It was a cheerful Minister for Economic Affairs who appeared before the cameras at 8 a.m. on Friday morning: He had something „unusual and successful“ to announce, said Robert Habeck. And indeed, the numbers he presented with UBA President Dirk Messner are surprisingly positive: The latest projection from the Federal Environment Agency shows that the 2030 climate targets are achievable. Therefore, Habeck expressed optimism about closing the climate gap inherited from the previous coalition by the end of the decade, even as the economy recovers and grows by an average of 1.4 percent per year.
