'The figures are proof that the climate change mitigation policies we adopted in the last few years have been effective. CO2 emissions are falling quickly, coal-fired power is being replaced by renewables. Since 2005, our economy has grown by around 25 per cent – with CO2 emissions falling by 13 per cent over the same period. This is an important signal showing that climate change mitigation and competitiveness can go hand in hand'.
Peter Altmaier, Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy, on the considerable decrease in CO2 emissions registered in the last few years.
