    Germany is not backsliding. They won’t reach their climate goals, but they reduced the gap in reaching these goals significantly compared to the prior Merkel led government.

      So what would you call the backpedalling on the laws on new heaters and energy efficiency of new buildings then? Or the abolishment if sector goals?

        Not backpedalling. The law on heating is still an improvement to prior regulation and the climate law, that enforces being carbon neutral in 2045, still stands. There will probably be another round of lawsuits soon forcing the government to sharpen their ambitions.

          Yes, it’s an improvement to prior regulation and a step back from what they initially set out to do.
