Germany's CDU and SPD are placing climate policy back on the agenda during coalition talks.

Historically sidelined, the topic is now gaining traction, with the CDU's Klimaunion pushing for ambitious yet market-driven climate measures.

Their proposals include reinstating sector-specific emission targets and supporting the EU's climate goals.

Meanwhile, the SPD faces internal pressure to prioritize social climate policies, though their leadership remains less vocal on the issue.

Both parties are under scrutiny from the Greens, whose support is crucial for passing financial packages.

As climate concerns resurface, the coalition's ability to align on effective policies remains uncertain.
