Germany鈥檚 plans to cut transport emission to get the sector on track for the country鈥檚 climate targets are 鈥渓acking in sufficient ambition even at the outset鈥�, government advisors said. The Council of Experts on Climate Change, which assesses government programmes to tackle missed climate targets, even refused to check the transport ministry鈥檚 emission-cutting plans in detail, because they were blatantly insufficient to reach the sector's climate targets by 2030. The ministry鈥檚 emergency climate programme 鈥渙nly saves 14 megatonnes of greenhouse gas emissions, so that a compliance gap of 261 megatonnes remains by 2030鈥�,聽聽Brigitte Knopf, the council鈥檚 vice chair. She added the government鈥檚 overarching climate emergency programme, which ministries are currently working on, will have to go well beyond the transport ministry鈥檚 plans. 鈥淥therwise, the sectoral climate target for 2030 could be missed significantly. This could also result in critical challenges with regard to the European targets.鈥�

Because emissions in transport and buildings last year exceeded Germany鈥檚 climate plans, the responsible ministries were obliged to present immediate action programmes in July, which were now assessed by the Council. The experts said the measures proposed by the building ministry would significantly cut emissions, but it remained 鈥渜uestionable鈥� whether the sector could reach its climate target with the outlined steps.

Economy minister Robert Habeck said the government must adopt the overarching climate action programme "before the end of September. All sectors must make their contribution, otherwise we will not achieve the climate targets." His ministry said the government aimed to have "a political agreement on the measures" of this programme by the end of September.

NGOs called the council鈥檚 transport sector assessment a 鈥渄isgrace鈥� for the government. Greenpeace said transport minister Volker Wissing, of the pro-business Free Democrats (FDP), 鈥渞efuses to work on one of the government鈥檚 central tasks, the protection of the climate.鈥� In a best-case scenario, the ministry鈥檚 plans would add up to emission cuts equalling 5 percent of the amount necessary. Friends of the Earth Germany (BUND) said the council鈥檚 鈥渓ousy report card鈥� showed that the government must urgently take more drastic steps to cut emissions.
