Is that likely to change under the incoming coalition government? With the war in Ukraine, high energy prices and a flagging economy contending as the main focus points on Germany&#8217;s political agenda in recent years, attention for the climate crisis has waned. Even as extreme weather events become more intense and more frequent, the rising temperatures they are connected to were barely mentioned in campaign speeches ahead of the country&#8217;s February elections.<\/p>\n<p>As such, it has been unclear what the incoming coalition partners might do in terms of climate action. But now, after months of negotiations, the three ruling parties \u2014 the center-right Christian Democratic Union (CSU), their Bavarian sister party the Christian Social Union (CSU) and the center-left Social Democrats (SPD) \u2014 are starting to set out their stalls. As part of their coalition agreement, they are committed to the target of climate neutrality by 2045. But Claudia Kemfert, an economist and energy expert at the German Institute of Economic Research (DIW) says that overall and &#8221;unfortunately, environment and climate protection are not high priorities for the incoming government.&#8221; Christoph Bals, chief policy officer at the environmental NGO Germanwatch, says it could be a difficult road ahead.<\/p>\n<p><em>Steam rises out of the cooling towers of a coal plantSteam rises out of the cooling towers of a coal plant<\/em><br \/>\n&#8221;There are some parts of the government, some parts of the party, that when you hear them speak about climate policy, you get the impression they are not yet up to the challenge,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p><em>Germany&#8217;s flagging economy versus climate<\/em><br \/>\nOver the past four years, climate action was treated, at least in part, as an economic and international issue, officially taken under the wing of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action overseen by Green party politician Robert Habeck \u2014 with international policy largely led by the foreign ministry.<\/p>\n<p>But as part of the new government shuffle, domestic and international climate policy will now be moved back under the supervision of the environment ministry. It&#8217;s a development with mixed consequences, said Kemfert. &#8221;On the one hand, it is good that climate protection is back in the environment ministry so that expertise can be pooled to tackle the challenges in this area,&#8221; she told DW. &#8221;On the other hand, climate protection is also an economic task, and old conflicts between the environment and economy ministries threaten to resurface.&#8221; Two years into a recession, the economy was a major focus during the election campaign, often pitted against climate-protection measures.
