Germany Environmental Issues:

Germany has a number of issues concerning the environment. These include air pollution, partly due to the emissions from coal-burning utilities and industries. A result of the sulfur dioxide emissions is acid rain, which is damaging the forests. There is pollution in the Baltic Sea from raw sewage and industrial waste. Germany shut down the last of its nuclear power plants in April 2023; however, a final repository for the nuclear waste has yet to be decided upon. The government is also working to meet the EU commitment to identify nature preservation areas, as per the EU's Flora, Fauna, and Habitat Directive.
