Germany is forecast to record its biggest rise in greenhouse gas emissions since 1990 this year as the economy rebounds from the pandemic-related downturn, according to a report by an environmental thinktank.
The increase means Germany’s emissions will be about 37% lower than in 1990. Increase means country will slip back from goal of cutting emissions by 40% from 1990 levels.
