Surprising announcement from Germany on climate change and the green economy. The country begins to budget at least 40,000 million euros in order to reduce the impacts of climate change and become a model country for a green economy in the world.

40 billion Euros to promote green economy and mitigate climate change in Germany
Angela Merkel

The ambitious project will include internal environmental changes to combat the environmental crisis. Angela Merkel announced the multimillion-dollar plan that seeks environmentalism by reducing the country's greenhouse effect. The main sector to improve is transport, later agriculture and housing.

Germany announced that coal would disappear from its country in 2038, but this project has a strong political foundation. There is a coalition that seeks to attract international attention, while the opposition had always criticized Germany's climate role in the world.

Now, Merkel has used the climate crisis to her advantage. The project is a show of German commitment to the world, in addition, the polls assured that the German population was concerned about the environmental agenda and was about to become a social problem.

Another political point in favor of the project is its announcement a few days before the United Nations will hold a climate summit, where environmental problems will be discussed. If this project is approved, Angela Merkel will be considered the world leader in climate.

Merkel decreed the closure of nuclear plants, launched a mammoth energy transition and faced the climate denialism of Donald Trump.

However, this initiative did not hide Germany from being the sixth most polluting country in the world. In addition, it will not be able to fulfill its purpose of reducing the greenhouse effect to 40% by 2020. It should be clarified that its commitment to reduce the greenhouse effect by 55% by 2030 remains the main challenge.
