Background & Context
Environmental groups and ministries led by Germany’s center-left Social Democratic Party (SPD) are pushing for greater federal funding for climate adaptation and heat protection. At the center of the proposal is the idea of establishing climate adaptation and nature conservation as a constitutionally defined joint federal-state responsibility, allowing the federal government to provide permanent funding to states and municipalities.
Proposed measures include protections for nursing homes, daycare centers, and hospitals, as well as urban greening, the removal of paved surfaces, and flood protection.
