Climate and environment Archives

The Think7 task force on Saving the Planet: Climate and Environment will cover a broad range of interlinked subjects, including climate, biodiversity, clean water, air, land and seas, food and agriculture, energy, and infrastructure. With a particular focus on greenhouse gas emissions sinks and sources, jobs-rich just transitions, nature-based solutions and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the task force will develop policy recommendations for Germany’s G7 Presidency, especially those with the biggest impact in reducing climate change.
