German officials proposed Wednesday that the country could bring forward the date for reducing its greenhouse gas emissions to "net zero" to 2045, after Germany's top court ruled that existing plans place too much of the burden for curbing climate change on young people.

 

Under the proposal announced by Environment Minister Svenja Schulze and Finance Minister Olaf Scholz, the country would increase its emissions reduction targets from 55% to 65% below 1990 levels by 2030, and to 88% by 2040.

 

The timetable would enable Germany to stop adding further planet-warming gases to the atmosphere five years earlier than the previous target of 2050, officials said.
