Habeck's Vision: Climate and Innovation

Published: 2025-02-12

German Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck is doubling down on climate action and innovation as key pillars of his political agenda.

In a recent Bundestag debate, Habeck emphasized the importance of climate protection, warning that Europe must lead or risk global setbacks.

However, critics argue that his focus on green policies has overshadowed Germany's economic struggles, including two years of recession and rising unemployment.

To address these challenges, Habeck has unveiled a "Future Agenda" ahead of the upcoming elections.

The plan includes a National Education Pact, a 25% reduction in bureaucracy within four years, and a €50 billion investment in artificial intelligence.

He also aims to reform the capital market to support disruptive technologies and boost economic growth.

Despite these ambitious proposals, the Greens face declining poll numbers, raising questions about their influence in the next government.
