(Mo, 29 Sep 2025)
In 2024, Germany met its commitment for international cooperation on climate change mitigation and adaptation, as illustrated by the latest figures reported to the European Commission today. Germany's international climate finance last year totalled 11.8 billion euros, of which 6.1 billion euros came from the federal budget. This means that Germany has delivered on the international pledge it had made to provide at least six billion euros a year in budget funds for international climate finance. Moreover, Germany has been able to mobilise, for the first time, over one billion euros in private funding for investment in climate action.
