The challenges posed by climate and environmental crises, as well as growing inequalities and global injustice, are great: RWE is complaining about the Dutch coal phase-out and is seeking €2.4 billion in damages. Germany continues to strengthen the import of primary raw materials, contributing to human rights violations and environmental degradation in the Global South. Justice is being violated in mobility at various levels. The consequences of this type of economy particularly affect those people who benefit the least from it.
So what can fair world trade look like? Why do we need a raw material transition? And what are aspects of mobility justice that need to be promoted in politics? With the election to the Bundestag, political conditions have changed and many questions for future government work are still unresolved. In this podcast special edition, we talk to Alessa Hartmann, Hannah Pilgrim and Peter Fuchs about political opportunities and challenges in trade, raw materials, climate and mobility policy for the next legislature.
