ā€œLonesome battleā€

Handelsblatt

The federal government is ā€œincreasingly without ambitionā€ regarding concrete steps to fight global warming – with the exception of environment minister Barbara Hendricks – writes Silke Kerstig in an opinion piece for Handelsblatt. Hendricks so far is alone in her battle: ā€œShe must get her cabinet colleagues on her side, but also the industry, which has to realise that a reduction in greenhouse gases, as well as entering a real circular economy are in its very own interest.ā€ This week, the plan will finally enter the interministerial coordination process, where it will likely face opposition by the transport and agriculture ministries, writes Kerstig.
