Jochen Flasbarth, state secretary in the BMUB, said Berlin cooperated with Moscow “to identify potentials, highlight risks and develop concepts for a climate-friendly economic development". Implementing ambitious climate protection measures was also “an important message we want to send out in the context of our G20-presidency", Flasbarth added.
