Lemke Calls for Action to Save Germany's Rivers

Ahead of the upcoming summit on low water levels, former Environment Minister Steffi Lemke from the Greens has called for fundamental measures regarding the management of Germany's rivers. She warned that Germany is being 'systematically drained - even in times of drought.' Lemke emphasized the need to better protect water resources and find sustainable solutions to counter the negative impacts of climate change. The ongoing drought in many regions of Germany urgently requires a rethink in environmental policy.
