- UN climate experts say our future is threatened by rising global temperatures. We are already experiencing more heat waves, forest fires and flooding. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says it is crucial to take immediate action to reduce greenhouse gases.
The European Union aims to reduce CO2 emissions and become carbon neutral by 2050, using the Green Deal as its road map. The German government has already agreed to more ambitious climate targets. By 2030, it aims to cut carbon emissions by 65 percent compared to 1990 levels. As the EU’s largest industrial nation and its biggest emitter of carbon dioxide, Germany could be a trailblazer for the rest of Europe.
The German economy faces massive restructuring. Could Germany soon be carbon neutral? Or are the climate targets just a load of hot air?
The automotive industry signals the challenges of such a transformation. In early 2021, Mercedes was still calling vehicles with gasoline-powered engines the company’s "cash machine." Models are still being sold that weigh several tonnes and guzzle up more than 10 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. But is the end of the internal combustion engine drawing near?
Economist Claudia Kemfert says cities need to stop concentrating on individual mobility and instead focus on public transportation and the needs of pedestrians and cyclists. The expert from the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW) says many vehicles in cities are stationary most of the time, wasting valuable real estate that could be turned into green spaces or playgrounds. She envisions a shift from privately-owned cars to car-sharing services.
Experts agree there’s a lack of infrastructure and investment when it comes to making the transition to environmentally friendly technologies. There are too many regulatory hurdles. Gunnar Groebler, the CEO of German steelmaker Salzgitter, wants to use green hydrogen to make his company climate-friendly and equipped for the future. But he knows it won’t be easy. "There’s a chance we’ll mess it up," says Groebler.
With the Green Deal, the EU aims to deploy new strategies and fund sustainable investments. Not everyone may be happy about it, but the transformation of the economy is gaining momentum. The plans are on the table, but the problems implementing them are also apparent. "We need to double the pace," says German Environment Minister Svenja Schulze. "The restructuring affects the whole of society."

