This fifth episode of the Germany Elects podcast, which will be the last before Germany’s federal election on Sunday 26 September, focuses on how the German election works and whether this has been the country’s first “climate election”.
Jeremy Cliffe is joined by Emily Tamkin to explain the electoral system, the results and possible coalitions, and takes a quick-fire round of You Ask Us listener questions.
Then he is joined by Sven Egenter, the editor-in-chief of Clean Energy Wire and Philippa Nuttall, the New Statesman’s environment and sustainability editor, to discuss Germany’s climate policies, how the party manifestos shape up and how the climate crisis has marked the campaign.
