Germany presented its third Voluntary National Review today at the United Nations in New York. Dr. Bärbel Kofler and Rita Schwarzelühr-Sutter from the BMUKN jointly represented the German government in New York.
The meeting will focus on the overall conditions for the global decarbonisation of the industrial sector as well as measures that can contribute to the development of strong lead markets for climate-friendly basic materials.
Germany is, for the first time, cancelling emission allowances from the European emissions trading system in order to secure the positive climate impact of the regulated phase-out of coal power.
