Klimaschutzpolitik im deutschen Verkehrssektor entspricht etwa 3°C
Summary
The study finds that current climate policy in the German transport sector is consistent with a global temperature increase of approximately 3°C, significantly exceeding the 1.5°C target. Using a CO2 budget approach, the analysis reveals that the transport sector is the worst-performing sector in Germany, projected to consume nearly double its allocated 1.5°C budget between 2016 and 2030, with an excess of 840 to 1000 MtCO2eq.
Key insights
- Current climate policy implemented in the German transport sector up to 2030 is equivalent to a global warming of approximately 3°C. If all countries and sectors delayed emission reductions to the same extent as the German transport sector, a 3°C global temperature increase would be expected.
- The German transport sector is projected to exceed its 1.5°C budget significantly between 2016 and 2030, consuming nearly twice the amount allowed. Depending on the probability of compliance (50% or 67%), the budget would be exceeded by 840 MtCO2eq or 1000 MtCO2eq, respectively.
- The transport sector is the worst-performing sector in Germany regarding climate targets. No other German sector is currently on a 1.5°C trajectory, with other sectors ranging between 1.9°C and 3.1°C, and a total average of 2.3°C.
