The next legislative period will largely decide success or failure in reaching the 2030 climate targets.

Germany wants to become climate neutral by 2045 and, in an intermediate step, reduce its green-house gas emissions by 2030 to at least 65 per cent below the 1990 level. These higher goals can be implemented but they require a completely new character and a significantly greater tempo in climate policy. Climate Neutrality Foundation has developed proposals for 55 policy instruments to be adopted in the 21th legislative period (2025-2029) in order to achieve the interim target raised for 2030.
