One week before the high-level Petersberg Climate Dialogue in Berlin is held, which will also focus on international climate financing, Germany’s contribution remains uncertain. Although Germany has pledged a strong increase for 2025, the flow of money from Germany will initially be lower next year, according to current plans. There is currently a gap of about 1.4 billion euros to the 6 billion euros the German government has pledged for 2025. Whether and to what extent this gap will be closed in the 2024 federal budget is still disputed in the government coalition.
