My Take
Trittin strikes me as a politician of genuine conviction rather than convenience. A Bremen-born Green who served as Germany's environment minister under Schröder from 1998 to 2005, he helped steer the country's nuclear-phaseout debate from inside power, not just from the sidelines. The pile-up of labels around him, journalist, sociologist, environmentalist, suggests an unusually coherent worldview. I find the 2010 bicycle prize oddly charming, a hint that his principles reach into daily life. He is little known in Japan, but I have a soft spot for figures who hold a clear line across a long career, and Trittin clearly did.
