A German court just dropped a climate justice bombshell! 💣 The Berlin-Brandenburg Higher Administrative Court ruled Thursday that the government’s current climate protection plans are too weak to meet national emissions targets – and they’re demanding urgent upgrades. 📈
Judges called out 'methodological shortcomings' and 'unrealistic assumptions' in existing policies, saying sectors like transport and energy aren’t cutting emissions fast enough. 🌡️ The ruling supports lawsuits by Environmental Action Germany (DUH), with director Juergen Resch declaring: 'No more climate procrastination!' 🚫
While the decision can still be appealed, it’s a major win for activists pushing Germany – Europe’s biggest economy – to walk the talk on its 2030 climate goals. 🌍⚖️ Will this legal pressure spark faster green reforms? Stay tuned! 🔌
