Environment Minister Schneider Sees Germany in Lead Role in Climate Protection - Germany’s Climate Minister pushes bold action ahead of COP30 summit

Germany's Climate Minister Carsten Schneider has expressed confidence in Germany's leading role in climate protection ahead of the upcoming UN Climate Conference COP30 in Belém, Brazil, from 10 to 21 November 2025. Schneider aims to preserve and modernize Germany's industrial base, focusing on emerging global markets that are climate-neutral and built on clean technology.

Schneider believes the world is now in the 'implementation phase' of climate action, with a focus on delivering on previously set ambitious targets. He is confident that the U.S. will return to its commitment to climate action, despite having stepped back in the past. Schneider's goal is to combine German engineering expertise with environmental protection, arguing that climate action is not a 'luxury issue' but a responsibility Germany cannot afford to ignore. Schneider's comments were made ahead of the COP30 conference, which begins on Monday.

Germany's Climate Minister Carsten Schneider has outlined Germany's commitment to climate protection and its leading role in the global effort. As the COP30 conference begins, Schneider's focus on implementation, collaboration with the U.S., and the combination of German engineering and environmental protection will be key topics of discussion.
