Baden-Württemberg and California - transatlantic partnership for climate action

Baden-Württemberg and California have been linked by an official partnership since 2018, which is practiced in many areas. The two states have and want to work closely together, particularly on climate protection, adaptation to climate change and other environmental issues. Therefore, the existing MoU is to be expanded and deepened within the framework of COP30, which will be made visible through a signing by high-ranking representatives from both countries. This signing of the new Joint Statement will be enriched by contributions from Minister Thekla Walker and Secretary Wade Crowfoot from California. The Federal German Government, is represented by State Secretary Flasbarth, who is also very familiar with the history of the the CA-BW partnership.
