Overview

  • Fridays for Future (FFF) has announced 100 nationwide protests over the first 100 days of the Merz government to push for urgent climate action.
  • The group is calling for the strengthening of the Climate Protection Act and the reinstatement of binding sectoral emissions targets to meet 2030 goals.
  • FFF demands immediate reforms in the transport and building sectors, including a revised Building Energy Act and an affordable Deutschlandticket.
  • The movement opposes the government's plan to tender 20 GW of new gas-fired power plants, urging a binding gas phase-out by 2035 instead.
  • The Merz government has restructured climate responsibilities by renaming the environment ministry and abolishing the international climate envoy position, drawing criticism from activists and experts.
