How much more could Germany achieve through non-state action

The document identifies a research gap regarding the impact of non-state actors—such as cities, regions, and companies—on Germany's greenhouse gas emissions projections. It argues that these independent mitigation activities are not comprehensively reflected in the national projections used for GHG targets. The study seeks to quantify how these non-state initiatives affect the 2020 emissions gap and longer-term targets up to 2050.

• Mitigation efforts by non-state actors, including companies, cities, and regions, are not currently fully integrated into the greenhouse gas emission projections that Germany uses to establish its GHG targets.
• The specific influence of non-state actor commitments on current and future emissions remains under-researched and unknown.
