BERLIN — Germany’s top court ruled Thursday that the country’s government has to set clear goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions after 2030, arguing that current legislation doesn’t go far enough in ensuring that climate change is limited to acceptable levels.
Germany, like other European Union countries, aims to cut emissions by 55% by 2030 compared with 1990 levels. Legislation passed in 2019 set specific targets for sectors such as housing and transport for that period, but not for the long-term goal of cutting emissions to ‘net zero’ by 2050. They cited the Paris accord goal of keeping global warming well below 2 degrees Celsius , ideally 1.5 C by the end of the century compared with pre-industrial times.
Lawyer Felix Ekardt, who brought one of the cases, said the verdict was “groundbreaking” for Germany.Climate campaigners expressed delight at the verdict.
In their ruling Thursday, judges said the current legislation “irreversibly pushes a very high burden of emissions reduction into the period after 2030.” (as it should, the solution to climate change has yet to be invented, it undoubtedly will in the future)
