1. Germany and the US state of California will deepen cooperation on climate action and renewable energy, the German environment ministry said on the sidelines of the UN climate change conference COP30 in Brazil. California signed a joint statement with German state Baden-Württemberg pledging closer cooperation working towards a climate neutral economy.

   The agreement sends “a strong signal for the USA’s ongoing commitment to international climate policy,” the German ministry said. Despite the US government’s rejection of international climate commitments under president Donald Trump, “large parts of the US continue to stand firmly behind climate action.” The environment ministry’s state secretary Jochen Flasbarth stressed that Germany and California have been cooperating on climate and clean energy for years and that “the dynamic at the state level is growing.”
