Environment minister Hendricks criticises coalition partner
Der Spiegel
Environment minister Barbara Hendricks criticised her federal coalition partners for obstructing her ministry’s Climate Action Plan 2050 in an interview with German weekly Der Spiegel. “The objections of the ministries of agriculture and transport show that not everyone within the [Christian Democratic and Christian Social] Union have understood which commitments we have entered into in Paris,” Hendricks told Der Spiegel. “Now it becomes specific, and that means that we have to talk about numbers and set interim targets.”