That’s Germany, one of the world’s leaders in green technology.
Bone-chilling …
Yes. Germany prefers that Mordor view instead of safely enclosed radioactive waste that occupies the size of a basketball court and whose production didn't generate any CO2 (or other dirty stuff pumped into the atmosphere).
@@radoomiron93
Atomic power is a huge dilemma. Yes, the waste generated is immensely less in volume and mass. But making sure that dangerous material is safely stored for more time than humans have existed is practically a blind shot.
How much fallout can we bury underground in the next 2,000 years before the entire planet is contaminated with it?
Over time it would inevitably become a threat to life, and possibly our ancestors worst nightmare.
@@rodrigorosatoalves 2000 years is a long distance.
just watched the whole 30 mins of a well-directed climate documentary with great interest. Literally no word about Nuclear Power and its possibilities. Absolute joke and embarassment.
Yup, this is propaganda not a documentary, especially given the Europe's current energy crisis, and the fact that many nations are starting their coal plants back up (except france who has nuclear)
It seems that europe and the western world has very few mathematicians and engeniers left who can understand and can calculate the impacts of their very stupid idealistic policies.
Cringed so hard at the part where they more or less admitted that they're not sure yet if wind power will suffice. Like, we can literally see in 2021 that it won't be enough haha
Germany abandoned nuclear power after Fukushima
@@vodkaboy of course "wind power will not suffice"; no single source of power has sufficed since before power stations were invented
d00d didnt you see them complain about how much CO2 concrete produces
Not one mention of the hyper-consumptive living standards which necessitated the energy/climate issues.
that's a taboo just like nobody mentions that 10 companies are responsible for 73% of air pollution, and to fly all these politicians to the summit they burned a lot of fuel... this is just tyranny uncovering to limit people and lure them into the metaverse
@@personaview5789 How many of those 10 companies sell products or services to us, that we greedily buy more than we need? And we have to understand it is reasonable that politicians fly and meet face to face at COP summits. You have to meet face-to-face to hammer out the most important agreements to save a planet. But the millions and millions of long-distance flights to have a holiday where you just lay on a beach and get drunk?! That needs to be dealt with much more!
@@gamingtonight1526 Well first of all, yeah we do buy more than we need but it's because that's what's socially acceptable and these companies push out advertisement like crazy while we're already living a stressfull life, and at the end of the day you have 0 willpower buy them so in that sense it's not our fault. And second these politicians for the most part didin't do shit about climate change, so their meetings are about how to get more money, so in other words how to ruin the planet even more. And even if we did the right thing and buy only what we really need, these rich people have a much much higher CO2 footprint to the point where it wouldn't even matter what the average dude did.
@@gamingtonight1526 Thank you, brother. The battle for our planet transcends the blame-game, and is actually best addressed by asking what aspects of our lives are superfluous. It is with that line of thought that I am resistant to both the currently existing political ideologies and their would-be replacements. Socialism, Capitalism, Communism, Authoritarianism, Populism.........all obsolete. Every one of them leaves the human proclivity for rapacious acquisition of material items unaddressed; in fact, each one only seems to be a pandering response to that unquestioned impulse.
No one going to adres the elephant in the room? Overpopulation, from 1 billion to 8 billion people in just 70 years. Even when the human population was just a few 10's of million their ecological footprint was ridiculously large.
It's all words. Big business talks and governments listen unfortunately so nothing will happen till it's too late. Every country is the same. We are all along for the scary ride
Sadly yes..
With that mindset you are part of the problem too. We're all in this together. Stop or at least reduce meat consumption, use green energy, recycle, pick up trash, switch to a sustainable bank etc. etc.
@@BalboaBaggins To be honest I'm doing all that. If the public is given solutions to problems they will use it...if they are given them.
@@BalboaBaggins reducing meat consumption is how you get alot of people at a health disadvantage
@@konic40 What? There's many benefits for health when giving meat up. For one, eating meat means you are at higher risk of heart disease.
So just pretend nuclear not exist? Why not provide solar panel and batteries for each household? Rather than using the money to keep building and clearing land for turbines or solar panel somewhere in desserts?
i had high hopes for nuclear, but on further research it turns out to make nuclear reactors takes ages is very expensive and requires very rare metals that we dont have enough of. the renewable i hear the least about is the one that has the greatest potential because the resources to make it are so abundant and that is hydrosolar. using mirrors and magnifying glasses to boil water which powers turbines etc. hot countries with a lot of desert would become absolute power houses. the middle east and north africa could generate insane amounts of energy. but for whatever reason its not being done, these countries would rather continue selling their oil and commit suicide.
Well, thats a problem for the poor, i dont see the rich being worried about electricity bills and heating ...
Meanwhile Politicians are flying around emitting carbon. Why can't they use a conference app?
If you really think about it it’s more like industry pollution from India and China that are affecting the environment the most. Not airplane flights. Although if you’re trying to promote carbon neutrality I guess it is a bit hypocritical
@@dominickjvlogs Industrial pollution is a problem EVERYWHERE, not only in India or China. And, yes, planes pollution is a major problem. Especially when it's useless.
Frans timmermans and his bs.
@@robertn2951 Cina and US are absolutly the worse (like 60% of the Total) so their are the One that have to change and both have no interest
@@dominickjvlogs @dominick lucido Check per capita emissions. You'll see how much damage western countries has done to this planet.
India ranks at the bottom in both consumption based and production based emissions per capita.
Western politicians and their state owned media need to pause their propaganda and take some responsibility for the damage they've done to this planet instead of blaming India and China.
Sir/Ma'm why modular reactor not tackled
Is easy to sets dead lines and targets when it comes to climate change policy but when large corporations and businesses lobby governments to keep things as usual then nations won’t be able to achieve this goal of climate neutrality by 2050 and we will continue to see climate catastrophe I.e wildfires, excessive flooding and warmer climate.
If eu does nothing it will be even worse, so it's a good thing to have great goals and reache them even in part, cause it means that if we did have smaller goals, we wouldn't even reached what we will have reached...

