Climate Change and trans-atlantic partnership dropped from the G8 Agenda?
Reuters wrote this morning that the G8 Sherpa Bernd Pfaffenbach announced in an interview that the summit in June “won’t yield a new climate change accord.” However the goverment website still announces that climate change will be a priority, according to a speech that Merkel delivers at the World Economic Forum today.
In an interview with Handelsblatt, G8 sherpa Pfaffenbach already cautioned that the trans-atlantic economic co-operation will most likely be not a topic at the G8 summit since it might jeopardize the WTO negotiations.
