The Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the German Development Institute / Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik (DIE)

What does the new initiative of US-President Barack Obama for reducing carbon emissions mean for Europe and the UNFCCC meeting in Paris in 2015? How can we balance poverty reduction strategies and the transformation towards sustainability in the context of the post-2015 process? How could the nexus-perspective on energy, soil, and water be operationalised for international development cooperation? On the basis on those questions John Podesta discussed relevant topics for global development, amongst others with DIE-Director Dirk Messner.

As the former president and present Chair and Counselor of the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank in Washington, D.C., and a Visiting Professor of Law at the Georgetown University Law Center, John Podesta offers a broad knowledge and experience.
