Beim "Klima-Ehrgeiz-Gipfel" des UN-Generalsekretärs dürfen ausgewählte Klima-Champions aus Staaten, Organisationen und Unternehmen ihre Ziele und Erfolge erläutern. So will António Guterres die Macht der Progressiven gegenüber den Bremsern vergrößern. Aber der grünen Front fehlt es an Schlagkraft.

'Failing to act could become so costly that it could overwhelm the state'

The German "Climate Adaptation Week" aims to make it clear: The effects of the climate crisis are also clearly felt in Germany. In today's special interview, German Environment Minister Steffi Lemke demands that authorities and planners anchor adaptation in everyday life. And she calls for a reorienting agricultural policy, which has worked "against nature for centuries."

"Nicht-Handeln könnte so teuer werden, dass es den Staat überfordert"

Die „Woche der Klimaanpassung“ soll klar machen: Auch in Deutschland sind die Folgen der Klimakrise ganz konkret zu spüren. Bundesumweltministerin Steffi Lemke fordert im Interview, Anpassung müsse von Behörden und Planern im Alltag verankert werden. Und sie fordert eine Neuausrichtung der Landwirtschaftspolitik, die „seit Jahrhunderten gegen die Natur“ gearbeitet habe.

Global Stocktake: The details hold surprises

Actually, the interim assessment of global climate policy is clear: The UN's long-awaited "Global Stocktake" shows the gaps and omissions in climate action three months before COP28, and attention is low. But the text contains some surprises.
