Until now, the issues of climate, energy and the environment in German politics were clearly linked to the Greens. However, as they are unlikely to be part of the new federal government, the focus is now shifting to the climate politicians from the CDU/CSU and SPD. Officially, the parties are keeping quiet about who will be responsible for which issue in possible coalition negotiations. However, as the parties’ personnel roster for this topic is not exactly lavish, it is obvious who is likely to appear in the exploratory talks and negotiations on this topic.
