ā€œA chance for Lusatiaā€

Handelsblatt

Sweden and Germany should set a precedent with Vattenfall’s lignite assets in the eastern German region of Lusatia and transfer the operations into a state-owned foundation with the clear goal of a socially acceptable and environmentally responsible lignite phase-out, writes Jennifer Morgan, executive director of Greenpeace International in a guest commentary in Handelsblatt. ā€œTogether, the two countries can breathe life into the Paris Agreement by keeping the coal in Lusatia in the ground,ā€ writes Morgan.
Former US Vice President Al Gore also called on both the Swedish and the German governments to work together to keep coal in the ground in a separate tweet.
