Germany 's 2024 electricity generation was its 'cleanest ever' with renewable energy accounting for 62.7% of CO2 emissions.

Germany is now responsible for less than 2% of global carbon dioxide emissions, but even that is too much.

Germany 's residents emitted an average of around 7.1 tons per person in 2023 , well over the world average of 4.7 tons .

Under current national legislation, Germany is obliged to reduce its emissions by 65% from 1990 levels by 2030 .

Germanywatch says a forward-looking approach will also serve other national interests.

"It is in Germany 's interest to invest in these technologies and become global leaders in this to have a competitive edge," says Germanwatch .
