The climate crisis and the crises caused by the COVID-19 pandemic must be tackled
together. Many countries are working on strategies to implement the Paris Agreement. At the climate conference in Glasgow, therefore, it will be imperative to reconcile short- and long-term goals and measures. German legislators have been obliged by
the Federal Constitutional Court to plan climate-change mitigation for the long term. It
should also be made mandatory at the international level to formulate and communicate
long-term strategies which aim beyond climate neutrality at climate stabilization and
strive for multiple benefits with other sustainability dimensions. To this end they should
first contain a rapid and complete phase-out of fossil-fuel use. Second, the conservation,
restoration and sustainable use of ecosystems should become a priority. Third, strategic
preparations should be made for the removal of CO2 from the atmosphere. To generate a
strong momentum, countries at COP 26 should commit to using their COVID-19 stimulus programmes in line with long-term strategies.
