Germany can still achieve the planned 2045 net zero, but politicians would have to take additional measures to achieve this. This is the key finding of a comprehensive study carried out by Prognos, the Institute for Applied Ecology, the Wuppertal Institute and the University of Kassel on behalf of the Agora think tank and published on Tuesday. The study found that it would take investments of around eleven percent of gross domestic product each year to achieve the climate target. However, eight percent of this is already earmarked for replacement investments, which simply need to be redirected towards green alternatives. This means that only three percent of GDP would need to be invested additionally. This corresponds to around 147 billion euros annually, of which three-quarters are private and one-quarter public.
