From 6 to 9 June, people in Europe will vote for the European Parliament. The EU also has a strong influence on the PowerShift areas – raw materials, trade, investment, climate and energy policies. In this special episode shortly before the EU elections, we therefore meet three speakers from the different areas of PowerShift: Hannah Pilgrim (raw materials policy), Neelke Wagner (climate and energy policy) and Thomas Fritz (trade and investment policy). We want to talk about which issues are becoming particularly important in the EU and what would have to happen from a PowerShift perspective in order for the EU to contribute to an ecological and solidarity-based energy and global economy.
