Examples Area of transformation: Energy transition and climate action

The planetary triple crisis of accelerated climate change, environmental pollution and increasing biodiversity loss is already being felt dramatically in every region of the world. Germany is working for a consistent and equitable transition to a sustainable, climate-neutral economy – also as a contribution to its multilateral commitments. Achieving Germany’s climate
target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by least 65 per cent by 2030 compared to 1990 is now within reach. The expansion of renewable energies makes a major contribution here.

What Germany has done in the period covered by this report:

Germany takes resolute action to advance UN conventions and is working intensively to achieve the objectives of the Paris Agreement.
Germany is committed to the expansion of renewable energies and, at national level, is creating the conditions for speeding up planning processes.
Germany is adopting nature-based climate solutions, thus recognising the climate-nature conservation nexus.

Cooperation in action

Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment (PGII) und Just Energy Transition Partnerships (JETPs)Internal link

With the Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment (PGII), launched under Germany’s G7 Presidency in 2022, the G7 countries have set themselves the goal of mobilising up to 600 billion US dollars in public and private investment for sustainable infrastructure by 2027.
National Hydrogen Strategy 2023Internal link

Germany has set itself ambitious energy and climate targets. By 2045, Germany aims to achieve greenhouse gas neutrality. Hydrogen – a renewable energy carrier – has a key role to play in decarbonising German industry.
