Baerbock calls for new climate alliances

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock (Greens) is calling for new strategic partnerships with developing countries following her unsuccessful trip to Oceania. „We need new climate alliances. Between the industrialized countries and those heavily affected by the climate crisis,“ said the minister in an interview with Table.Media (read the full interview here). The success of the UN Climate Conference in December in Dubai depends „crucially on whether everyone falls back into their old power blocks of the last century as ‘G77’ and ‘industrialized countries’ always do,“ according to Baerbock. „That’s not how we move forward.“
