This thesis analyzes CO2 reduction measures that Germany takes from the perspective of scientific research, compared with the public sector, private companies, start-ups, and NGOs. Based on a grounded theory approach, analyzing case studies and interviews, a comparative analysis of the examination reveals that systemic change is required. One important recommendation is the unification of climate targets on all levels. Furthermore, new laws, regulations, and financial recourses are necessary to develop strategies and innovations to steer the system toward a net-zero future.engGermanyCo2 reduction measuresSystemic changeClimate neutralitymaster thesis203315022
