According to an analysis, all EU countries are still a long way from the goal formulated in the Paris climate agreement of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. This is suggested by model calculations by the Frankfurt start-up “Right. Based on Science” based on climate measures that have already been taken. Not included are announced projects. In this, Germany comes off worse than other EU countries. The start-up has developed a model that expresses the climate impact of companies, buildings or financial portfolios, for example from government bonds, in degrees Celsius: This is how much the earth would warm up by the year 2100 if the entire world was just as emission-intensive as the unit examined . When calculating the temperature paths, Right only considers climate protection measures that have already been implemented. Measures that have been announced but not implemented are not included.
EU countries – Far away from climate targets – Economy
