Climate activists believe that Germany must take the lead at the World Climate Conference despite the government crisis. „We are also turning our attention to Germany and the EU and calling on them to live up to their responsibilities„, said Fridays for Future activist Luisa Neubauer in Baku on Friday. Ahead of the expected arrival of Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock and Minister for Economic Affairs Robert Habeck (both Greens) in the second week of the summit, she said: „Our appeal is also not to allow ourselves to be distracted and be persuaded that democracies cannot deliver.“ Especially after the election of Donald Trump, there is a leadership vacuum.