@@j.b.4340 the media virus and climate corruption
'WE' can take care of the environment - if 'we' all, as individuals, actually did something, and less people stood about blaming governments, companies, and the media.
In Britain, we have a saying 'Actions speak louder than words,' and it's very true.
Plant trees (if you don't have a suitable garden, join a tree-planting group. If there isn't a group - start one).
Some people are still in a position to grow a few native trees from seed for a local group (not difficult. I grow trees from seed and bushes from cuttings all the time, every year, hundreds of them).
If you're not the gardening type - support a charity that is.
It's estimated that the CO2 created by the 'average' person in their lifetime can be offset by 72 full-grown trees.
There that's a good target for you.
@@debbiehenri345 yeah but that's tangible and requires work. Why would people want to do that? It's far easier to point the finger at someone else. (Also - love what you do- I have the blessed opportunity to be the steward of close to 500 acres of natural grassland with trees... I couldn't plant there without people like you- thank you )
Why Nuclear isn't even considered???
Green terrorism and because when develped it was for military use and not to power the world
Thorium reactors or similar, where the waste would be broken down in less than 1000 years would be great, konbine that whit onkalo aort of storage systems and we could have a new reneicanse for the common man, near free energy, good quality food, science medicine and knowledge of our physiology would allow our species to live near 120 years sustainably, but hey, if there aren any poor then there arent any rich...
Here's an idea. We go nuclear, and nations simply pay Musk and Bezoz to deposit our nuclear waste safely to the moon and store it there.
@@bhante1345 one solution maybe, i dont know would it be economically feasibel to send it to space, but we all pretty much pay the emperor of man and his fool for everything else...
Nuclear power in Germany is like blasphemy, they won't do it. In the documentary they talk a lot about green hydrogen but green hydrogen requires 50 KWh of electricity per kg of Hydrogen produced. So it easy to realize how difficult will be to produce plenty of Hydrogen with intermittent wind power.
Other countries like France, Finland, Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Romania, Slovenia and Bulgaria will probably increase their nuclear capacity if the atom is included in the green taxonomy.

The green energy is the least reliable of all, and now you want electric cars, will need more energy, but from where?? And where you put all old cars? It is a point that all must be done together and not rich countries against poor ones. The polution is not border limited!
Easy just crush all the older cars.
amazing work
Why is everyone so afraid to address how the fashion industry is a HUGE contributor to massive co2 levels? Many countries buy the leftover "recycled" clothing in bulk to BURN for heat and food cooking fires. It is a huge issue
What do you think produces more CO2:
- Tank of fuel (50 liter) you burn weekly in your car.
- A pair of jeans you throw away every 6 months.

Don't forget the farts after eating del taco for a week
@@buddy1155 thousands of tons of discarded clothing is worse by far. Let's not disregard the chemicals uses to manufacture and the air and water pollution that resuslts as well. The industry waste is far more than 1 pair of jeans every 6 months.

German cars are consuming gas like crazy because of high performance cars Autobahn didn't help it either😁
except Germany has 50% more gdp which means that it is the Africa that is behind
So surprising to hear Cro's song in the beginning ^o^
Some of industries cement cannot be decarbonized, they should offset somehow this. Circular economy can work in a global economy?
I read that Romania is working with NuScale, a company seeking to build small modular nuclear reactors, on a pilot plant for generating electricity and industrial heat. If that succeeds I would imagine that there will be a lot of opportunity in Germany.
No. Germans faint when they hear nuclear. They prefer brown coal.
so all about wind and solar, but no mention about nuclear? sounds a little fishy to me
We're going to get a fantastic agreement out of COP26, and just like the previous 25 COP's, no action will be taken.
It's a scam they talk about other things globalization and their own agendas for 2030 all these green people thinking climate is a crisis and that governments are doing something to help will soon get a big surprise
We'll definitely be drastically cutting our emissions at some point. The only question is whether it'll be by choice or not.
Not.
This is true. Probably when it's too late, we will start some large scale insane project to combat climate change.
9 months later :: the war in UKR forced the return to coal and nuclear. Who would have imagined It???

@@konic40 Seriously? These so called scientists don’t even seem to realise that Earth is part of a circuit
I thing a good start would be to that private vehicles of people should be small with an engine displacement around 2L, and low co2 emissions. the current trend of gigantic suv's is terrible.
It's an absolutely rubbish concrete manufacturer's proposal to "capture the carbon" from limestone and turn it into "green fuel"! However you chemically transform the carbon from limestone, it is still fossil carbon, and if burnt as fuel, it still ends up in the atmosphere, so it is not neutral. The processing involved, even using renewable hydrogen, will probably mean the system would not break even for years, and other genuine carbon capture mechanisms developed will make it a non-starter.
my exact thought. you can't take one source of CO2 and give it to another industry, then call it green. at most one would be able to call one of the processes green but definitely not both.
It's just cutting emissions in half, cause you use carbon twice.
@@mikoajchudzikowski5818 That logic extended: Grow corn in the USA, and it utilizes the industrial, commercial and transport CO2 in the air from fossil sources - oil, gas, coal and concrete, using it twice. Feed cattle with that corn, and you have reused it's carbon once again. Then feed Americans with the hamburgers made from that beef, and you have reused it yet again! That's cutting the emissions by half, and half and half! One eighth of the emissions remain, the triumph of green logic!
@@tikaanipippin if the co2 comes from Direct Air Capture and not from fossil sources, you can create an antrhopogenic carbon recycling mechanism much like the photosynthesis. The pool of CO2 already existing in the atmosphere is enormous.
what a scam dream it is. what a lie

