Germany aims to switch to a 100% renewable economy. Why has Germany embarked on such an ambitious path? What can we learn from Germany? How “green” is Germany? We will explore the mythical idea of the forest, 19th and 20th-century environmental movements, green ideas during National Socialism, the Green Party, and more.
