IPCC report: Germany calls for global action on climate change

Reading Time: < 1 minute

German politicians reacted to the newly released IPCC report by urging drastic emissions reductions at home and more engagement on climate action abroad.

Germany’s Development Minister Gerd Mueller said a major global effort was required to combat climate change, urging poorer countries to also invest more in climate protection policies.

Mueller told the German Funke media group that only 8 out of 191 countries in the world were adhering to the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement, in which nations set a goal of capping global temperature increase below 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit), and ideally no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius, by cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
