Women In GermanyGirls with the best educationIn recent years, major steps have been taken to ensure not only equal rights, but also factual equal opportunities for women. For many women, having a job is very important. Two thirds of women are now in gainful employment, and this figure does not change greatly if they become mothers. Great progress has been made in training and education for girls – the key basis for their finding jobs. The number of young women holding higher qualifications and degree is now higher than that of their male counterparts

CLIMATE CHANGE Changes in the atmosphere and climate system are among the greatest environmental and political challenges of the 21st century. Climate change, which has largely been caused by human activity, is the global challenge. For many years now, Germany has been making efforts to avoid greenhouse gas emissions by way of anticipatory national climate change policies and by promoting renewable energy sources and energy efficiency. In the international arena, Germany is a forerunner in climate and energy policies and seeks to achieve ambitious emission-reduction goals.

Problems with Air Pollution

European Union air quality policy

Develop and implement appropriate instruments to improve air quality.

- Control of emissions from mobile sources, through fuel quality improvement,

- Promoting and integrating environmental protection requirements into the transport and energy sector are part of these aims.

AlternativesResearching new ways to

produce power that cause less environment damage.

Government should also research alternatives fuel source of car which would less air pollution(Bio Diesel)

Electricity Storage in Germany

In 2015, Germany demonstrated that it could get 20 percent of its power from wind turbines

(13 percent) and photovoltaics (7 percent) without any additional power storage.

power storage is not expected to become a major issue in Germany

BY PRESERVING ECOSYSTEM

We know that no living organism can live in isolation. We cannot survive without producers in nature. All living beings depend on other living beings in the biological community. Not only they are dependent on one another, but also each of them exist in a certain proportion. This creates a complete balance in nature amongst living organisms. This is evident from the study of food chains which operate between living organisms
