In response to growing concerns about global warming, the German government announced its intention to reduce carbon dioxide emissions 25–30 per cent by the year 2005, perhaps the most demanding target of any advanced industrial democracy. When the policy process that led the German government to adopt such an ambitious goal is examined, it can be held that the corporatist types of arrangements found in Germany have provided an institutional arena that enabled a consensus to coalesce around the view that climate change was a serious threat that warranted concerted action. The policy process that helped forge the political consensus on global warming, however, has not been immune to changes in the broader political environment that have made agreement on specific actions more difficult. Whether Germany will be able to achieve its announced target, therefore, remains in question
