The pressure to act has intensified world-wide in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. It has shown us unequivocal- ly that even if only one of the Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs, is in jeopardy – in this case Good Health – there may be fatal consequences for all other areas of life, and thus for all of the other SDGs. We can all see how the Dr. Angela Merkel pandemic is making it all the more difficult to fight poverty Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany and hunger. This difficult time has nonetheless brought us to the grow- ing realisation that global challenges can only be overcome with by global efforts. The European Commission’s pres- entation of its European Green Deal as a model for the fu- ture is thus a significant step, and one that we followed up during Germany’s presidency of the EU Council. Where cli- mate action is concerned, the EU has undertaken to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. 3 Sustainable Development Strategy for Germany Foreword ....................................................................................................................................................................... 3 Summary ....................................................................................................................................................................... 11 Introduction ................................................................................................................................................................. 24 Chapter A.

  • Manufacturing Discontent: the Rise to Power of Anti-TTIP Groups
    ECIPE OCCASIONAL PAPER • 02/2016 Manufacturing Discontent: The Rise to Power of Anti-TTIP Groups By Matthias Bauer, Senior Economist* *Special thanks to Karen Rudolph (Otto-Friedrich-University Bamberg) and Agnieszka Smiatacz (Research Assistant at ECIPE) for research support all along the process of the preparation of this study. ecipe occasional paper — no. 02/2016 ABSTRACT Old beliefs, new symbols, new faces. In 2013, a small group of German green and left- wing activists, professional campaign NGOs and well-established protectionist organisations set up deceptive communication campaigns against TTIP, the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership between the European Union and the United States. Germany’s anti-TTIP NGOs explicitly aimed to take German-centred protests to other European countries. Their reasoning is contradictory and logically inconsistent. Their messages are targeted to serve common sense protectionist demands of generally ill-informed citizens and politicians. Thereby, anti-TTIP communication is based on metaphoric messages and far-fetched myths to effectively evoke citizens’ emotions. Together, these groups dominated over 90 percent of online media reporting on TTIP in Germany. Anti-TTIP protest groups in Germany are not only inventive; they are also resourceful. Based on generous public funding and opaque private donations, green and left-wing political parties, political foundations, clerical and environmental groups, and well-established anti-globalisation organisations maintain influential campaign networks. Protest groups’ activities are coordinated by a number of former and current green and left-wing politicians and political parties that search for anti-establishment political profiles. As Wallon blockage mentality regarding CETA, the trade and investment agreement between the European Union and Canada, demonstrates, Germany’s anti-TTIP groups’ attempts to undermine EU trade policy bear the risk of coming to fruition in other Eurpean countries.
