Ministrul german al Transporturilor, Steffen Bilger, a programat o conferință tehnică după scăderea istorică a nivelului fluviului Rin - Economica.net

The historic drop in the Rhine River's water level has prompted Germany's Transport Minister to convene a technical conference to address the issue. Recent records show the lowest water levels in cities like Cologne, Düsseldorf, and Duisburg, severely impacting freight transport. A national working group has been proposed to involve various stakeholders. Analysts warn that this situation could hinder Germany's economic growth, pushing it towards stagnation. The ongoing drought, exacerbated by climate change, poses long-term risks, with potential costs reaching 625 billion euros by 2050 if no measures are taken.
