Abstract

The new coalition agreement is in place. It marks an important political milestone that will determine the direction of the coming years. But what does it mean for climate and energy policy? In this interview, Judith Schäfer-Gendrisch assesses the key climate policy plans of the new federal government, comments on the current social sentiment regarding climate change and formulates clear demands and wishes for the new government.

As always, we also inform you about past events and recent publications, including the final report of the TransHyDE – Campfire project on the potential of green ammonia for shipping and an article on approaches to gender-equitable administrative procedures in environmental law. We also invite you to upcoming events – the Energy Roundtable and the Climate Law and Policy Symposium conference.
