Energy and climate policy to play minor role in conservative party’s campaign programme

CDU / Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung

Energy and climate policy is likely to play a minor role in the 2017 election campaign programme of the conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU), writes Andreas Mihm in Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. The party leadership on Monday decided on the text of the main motion for the upcoming federal party conference. “At the very end, an ‘environmental- and climate-friendly growth’ is advertised, as well as the marked-economy based development of renewable energies and the reconciliation of ecology and economy,” writes Mihm.
