What is the overall impact of Germany's 2023 emission reduction on its climate goals, considering both progress and persistent challenges?

Germany's greenhouse gas emissions decreased by 3.4 percent in 2023, reaching 649 million tons. This reduction is primarily due to the decrease in coal power, with almost 18 million tons of emissions reduced in this sector alone. However, the transportation sector continues to lag behind emission reduction targets, increasing concerns about reaching climate neutrality by 2045.

What immediate impact has the stricter regulation of EGH subsidies in Hamburg had on childcare for children with potential disabilities?

In Hamburg, a shortage of childcare places for children at risk of disability has worsened since summer 2024 due to stricter regulations on "Eingliederungshilfe" (EGH) subsidies. This has led some facilities to consider stopping inclusive childcare, as the new rules require additional permits and bureaucratic processes for receiving EGH funding, impacting the care of approximately 40 children in 2024 alone. The city's social authority is working to simplify regulations and increase staff to address the problem.
