Climate change in Bremen
Climate change in the German state of Bremen affects various environments and industries, including the coast.
Greenhouse gas emissions
In 2022, 10,300,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide were emitted in Bremen.[1]
Impacts of climate change
Flooding
As sea levels rise, the risk of flooding despite flood defenses increases.[2]
Response
The Government of Bremen previously did not monitor emissions due to a lack of staff, but this changed in 2025.[3][4] The Government of Bremen made significant investments in green hydrogen in 2023 and also carbon capture and storage in 2022 in order to decarbonise and reduce the emissions from shipping and the steel industry.[5][6]
The European Commission granted €1,300,000,000 in subsidies to decarbonise the multinational steelmaker ArcelorMittal.[7] According to ArcelorMittal, the intent is for steel to be produced carbon-neutrally by 2050.[8]
Legislation

| Status: Unknown |
In 2015, the Bürgerschaft of Bremen legislated for a reduction in emissions of 40% by 2020, compared to 1990 level, but this target excluded the steel industry with a 95% reduction by 2038.[9][10]
Later this was amended to reach net zero emissions by 2038.[11]
