With Germany itβs the opposite: If our economy sucks, our emissions go down. Mostly due to lower energy (fossil fuel) consumption.
To be fair 10% fall in emissions for 0.3% fall in GDP is still a great trade.
Also Germany did have falling emissilns with a growing economy.
Yeah, the emissions have nothing to do with the faltering economy. Over 30 years of inaction in creating modern (including digital infrastructure) by conservative politicians a lot more so. Germany is a museum of the 90s.
