Dusseldorf The 26th UN Climate Change Conference is over. The promises made before the two-week negotiations were high: “It is our opportunity to make history,” said EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
The results are sobering for many observers – once again. Even the industry is complaining. For example, BDI President Siegfried Russwurm complained that the “urgently needed big hit for climate protection had not succeeded”.
So are the climate summits just a big blablabla, as the Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg put it at this year’s conference? Or have they produced meaningful resolutions in the past? Handelsblatt reporter Michael Scheppe discusses this in the current issue of Handelsblatt Green with climate scientist Anke Herold from the Öko-Institut and climate scientist Jan Steckel from MCC Berlin.
