    🎯 Although Germany met the national #emissions limit of 662 million tons of CO₂ in 2025, it exceeded the target set by the EU Effort Sharing Regulation by 30 million tons of CO₂.

To do so, the country would have to save 36 million tons of CO₂ annually from 2026 onwards – about four times as much as in 2025. 6/x
