Even in the phase of economic recovery in 2010 Germany met its obligations under the Kyoto Protocol. Greenhouse gas emissions in Germany in 2010 decreased by almost 25% compared to the reference year 1990. This corresponds to a decrease of more than 295 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year. “Also in international and European comparison, Germany’s climate protection success story is a model for other countries. We demonstrate that economic growth and climate protection can go hand in hand. We intend to progress on this path and achieve a greenhouse gas reduction of 40% by the year 2020. We have covered almost two-thirds of this path already and we have seen that our climate policy also creates strong impetus for economic growth, innovation and employment”, outlined Federal Environment Minister Norbert Röttgen.
