions targets if the total CO2 goal for the country is met.
After a top court ruled in 2021 that Germany must tighten its climate protection law, the then-government set more ambitious CO2 reduction targets, including being carbon-neutral by 2045.
