Government transition will not impede Germany鈥檚 negotiators at Bonn climate conference
The upcoming UN climate conference (COP23) in Bonn will be an important milestone on the way to creating a rulebook for the implementation of the Paris Climate Agreement, Germany鈥檚 chief UNFCCC negotiator Karsten Sach said at a briefing in Berlin. 鈥淚f Paris was the constitution," Sach said, the conference held in Bonn "is about the fine print." Germany now had to do its part and strengthen last year鈥檚 Climate Action Plan 2050 鈥� the country鈥檚 long-term decarbonisation roadmap 鈥� with concrete measures. 鈥淭his is sure to become one of the core topics for the negotiations鈥� to form a new federal coalition government, said Sach. The talks began on 18 October and will likely last until the end of the year. However, this will not impede the German COP negotiators鈥� ability to act in Bonn, said Walter Lindner, state secretary in the foreign ministry. 鈥淭he change of government has nothing to do with Bonn鈥�, as all the parties promote climate protection, said Lindner. 鈥淲e all pull in the same direction鈥�, he added.
