Climate policy and the German election
Climate change is one of the biggest issues ahead of Germany's election on 26 September.
Climate change is one of the biggest issues ahead of Germany's election on 26 September. We examine what the main candidates are pledging to do to tackle rising emissions in one of the world's most industrialised nations. Rob Young speaks to Karen Pittel, professor of economics at the University of Munich who specialises in energy and climate, to understand how the policies might affect Germany's economy, now and in the future. And we hear what German industry thinks of the policies and how it's adapting to greener technology from Dr. Kurt-Christian Scheel of the German Automotive Association.
