Germany’s cabinet has signed off on a new climate law, introducing new, tougher carbon emissions targets.

The new law came about after activists won a legal battle, with the constitutional court concluding that current laws were insufficient to protect younger generations.

Luisa Neubauer was involved in the case and is one of Germany’s most high profile climate activists.

She spoke to Anna Jones for the Sky News Daily Climate Show.
