Germany's top court ruled that the federal government must strengthen its climate protection plans, rejecting a government appeal against a previous ruling that deemed the 2023 climate programme insufficient. Environmental group Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH) initiated the case, and the court's decision mandates a revision of climate plans to ensure a 65% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. Politicians, including those from the Green Party, are calling for immediate actions to meet emissions targets.
