Germany has been ordered by the Berlin-Brandenburg Administrative Appeals Court to create a climate action plan that specifically addresses carbon emissions in the traffic and construction sectors. The court ruled in favor of environmental groups DUH and BUND, stating that Germany is violating climate protection laws. The government has the option to appeal the decision, and the German Economy Ministry will analyze the ruling before deciding on next steps. This ruling comes after Germany's top court recently ruled against €60 billion in off-budget funding for clean energy and industrial projects. [Extracted from the article]
