Energien erzeugt. Das ist einer KfW-Studie zufolge ein "neuer Höchstwert". Die Förderbank kritisiert aber das noch zu langsame Tempo. Nach Angaben der staatlichen Förderbank KfW macht Europa Fortschritte auf dem Weg zur Dekarbonisierung im Stromsektor.

Derzeit stehen in den europäischen Gewässern Windturbinen mit einer Gesamtleistung von 28 Gigawatt (28.000...

Wachstum in einer Welt mit endlichen Ressourcen ist eine Illusion, mit der viele von uns aufgewachsen sind. Die Göttin des Lichts schmückte die alten Kraftwerke. Im Namen eines aufgemöbelten Fortschritts konsumieren wir fröhlich weiter und zehren – in Reichweite von Krieg und Umweltkatastrophen – von der wohltätigen Illusion der Freiheit. Und strapazieren den Planeten wie gehabt mit an Sturheit...

Als Bürde bei der Bewerbung galt, dass Geldwäsche in Deutschland verbreiteter ist als in vielen anderen EU-Staaten. Ein internationales Expertengremium hatte Deutschland im Sommer 2022 zwar Fortschritte attestiert, sieht aber weiterhin Handlungsbedarf. Vor allem an einer effektiven Strafverfolgung mangele es demnach noch. Lindner will die unterschiedlichen Kompetenzen innerhalb der nationalen...
to stop using fossil fuels. Nevertheless, it took 28 climate conferences before the world's governments recognized this in an official document.

to debate climate protection measures - or "the fate of humanity", to put it in the pathetic words of UN Secretary General António Guterres. It's about the progress made so far, the energy transition that needs to be managed and the question of what fair climate protection, and even fair coexistence in the world, actually looks like. At the same time, negotiations have been going on for months...

According to participants, the third round of negotiations for a globally binding agreement to curb plastic waste ended without any significant progress.
