T&E: majority of aviation and shipping emissions not factored in

Intra-European and international emissions from aviation and shipping are not included in the German emissions budget for transport from the Climate Protection Act. According to a study by the environmental umbrella organization Transport & Environment (T&E), these unaccounted emissions account for over 90 percent of total emissions from the two sectors. If they were included, total emissions from the transport sector in Germany would be almost 20 percent higher in 2021.
