It’s certain now: German industry wants climate protection and energy transition - opinion

Tagesspiegel

The Federation of German Industries (BDI) signalling a new stance on climate protection with its “Climate paths” study is a “breakthrough, more important […] than most governmental climate protection plans and targets,” writes Jakob Schlandt in an opinion piece in the Tagesspiegel. “Whoever continues to warn of a ‘de-industrialisation’ through climate protection and talks and writes of the ‘Energiewende madness’, is isolated and shifts him- or herself to the sidelines,” writes Schlandt. He adds: “German industry wants climate protection and energy transition; that is certain now.”

For background on the BDI study, read the CLEW article German industry says protecting climate can benefit economy.