Biggest single thing EU governments can do in my mind is setup a distributed, clean electric grid that people can contribute to. Then people will think about how they can produce their own energy locally and sell back their excess supply. Now there’s little personal incentive other than avoiding tax punishments or buying solar panels

Why the interviewees didn't speak in English?
I have studied Abrupt Climate Change now for about 6 yrs. The truth of the matter is every year we are warming up as Co2 levels rise and the last time I looked it was about Co2 425ppm. The last time Co2 was this high was millions of yrs ago and sea levels were 50 ft higher. The seas are rising it's just there is a lag of a few decades for the Co2 to trap the heat and melt enough of the ice. Forests are dying just like this all over the northern hemisphere.
The point is if we all together make these changes now we have as chance of escaping catastrophe by the skin of our teeth but leaving it any later means we will hit that tipping point where instead of being a buffer to Co2 overload it becomes a net contributor and then there is absolutely nothing we can do about it and we face the worst future you could imagine with states collapsing and wars everywhere over meager resources. Imagine being in that situation when you will know we could of been on the cusp of a revolution in how we care our only planet in a sharing economy. Profitability coming first has to go. It's this decade or never I'm sorry to say.

Why is this documentary so overproduced
Carbon neutral by 2050 will mean that people living in the EU will pay much more for transport, there will be energy poverty, middle class will suffer. This winter I am seeing how high gas prices have harsh impact on my family. Our energy supplier have gone bankrupt because it could not procure gas and electricity for our households. It is same for million households here in Czechia. Our energy prices have tripled or quadrupled as our prepayment. I have to pay just for small household every month approximately 700 euros for gas, and for electricity 300 euros. My wage is 1000 euros, so therefore I have to eat nothing or dirt.
It is caused by high gas from Russia, absolutely crazy policy of Merkel and Germany to shut down all nuclear plants and making electricity from gas (which therefore soars in price). Meanwhile sun is not shining and wind is not blowing so renewables are just shithole for taxpayers money.
So after children that are on strikes with their newest Iphones and politicians in their ivory towers will see that they suddenly can not afford decent living in warm house with electricity, then all plans will disappear just as their words in the wind.
And if they will not see, middle class will be heard. Because we want decent living and not eating cakes.

Nobody will achieve 1.5C goal if German citizens stop consuming as addicts (plus other “developed” countries of course).
And yet, nobody is talking about sustainable and reduced consumption. But rather talking about technological panaceas.
Here in America consumption is way out of hand. Carbon footprint should be tied to consumption, when a country like ours says it has reduced emissions all we really did was move manufacturing elsewhere.
Check out how nations are buying carbon credits as opposed to actually cutting down on carbon. Then there's the likes of Australia who claim to have found a way to store carbon, but the process in turn either creates more carbon, or gradually leaks it all out anyways. We're being swindled everywhere with this stuff. It's all political point scoring in a game with the little guy can not compete, only comply.

It is BS that making cement needs loads of energy. Current Portland cement needs it, but even in Roman times there were cement making that used way less heating. And we have already making same kind of cement in ie. Finland. This plummets the CO2 emission to only 20% of Portland cement's emissions. Why not to turn all cement making to these products??? Of course these variants has some downfalls, like harder to find a correct mixture, but if we concentrate our R&D then we most likely find solutions that are not so demanding.
Also some mixes are even absorbing more CO2 than production makes...
Also why not produce more wood buildings instead of dead concrete ones? Wood in many cases is even better material than cement.
Please stop producing stupid emission producing and energy intensive varieties like Portland cement.
