Where exactly the CDU and CSU stand on climate policy was unclear for a long time. The „Mittelstandsunion“, for example, usually advocated different concepts than the „Klima-Union“, while climate expert and party vice-chairman Andreas Jung set a significantly different tone than Jens Spahn, who is responsible for the parliamentary group’s energy policy. However, the parliamentary group has now agreed on a joint discussion paper in a lengthy process, which will be presented to the public at an energy policy conference this Tuesday. And this paper aims to roll back the energy and climate policy of the traffic light coalition more than some past statements have suggested.
