Les procès pour inaction climatique permettent-ils vraiment de faire baisser les émissions de gaz à effet de serre, ou tiennent-ils davantage de la gesticulation et du bruit médiatique ? C’était la question qu’on se posait dans Zéro Émission aujourd’hui. francetvinfo.fr/replay-radio/z…

Stefan C. Aykut Agree, courts can nudge but action means policy & enforcement. But it's a strange loop - executive failure sends people to courts but responsibility to implement orders again falls on the executive.

In other words: cases such as the Swiss elderly womens' victory before the European Court of Human Rights are important, but not decisive by themselves. They are effective only if supported by pressure from within & outside the political system.

Wer hat sich u.a. mit der Begründung 'die deutsche Autoindustrie sei beim Verbrenner Weltklasse' für eine Rücknahme des EU-Neuzulassungsverbots bei Verbrennern ab 2035 ausgesprochen?

CDU-Wirtschaftsrat mal wieder in den Schlagzeilen- das waren sie auch schon mal in meinem Artikel für ZEIT ONLINE : Wohl kaum eine Lobbytruppe war so erfolgreich darin, die CDU zu einer Politik zu bewegen, die Großunternehmen nützt und Klimaschutz schwächt
