Merkel calls for 'fundamental rethink' at CDP Europe Awards 2021
Posted date: 04 Mar 2021
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has called for 'fundamental rethink' to protect the environment at the annual CDP Europe Awards 2021.
The CDP event celebrates the companies and cities which are working to achieve greater sustainability, and is hosted this year by the European Investment Bank and broadcast on Euronews. In her keynote message, Merkel welcomed the European Commission's Green Deal pledge to make Europe climate neutral by 2050, but said that states also needed to act to create change.
We need "suitable incentives...to bring about the transformation towards climate neutrality," she said. The German leader added that CDP's system of disclosure of environmental impact allowed companies, and municipalities to gain a 'competitive advantage'.
