OECD urges Germany to meet its climate targets with extra effort
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), a global organisation of 35 developed and emerging countries, has urged Germany to adopt further measures to reach its climate targets. 鈥淎dditional policies are needed to meet even the near-term targets,鈥� the OECD said in its 鈥樷��. 鈥淚t is important to meet targets on time as the credibility of climate policy is critical in view of the long-term nature of the climate challenge.鈥� Germany could still do justice to its ambitions with a rapid coal exit, according to the OECD. 鈥淧hasing out coal-fired energy generation has among the lowest CO2 emission abatement costs and would enable Germany to meet its 2020 target.鈥� The organisation also criticised that 鈥渢he transportation sector lacks an overarching policy strategy.鈥�
