Deadline Net Zero Emma Howard Boyd's Speech at the Transition Pathway Initiative event at the London Stock Exchange, Thursday 13 May 2021 From: 13 May 2021 (Transcript of the speech, exactly as it was delivered) Two weeks ago, Germany’s constitutional court said the country’s 2019 climate law is inadequate because the largest share of decarbonisation needed for its 2050 climate goals won’t be met until after 2030. While Germany had targeted to lower greenhouse gas emissions 55 percent by 2030, compared to 1990 levels, the court ordered the government to revise the law by the end of the year. The case brought by nine young climate activists, supported by a coalition of environmental groups, successfully argued that the planned transition offloaded burdens into the future and so violates the rights of younger generations.
