Another German regional state also ruled by a ‘red-green’ coalition, Northrhine Westfalia, introduced a 95% reduction target earlier this year, but this was watered down to 80% when the first draft of a state carbon reduction law was published in June. Angela Merkel’s federal German government has a non-binding 80% reduction goal by 2050.
