The results of Germany’s elections may seem blurred but the country’s recent commitment to Climate Action is clear as day. The country signed up to be part of several coalitions for sweeping changes such as The No New Coal compact and detailed their personal commitments, like increasing the proportion of renewable energy in total electricity consumption to 56 per cent by 2030.
