The construction of new gas-fired power plants that are supposed to provide backup capacity for the German electricity system amid the transition to renewable power needs to be put on the new government’s agenda for its first 100 days, after the outgoing government of chancellor Olaf Scholz failed to get the related Power Plant Security Act across the line, the Federation of German Energy and Water Industries (BDEW) has said.

Was the outcome of COP29 a failure or a disaster? To argue that it was instead a success would be reasonable only if we were contrasting the agreement with an irrecoverable collapse (which would, alas, have been plausible, given the return of Donald Trump). But if one ignores this faint comfort, the assessment has to lie between failure and disaster — failure, because progress is still possible, or disaster, because a good agreement will now be too late.

One day at the COP29 climate conference in Baku last week, I ran into a veteran of these sprawling talks who said he had been rereading Getting to Yes, the best-selling book on how to negotiate.
“It just made me laugh,” said former EU negotiator, Kaveh Guilanpour, from the C2ES climate think tank.
COPs could deliver significant agreements, he said, but generally after messy, zero-sum wrangling that was the opposite of the book’s advice on how to negotiate successfully.
