The reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, partly responsible for climate change, stagnated in 2025 in Germany, according to the German Ministry of the Environment. The assessment published on Saturday 14 March shows a much smaller decline than expected, making it very difficult for the country to achieve its climate change objectives. It is a volte-face for Germany, which had made the environment its battlehorse.
Greenhouse gas emissions in Germany fell only minimally last year. The decline has slowed down, the Federal Environment Agency said. Environmental and social associations are advocating a course correction.
In 2025, Germany only barely achieved its climate targets, with greenhouse gas emissions falling by only 0.1 percent compared to the previous year.
Germany has almost ground to a halt in its climate fight. Greenhouse gas emissions in 2025 have fallen only marginally, and the government is warning: without rapid changes to transport and construction, the country could pay billions for missed climate goals.
The latest data on greenhouse gas emissions in Germany is disappointing. The decline was minimal, and the country failed to meet its 2025 climate targets. Experts warn that if the pace of change does not accelerate, the implementation of ambitious plans for the coming years could be seriously jeopardized.
Emissions fell only marginally in 2025. Climate targets for 2030 remain achievable if necessary measures are implemented.
