Editorial

At least the climate in the German government coalition seems to have been saved for the time being. After hours of negotiations, the Social Democratic Party (SPD), the Greens and the Free Democratic Party (FDP) have agreed on a compromise in the climate action area. The result: The country’s individual ministries have not been absolved of their responsibility for greater climate action. Offsetting between „climate sinners“ and „climate strivers“ among the ministries will be possible in the future. But since the climate targets are getting stricter from year to year, there will be little leeway.
