Watch the video: Fridays for Future criticize climate resolutions – “Don’t let us get rid of them”.
STORY: Outrage among the climate activists from Fridays for Future. In addition to the general criticism of the federal government’s climate policy, there is displeasure with the latest results of the traffic light coalition committee this Friday. For example, the decision that individual departments only have to have their climate targets checked across sectors and in a multi-year overall account. The planning acceleration for motorways enforced by the FDP is also met with criticism, as Clara says: “Yes, I see the resolutions as a step backwards and I think we shouldn’t afford to go backwards in the climate crisis, but we have to do it much, much faster do much, much more for climate protection. And I don’t see that. I don’t see that happening to the politicians who sit here in the ministry. That’s why I’m here at the demo and saying: We need stricter climate targets, need faster ones Climate goals and we need corresponding policies that also pursue them.” O-ton Jörn Rieken: “It’s a complete catastrophe. So the construction of the Autobahn will be expanded and the railway will be postponed to 2070, the German cycle. It’s a complete catastrophe.” However, Fridays for Future spokeswoman Luisa Neubauer does not want to be discouraged. “We started the climate movement four and a half years ago, with Fridays For Future, and at that time there were two men in these two ministries, the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Economic Affairs, for whom we didn’t know whether they could even spell climate protection. And today we are at a completely different point. And we can demand other things, we can bring other things onto the street and that means we don’t hold ourselves back. It’s never easy. We have to constantly question what and how we do things and then don’t let us get swayed.” While economists praised the traffic light package as a “step in the right direction”, several environmental groups had criticized Tuesday’s decisions. The Greens then called for renegotiations. However, a spokesman for the federal government reacted very cautiously on Friday.
