#15 Dieter Janecek — An insight into Germany's national strategy for its maritime economy

Dieter Janecek, Member of the German Parliament for the Green Party and Coordinator of Maritime Economy, joins The Ocean Embassy to discuss Germany's national strategies in this field.

We discuss what this job as coordinator entails, the importance of the maritime economy within the European Union as well as Dieter's goals in this position. One of the key points on the agenda is the impact of the climate crisis on the maritime economy, and vice versa. We specifically discuss the need for alternative fuels for shipping, port infrastructures and decarbonization of this industry.

Additionally, we discuss how Germany plans to manifest its cutting edge research role in the marine community by turning innovations into profitable climate solutions.
