HUMAN RIGHTS AND DECARBONIZATION?:
Germany's new foreign minister to put climate 'high up' on diplomatic agenda (Deutsche-Welle, 12/09/21)
Newly instated German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock stressed the importance of tackling the climate crisis on her diplomatic agenda before kicking off her first official trip to Paris on Thursday. [...]She met with her French counterpart, Jean-Yves Le Drian, and said in a press conference afterward that they had discussed the two countries' shared goals as well as climate policy, the crisis at the Poland-Belarus border and the conflict in eastern Ukraine.She also called for a common response to the case of Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai and the possibility of diplomatic boycotts of the Beijing Winter Olympics in February.
She's alienating the right people.
