Welcome to the inaugural episode of „The Climate Bridge Podcast” adelphi’s and Polis180’s new podcast series. This podcast, like the Transatlantic Climate Bridge initiative behind it, focuses on climate change and climate policy in Germany, the US, and Canada—a key goal is to improve climate cooperation between the three countries.

About this episode 

This first episode features an interview with Lisa Badum, a member of parliament for Germany’s Green party. Lisa speaks with hosts Noah Gordon, advisor at adelphi, and Sarah Zitterbarth, climate program leader at Polis180 on topics ranging from Germany’s G7 presidency, to windmill regulations in Bavaria and Texas, to the possibility of a climate club including Germany and North America. Sarah and Noah also discussed their “climate policy crushes”—their favorite policies from across the Atlantic—and explained what long German compound words have to do with climate litigation.
