In an assessment of the lack of necessary future investments in Germany, climate policy issues account for almost half of the requirement. Of the total of €782 billion needed between 2025 and 2030 for „broadly accepted goals“ such as defense, health or economic resilience, around €340 billion would have to flow into the areas of decarbonization, transport and adaptation to climate change. This is one of the findings of the study „What does a secure, liveable and sustainable future cost?„, which was presented by the think tank „Dezernat Zukunft“ on Monday.
