Transport and road transport in particular, is and remains the biggest ‘CO2 polluter’ in Germany and in Bavaria as well. Looking at Bavaria’s total Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared to global emissions, Bavaria was only responsible for 0.2%, Germany for 1.8% of global GHG emissions in 2022. However, this does not absolve Bavaria and Germany from their responsibility to curb the causes and consequences of climate change. The Federal Republic of Germany has set itself legally binding national climate targets to become GHG neutral by 2045. In a first step GHG emissions are to be reduced to at least 65 per cent by 2030 compared to 1990 levels.
