Co2 from fossil sources is one of the most important drivers of the man-made climate crisis. Germany wants to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 65 percent by 2030. In principle, all countries should be climate-neutral by 2050.
There is still a long way to go. At the end of 2021 I decided to take a photo trip through Germany to see where we are, what we have done so far and what we still have to do to stop climate change. My journey took me almost 30,000 km through Germany and I am far from finished.
