The German Green Party is advocating for more aggressive climate policies and increased funding for adaptation measures across various regions.

In Mainz, the party is pushing for climate neutrality by 2035 and opposing the construction of a new gas-powered engine plant, arguing that fossil fuel infrastructure is incompatible with their goals. They are calling for the termination of the ‘Zukunftskraftwerk’ project.

In Saarland, party leadership has criticized the state government, describing the allocated 5 million euros for a two-year climate adaptation program as ‘insufficient’ when compared to the 100 million euros planned for road construction. The party argues that more investment is required for urban greenery, heat protection, and flood prevention.
