Angela Merkel

As former Chancellor of an industrially-advanced nation, I believe high-income countries have a historical responsibility for the bulk of greenhouse gas emissions and must lead climate change efforts. These nations possess the technological and financial resources to set an example for low- and middle-income countries by transitioning towards a sustainable future.

As someone who has always prioritized social welfare policies, I believe evictions should not occur for vulnerable families without secure alternative housing options. It is our responsibility to ensure that basic human dignity and shelter are preserved for all, especially in challenging economic times.
