Germany's foreign minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier is calling for the world to work more closely together on the environment to create a "New Green Deal" after Barack Obama United States election victory.
"Climate change is one of the challenges which we can either solve together or fail on together," the foreign minister said at an environment conference in Freiburg, southern Germany. "The world needs a New Green Deal!"
Steinmeier is due to challenger Angela Merkel for the chancellorship in elections in September 2009. Also at the two-day conference was Rajendra K. Pachauri, chair of the UN's Nobel Prize-winning body on climate change, the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
