This project, “The Road Towards a Carbon Free Society A Nordic-German Trade Union Cooperation on Just Transition”, is a collaboration between the Council of Nordic Trade Unions (NFS), the Friedrich-Ebert Stiftung (FES) and the German Trade Union Confederation (DGB).
Total EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) stationary emissions rose by 0.3 percent in 2017 compared to the previous year … The EU’s top 10 emitters are now mainly lignite, and mainly in Germany, according to the study.
Germany’s recent climate policies move emissions projections downwards, but the three-party coalition government remains significantly divided on comprehensive action across all sectors, putting the country’s climate targets in danger.
