Fight the crises: Minister defends EU climate goals for 2040!

Schwerin, Deutschland - The discussion about the EU climate goals for 2040 creates excitement and different opinions. On July 5, 2025, the Federal Minister of Development Reem Alabali Radovan (SPD) defended the new climate goals of the EU Commission and made it clear that a reduction in CO2 emissions in Europe by 90 percent by 2040 is not only ambitious, but also necessary. This clear announcement came at a time when global global warming becomes increasingly pressing and increasingly affects various crises such as flight, poverty and hunger. According to Alabali Radovan, the fight against climate change is a need for survival that must no longer be postponed. Digital Daily reports that The climate protection minister Carsten Schneider shares her views and praises the proposal of the EU.

But what does the economy say about these measures? Here it gets complicated: the proposal encounters sometimes sharp criticism of companies that warn of the challenges that go hand in hand with these ambitious goals. In Germany, too, resistance to comprehensive climate protection is growing measures, which deeply worries Alabali Radovan. The current heat wave has once again shown that there is still a lot to do with climate protection. The Federal Environment Agency emphasizes that climate change is a global challenge that requires international cooperation.

global responsibility and challenges

The numbers speak a clear language: since 1900 the earth's surface temperature has increased by about 1.1 ° C. And without immediate and ambitious measures, further warming of up to 3.2 ° C to 2100 is predicted. According to the latest report by the World Climate , a reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions by 43 % by 2030 and 60 % are urgently necessary. The peak of the emissions must be reached between 2020 and 2025 to avoid the devastating consequences of global warming.

The commitment at all levels

Climate policy is not only negotiated at international conferences, but also at national, regional and local level. This so -called "Multilevel Climate Governance" shows that the cooperation of all actors - governments, NGOs and companies - is decisive. Even if the emissions of carbon dioxide have risen worldwide in the past three decades, there are initiatives such as the "Covenant of Mayors" that have been active for more climate protection since 2008.

The future of climate protection is in the hands of all countries and societies. We now have to act to meet the challenges that climate change brings with it and to leave a world worth living in future. Time is pushing and responsibility is global - because there is really something.
