āClimate change and the challenge of defending multilateralism in an era of Trumpian protectionism has finally given Germany a global leadership role,ā writes Jennifer Tollmann in a blog article for E3G. US president Donald Trumpās rejection of the responsibilities of global leadership ārepresented a chance for other G20 countries, and Germany in particular as this yearās Presidency, to pioneer a new sort of international leadership. One which convenes nations rather than commands. One that builds on the values of multilateralism - not to be confused with consensusā, writes Tollmann.
