“Lonesome battle”
Handelsblatt
The federal government is “increasingly without ambition” 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: “She 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.” 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.
