#Berlin, #Germany
Germany reports a stagnation in its green energy transition as renewables grew by only 0.3 percent in 2025 amid fears of policy shifts under Friedrich Merz.This slowdown occurs as Donald Trump attempts to dismantle environmental authority in California while the world struggles to meet 2030 carbon targets.Scientists warn that global emissions must be cut by nearly 50 percent this decade to prevent a temperature increase of 1.5 degrees Celsius.
