Germany's recent elections saw climate issues sidelined due to focus on the war in Ukraine and economic pressures. The new coalition of center-right and center-left parties has pledged to achieve climate neutrality by 2045. However, experts like Claudia Kemfert express concern that climate protection lacks priority in governance. Christoph Bals highlights internal divisions within the coalition that could undermine effective climate policies, pointing out that while wind energy has made progress, it is viewed by some as merely transitional.
"Unfortunately, environment and climate protection are not high priorities for the incoming government," said Claudia Kemfert, emphasizing the challenges ahead for Germany's climate policies.
Christoph Bals of Germanwatch noted that within the coalition, there are factions that seem unprepared to confront the climate crisis effectively, hindering climate policy advancement.
