September 20, 2019
German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government Friday announced a sweeping climate policy package worth at least 100 billion euros ($110 billion euros) by 2030.
Its aim is to discourage the burning of oil, coal and gas in order to reduce Earth-warming carbon emissions and strengthen clean renewable power, energy efficiency and zero-emission cars.
Here are some key points from the package, yet to be turned into laws, which aim to reduce Germany’s greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55 percent from 1990 levels by 2030.
