Abstract

As an important member of the European Union, Germany is well recognized as a leader in economic and political fields. On the climate and environment protection, Germany’s performance is less impressive as it has failed its target in 2020. In terms of environmental policy, it has been questioned if Germany’s relationship with the EU is similar to other perspectives. For dealing this question, the article first introduces German domestic environmental policies, then compares them with assessments from international organizations and finally draws a conclusion from the different attitudes of international organizations and Germany itself towards German environmental policies that Germany is struggling to reach its targets instead of playing a leading role.
