The adoption of our climate strategy set in motion actions to help us achieve our climate-protection targets for 2030, 2040, and 2050 In monitoring progress toward them, it is important to remember that year-on- year comparisons can be affected by temporary fluctuations caused by weather patterns and other factors A period of several years is necessary to determine whether the action we take is effective and where we stand with regard to our targets We therefore assess our progress in greater depth every three years as part of a trend analysis Our first assessment was at year-end 2019 (relative to our former 2016 baseline after the Uniper spinoff) The trend (in absolute terms and with regard to our carbon intensity target) indicated that the reduction rate is in line with our forecasts
