I leader dei Verdi tedeschi si dimettono dopo diverse sconfitte elettorali

> the Greens, who were strong advocates of Germany’s exit from nuclear power

[Data from the European Union](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_dioxide_emissions_per_capita) is that as of 2022 Germany’s co2 emissions were some of the highest in Europe at 8.0 metric tons per person versus France at 4.7, the UK 4.8, or Spain 5.1. Climate change is urgent, just not urgent enough to find other solutions before shutting off your nuclear plants. Not like buying natural gas from Russia for decades had any negative consequences.

What I still find difficult to understand, is how the Greens can lose the vote of younger generations (especially in Eastern Germany), who then vote AfD, which are two entirely different propositions.

Apart from that, being a progressive party in a country that hasn’t moved or didn’t want to move for the past decade or so, is a very difficult position to be in imo.
