Die bisherige Gefahr einer De-Globalisierung und neuen Bipolarität hat sich zu einem neuen Ost-West-Konflikt verfestigt. Die EU muß sich deshalb ökonomisch und europapolitisch neu aufstellen.

China is likely to have emerged victorious from the Corona crisis. However, the extent to which China can also profit from Putin's war in Ukraine is currently open.

The West is acting united against Putin. China will ask itself whether a renaissance of transatlantic relations has emerged. But the battle against Putin has not yet been won.

Overcoming political and social polarisation in Western societies could become a question of survival for the West.

The costs of climate protection have to be earned. No green accounting reform will change that. It's just not so green when economic figures are greened by reforms.

Could the green taxonomy not be about sustainability and climate protection at all, but about maximizing the acquisition of EU funds for each country's own national energy industry?
