On Monday, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said the country’s transition to a green economy means great challenges but also great opportunities, according to AP News.
The transition will create so many jobs that “Germany will leave the problem of joblessness behind in the coming years,” according to Scholz.
“Until 2030 we need to erect four to five new wind turbines every day and the equivalent of more than 40 soccer pitches of solar panels.”

A new report commissioned by the government predicts that various climate-related disasters could cost Germany up to €900 billion by the middle of this century.
