Coalition Government in Germany Divided Over Climate Bill Amid Energy Crisis

  • Germany's coalition government is experiencing conflict over a climate change bill aimed at reducing emissions from buildings.
  • The bill has exposed cracks in the alliance between the Social Democrats, Greens, and Free Democrats.
  • The Greens want strict climate regulations, while the Free Democrats prefer market-based solutions.
  • Germany must meet climate commitments to the EU but the government is struggling to find common ground.
  • Dependence on fossil fuels has made the climate challenge more urgent, but also more politically fraught.
