BERLIN (Reuters) -Germany's Greens presented an "emergency climate protection programme" on Tuesday, aiming to reset their national election campaign after squandering an early surge in opinion polls with a raft of mistakes.

The programme includes plans for a new Ministry for Climate Protection that would ensure no legislative project undermines a goal of limiting global warming under the 2015 Paris Agreement.
