Climate Action

Climate Action Programme 2030

The Federal Government will make a binding reduction of 55 percent of greenhouse gases by 2030 with the Climate Action Programme 2030 and the Climate Change Act (Klimaschutzgesetz). We are moving away from coal, want to renovate more buildings to make them energy-efficient and push climate-friendly mobility forward.

CO2 pricing Greenhouse gas savings are also becoming more attractive in the transport and building sectors.
Financial relief Using income for climate protection and financial relief for citizens.
Building and housing New heating systems and building renovations contribute to reducing CO₂.
Transport Electric mobility, more local public transport, cheaper rail travel and more expensive short-haul flights help the climate.
Farming and forestry Organic farming and sustainable forest management for a better climate. We are reducing the surplus of climate-damaging fertilizer.
Energy Less CO₂ via more electricity and heat from renewable energies and not from coal. We are expanding the electricity grids for wind and solar electricity more quickly.
Industry Our industry will become more climate-friendly with increased efficiency, more renewable energies and new production processes.
Research and development Effective climate protection by investing in research and development.
Monitoring The Climate Change Act (Klimaschutzgesetz) sets binding reduction targets and regulates their verification.
Financing Plans: three-digit billion euros for the energy transition and climate protection by 2030.
Climate Action in Figures “Climate Action in Figures” is a brochure containing facts about German climate policy. It is published by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety. The 2020 edition provides a structured outline of the current facts and figures for this topic, illustrated with numerous diagrams.
