Addressing global heating requires a consistent phase-out of fossil fuels through state regulation and the financial liability of the fossil fuel industry, as ecological sinks are no excuse for delays.

Those who must pay the costs of climate damage are the perpetrators: oil and gas companies whose business model has been destroying the planet for decades.

The text responds to the UNEP Overshoot Report and emphasizes the urgency of the 1.5-degree target, particularly for Pacific island states. It argues that ecological CO2 sinks must not be an excuse for delayed emissions reductions. Greenpeace calls on the federal government for a clear agenda on electrification and accelerating the phase-out of fossil fuels, in order to strengthen economic sectors such as green tech. In addition, it calls for climate protection to be enshrined in the Basic Law as a collective task. The criticism is directed at the black-red coalition, which must focus on transformation and sufficiency. According to the text, the costs of climate damage should be borne by the perpetrators, in particular oil and gas companies, whose business model is destroying the planet.

The 1.5-degree target is not arbitrary: for island states in the Pacific, for example, their future depends on it. To combat the climate crisis, effective and ecologically meaningful CO2 sinks are needed. However, these are not a free pass to delay emission reductions. On the way to the upcoming climate conference in Turkey, the federal government needs a clear agenda for electrification that accelerates the phase-out of fossil fuels and opens up future opportunities for the economy in green technologies such as heat pumps, battery cells, and smart grids. Climate protection must be enshrined in the Basic Law as a joint responsibility. The black-red coalition needs the courage to rely on transformation and sufficiency in the face of the climate crisis – otherwise, the challenge of limiting global warming cannot be met. Those who cause the costs of climate damage must pay: oil and gas companies whose business model has been destroying the planet for decades. Jannes Stoppel, Greenpeace climate expert

Das 1,5-Grad-Ziel ist kein willkürliches: Für Inselstaaten im Pazifik etwa entscheidet sich daran ihre Zukunft. Um die Klimakrise zu bekämpfen, braucht es wirksame und ökologische sinnvolle CO2-Senken. Die sind aber kein Freibrief, um Emissionsminderungen zu verzögern. Auf dem Weg zur kommenden Klimakonferenz in der Türkei braucht es eine klare Agenda der Bundesregierung für eine Elektrifizierung, die den fossilen Ausstieg beschleunigt und der Wirtschaft Zukunftschancen bei Green-Tech wie Wärmepumpen, Batteriezellen und Smart Grids eröffnet. Klimaschutz gehört als Gemeinschaftsaufgabe ins Grundgesetz. Die schwarz-rote Koalition braucht den Mut, in der Klimakrise auf Transformation und Suffizienz zu setzen - anders lässt sich die Herausforderung, die Erderhitzung zu begrenzen, nicht bewältigen. Bezahlen müssen die Kosten der Klimaschäden die Verursachenden: Öl- und Gaskonzerne, deren Geschäftsmodell seit Jahrzehnten den Planeten zerstört. Jannes Stoppel, Greenpeace-Klimaexperte
