Germany's coalition to detail carbon-free plans after marathon talks
BERLIN - Germany’s governing parties on Friday agreed a new climate protection package, including a domestic carbon price and the possibility of more stringent measures in future, a source close to the talks said.
But the source added that the scheme, details of which are set to be announced by Merkel later on Friday, will contain provisions allowing the government to take corrective measures if targets on emissions cuts risk being missed. Several thousand protesters, inspired by Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg’s Fridays for Future movement, rallied at Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate as the negotiations were underway.
