At the UN General Assembly, German Environment Minister Carsten Schneider (SPD) presented a roadmap for the country's exit from fossil fuels by 2045. This marks a significant shift from previous pledges of only carbon neutrality. The plan aims to reduce Germany's dependence on imported fossil fuels, which currently account for 65% of its energy consumption. Schneider expressed optimism about the feasibility of the transition, citing the rapid rise of renewable energies and electric mobility in the country. Environmental associations praised the plan, but criticized the government's continued subsidies for the oil industry.
