As the news agency Reuters reported last week, key targets in the draft Climate Action Plan 2050 drawn up by Federal Environment Minister Barbara Hendriks have been cancelled by Federal Economics Minister Sigmar Gabriel. According to Reuters, all greenhouse gas targets for 2030 in the energy, industry, transport and agriculture sectors have been cancelled, as has the sentence stating that the expansion of renewables must be accelerated. The wording for a deadline for phasing out coal "well before 2050" has also been removed.
The draft is now to be agreed with Transport Minister Dobrindt (CSU) and Agriculture Minister Schmidt (also CSU) before the cabinet is allowed to vote on the remainder in September.
