Wie ausbleibender Klimaschutz im Verkehr künftige Generationen belastet

The study argues that Germany's transport sector is failing to meet climate targets and that delaying transformative measures will lead to more disruptive and costly emission reductions in the future. It compares scenarios of immediate action versus delayed action, concluding that later implementation requires significantly higher rates of emission reduction after 2030 to achieve climate neutrality.

• Germany's climate goals are currently not being met, particularly in the transport sector where the ministry has consistently missed sector targets defined in the Climate Protection Act and failed to implement significant corrective measures.
• Delaying the start of transport sector transformation increases the required speed of emission reductions; specifically, a scenario where measures begin only in 2030 results in significantly higher emission path change rates after 2030 compared to actions starting in 2021 or 2024, leading to greater hardship.
• Compensating for the transport sector's lack of action through other sectors is unrealistic and would disproportionately increase costs per tonne of CO2 avoided, as sectors like agriculture and parts of industry are harder to decarbonize.
