The report outlines greenhouse-gas emissions trends in Germany and presents projections for the future. It describes some 130 individual measures that federal authorities have taken through a complex federal climate protection programme, and it provides an overview of similar measures of the Länder, of communities, of industry and of other relevant groups. A separate chapter is devoted to Germany’s specific situation following unification and to the reasons for the differences in emissions trends in the old and new Federal Länder.
