Germany Set to Miss 2030 Emissions Goals, Climate Adviser Warns

Germany is likely to miss key climate targets as it waters down emission-reduction programs, an advisory group said Monday.

The government in March set out an €8 billion ($9.3 billion) plan to slash carbon as it chases a 2030 goal to cut emissions by two-thirds from 1990 levels. But the Council of Experts on Climate Change now warns the country may exceed its target by as much as 100 million tons of CO2.
