Andreas Jung, a key figure in CDU climate policy, has resigned from federal politics, coinciding with the approval of legislation promoting subsidies for new gas power plants and the reinstatement of oil and gas heating systems. These actions suggest a potential decline in climate protection efforts, despite a growing public interest in green technologies, such as heat pumps and electric vehicles. The ideological divide within the ruling coalition further complicates the climate agenda, as factions increasingly prioritize economic interests over environmental commitments.
