Germany's 2023 Emissions: Progress Masked by Persistent Shortfalls
Germany's greenhouse gas emissions decreased by 3.4 percent in 2023 to 649 million tons, primarily due to reduced coal use, but persistent shortfalls in transportation and forestry threaten climate targets and risk EU penalties; a new 100 billion euro fund aims to address this.

Frequent Flyer Levy Proposed to Curb UK Aviation Emissions
The UK's Climate Change Committee proposes a Frequent Flyer Levy (FFL) to curb aviation emissions, incrementally taxing frequent flyers based on CO2 emissions per flight, aiming to achieve net-zero by 2050, as sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) alone is deemed insufficient.
