UN Secretary-General António Guterres calls on world leaders to stay true to their commitment “to find climate solutions that can help stop & prevent hunger.” COP27 UPDATES:
Germany shy of 2030 climate target at current CO2 reduction rate – gov’t advisorsGermany will struggle to meet key climate targets under its current trajectory for greenhouse emissions cuts, a climate expert council that advises the government said on Friday, November 4, ahead of global climate talks.
“The annual reduction amount would have to more than double compared to the historical development of the last 10 years,” with a 10-fold increase needed in the industrial sector and 14-fold in transportation, council member Thomas Heimer said on Friday. But, hampered by red tape, local opposition and supply chain bottlenecks for components from China, Germany is also behind the curve on meeting that goal, the report found.
A fall in Russian fossil fuel imports, triggered by Moscow’s war in Ukraine, has also pushed Germany to reactivate and extend the life of heavily-polluting coal-fired power plants.
