Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, close ally of German Chancellor Angela Merkel and a candidate to succeed her at the helm of the conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU), has warned that Germany must not lag behind on fulfilling its own climate goals. 鈥淲e have only one climate on this planet. Germany alone cannot save it,鈥� she said at one of eight regional conferences at which the candidates with a realistic chance of winning present their policy views to party members. 鈥淏ut I warn that we must not start a debate now along the lines of 鈥榣et the others save it鈥�. What is an emerging or developing country supposed to think when we demand of it to adhere to the [Paris] climate agreement, while we as a strong and rich industrial nation say we can鈥檛 do it at home. I do not believe this would do justice to the leadership role of Europe and Germany in the world.鈥� The comment set her apart from the two other contestants, Friedrich Merz and Jens Spahn. Spahn said that Germany exiting diesel, coal, and nuclear energy 鈥渄oes not solve the actual global CO鈧� issues,鈥� as the country was responsible for only a small part of global emissions. 鈥淲e carry out our measures, save nothing with them, and endanger thousands of jobs here in North-Rhine Westphalia as well as in Lusatia and in central Germany,鈥� said Spahn. In cooperation with other countries, one could do more with every euro invested. All three candidates emphasised the need to protect jobs and workers鈥� families. On Germany鈥檚 coal exit, Merz said 鈥渋t鈥檚 not so easy to tell the affected people that 鈥榳e鈥檒l just exit now鈥�; we have a responsibility for the jobs in the regions.鈥� He said the responsibility for climate protection has to be reconciled with the responsibility for families and jobs. Germany also needed 鈥渞eliable alternatives鈥� to guarantee supply security for industrial plants.
