Five years ago, in 2021, the Federal Constitutional Court ruled that Germany needed to do more to protect the climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, the federal government at the time decided that Germany must become climate-neutral not by 2050, but by 2045. Is this goal achievable? To achieve it, a complete phase-out of fossil fuels and a switch to 100 per cent renewable energy is necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

30 global climate conferences have so far failed to even formulate the phase-out of fossil fuels in unambiguous terms. The \u201cEuropean Climate Status Report\u201d<\/a> has just found that Europe is warming twice as fast as the rest of the world: rivers are heating up at an ever-increasing rate, forests are burning more frequently, and surface temperatures are higher than ever before. Europe is the fastest-warming continent on our planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
