Reasons for my involvement in the Maritime Platform e. V.: |
“To achieve the Paris climate protection goals, all sectors, including shipping, must take climate protection seriously and act quickly. Climate protection in shipping is playing an increasingly important role at Maritimen Plattform e.V.. Further increasing the importance of climate protection and discussing climate protection options with science, politics and practice is the motivation for my involvement in the Maritime Platform.” |
