More than 26800 scientists have come together in the initiative "Scientists for Future" and support these demands and the "Global Week of Action against the Climate Crisis". Politicians have a responsibility to create the necessary framework conditions in a timely manner. See also here: https://www.scientists4future.org/
At the UN Climate Change Conference in Paris in 2015, the participants set themselves the goal of limiting global warming to below 2°C, if possible to 1.5°C. To achieve this, it is important that all countries take action. It is important that all states also create framework conditions to promote climate-friendly action. The German government expects that its self-imposed greenhouse gas reduction targets for 2020 will no longer be met. It is therefore necessary to significantly increase climate protection efforts. Policymakers must act now, for example to increase the expansion corridors for renewable energy sources with wind and photovoltaics, to increase the efficiency of the transmission grids and to pursue the mobility transition and heat transition more consistently.
The German government''s climate cabinet is meeting this week to discuss various options for CO2 pricing and thus obtain instruments for a stronger reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. On 20 September, a decision is to be taken on the key points for a package of measures with which the Federal Government will ensure that Germany achieves its 2030 climate targets. Further information can be found on the Federal Government''s website, www.bundesregierung.de.
