According to its two co-chairs, the „climate club“ for the decarbonization of industry should also serve to strengthen trust between developed and emerging countries in climate negotiations. „We see an urgent need to improve communication and cooperation between developed and developing countries,“ Julio Cordano, Director of Climate Policy at the Chilean Ministry of Foreign Affairs, told Table.Briefings. „A platform like the climate club can contribute in this regard.“ Berthold Goeke, his German partner in the management of the committee and head of the climate action department at the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs, also believes that „the club should create a special level of trust between the partners.“
