"Energy and climate protection are among the most important issues of the future. Securing a sustainable, affordable and reliable energy supply is a prerequisite for prosperity and wealth. At the same time, it is important to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to counteract climate change. Both tasks can be better solved through close international cooperation."
