Carole Dieschbourg im Interview: „Diese Taxonomie ist ein No-Go"

Luxemburgs Umweltministerin bezeichnet den Entwurf der EU-Kommission zur Taxonomie als "Greenwashing". Durch die zumindest übergangsweise Aufnahme von Investitionen in Gas und Kernkraft verliere die EU ihren Vorreiterstatus im Kampf gegen den Klimawandel, kritisiert die grüne Ministerin im Gespräch mit Charlotte Wirth. Luxemburg wolle sich einer Klage Österreichs anschließen, sollte der Vorschlag Ende Januar angenommen werden.

Interview with Carole Dieschbourg: 'this taxonomy is a no-go'

Luxembourg's Minister of Environment calls the EU Commission's draft taxonomy "greenwashing". By at least temporarily including investments in gas and nuclear power, the EU is losing its pioneering status in the fight against climate change, the Green minister criticizes in the interview with Charlotte Wirth. Luxembourg intends to join a lawsuit filed by Austria if the proposal is adopted at the end of January.

Second year of China's emissions trading

China's emissions trading system enters its second calendar year. Virtually all participating power companies have met the requirements by the end of 2021. However, the system does not yet provide sufficient incentives for reducing emissions. But the entry into CO2 pricing has been achieved. The next step will be to include other industries – beyond the energy sector.

Beijing's imperial heritage

At the Yingtai Pavilion, part of the old Beijing Imperial Palace, the lines of history cross in an unlikely fashion. It was in the setting of imperial splendor that Communist autocrat Mao met with Pu Yi, the deposed last emperor. Recently, Xi Jinping used the same location for a special meeting. And he spared no imperial symbolism for himself.
