Germany's Council of Experts on Climate Change reports that the country is unlikely to hit its 2025 climate targets. While emissions in the energy and industrial sectors have decreased, experts attribute this more to a stagnant economy than to successful green policy implementation. Key challenges remain in the transport and building sectors, alongside the degradation of natural carbon sinks like moors and grasslands. The government is facing pressure to modernize the electricity grid and accelerate the rollout of electric vehicles to bridge the gap.
