Climate and Energy
The effects of global warming can meanwhile be measured and felt in every region of the world. They will only be curbed through considerable efforts that must take effect within the next ten years. The restructuring of the energy system is the central task in the context of overcoming the climate crisis. The focus group on climate and energy provides impulses for the medium-term design of the German and European energy system and takes position on current short-term developments.
