| @@@||||| | Substantial Reduction of GHG*3 Emission (10% reduction by 2020, 50% by 2050, 75% by 2100 from 1990 level) | Significantly less than 550ppm (GHG, 475ppm) | 2 above pre-industrial level*5 |
Germany | WBGU Oct.2003iadvice from a government founded body. Official policy is to follow EU targets, if a 30% reduction is agreed upon.j | At least 20% reduction of CO2 emission due to fossil fuel *4by 2020 from 1990 level | 45-60% reduction of CO2 emission due to fossil fuel*4 by 2050 from 1990 level | 450ppm (CO2) | 2 above pre-industrial level*5 |
