Germany to take additional climate protection measures if needed – Merkel

Angela Merkel

Berlin — Germany will review progress towards reaching its climate goals each year until 2030 and take additional measures if needed, Chancellor Angel Merkel said on Friday after the government presented a package of new measures to curb carbon emissions.

“The chances are very good, they have grown, that we will reach our climate goals this time, better than with the 2020 target,” Merkel said. “If we should realise we’re not on track, then we will correct this.”
