Launch of the Competence Centre Nature Protection and Energiewende
German environment minister Barbara Hendricks launched a new project aimed at facilitating dialogue among the stakeholders in the conflict area between nature protection on the one hand and the further development of renewable energies in the course of the Energiewende on the other hand. “We want to defuse conflicts at the local level and enable the stakeholders to find constructive solutions faster and easier,” said Hendricks in Berlin. The Competence Centre aims at de-emotionalising the debate and preventing local conflicts. It will supply specialist information upon written request, train conflict mediators and initiate dialogue among stakeholders.
