(GermanPolicy.com) – The price for CO2 certificates should be increased in the event that the previous measures are not sufficient to achieve the German climate targets. “With the CO2 price, we have created an effective instrument with which we can make adjustments at any time,” said Federal Research Minister Anja Karliczek (CDU). If one “continues to make adjustments”, the social effects would also have to be offset. The Federal Government must review compliance with the climate targets every year.
