CLEW Webinar: Staying on track? What's next for climate and energy in Germany and Europe in 2026

CLEW Webinar: Staying on track? What's next for climate and energy in Germany and Europe in 2026 c.kyllmann Tue, 20 Jan 2026 - 17:00 28 January 2026 at 16.00-17.00 CET Berlin Everyone 2026 is shaping up to be a decisive year for climate and energy policy in Germany and across Europe. Key decisions on electricity market reform and the decarbonisation of industry, transport and buildings will determine whether Europe's largest economy can stay on track to reach climate neutrality by 2045. Political shifts could prove decisive: Far-right populists are already slowing or blocking projects at the local level, a trend that may intensify following regional elections. At the EU level, negotiations on the budget, emissions trading and the post-2030 climate policy framework will set the pace of decarbonisation well beyond this decade. Webinar In this one-hour webinar, open to all, the CLEW newsroom will discuss the key climate and energy issues facing Germany and Europe in 2026. The focus will be on the German governmentтАЩs policy priorities, open questions in EU climate and energy governance, and the political and economic factors shaping implementation on the ground. We're looking forward to your questions and a lively discussion.

CLEW Webinar: Staying on track? What's next for climate and energy in Germany and Europe in 2026

2026 is poised to be a pivotal year for climate and energy policy in Germany and across Europe. Decisions on electricity market reform and the decarbonization of industry, transport, and buildings will shape whether Europe's largest economy can remain on track to achieve climate neutrality by 2045. Political shifts, including the growing influence of far-right populists, could pose significant challenges, particularly as regional elections may intensify their impact on local projects. At the EU level, negotiations on the budget, emissions trading, and the post-2030 climate policy framework will set the pace for decarbonization efforts well beyond this decade.

In response to these critical developments, the CLEW newsroom is hosting a one-hour webinar open to all, titled "Staying on track? What's next for climate and energy in Germany and Europe in 2026." The event will take place on January 28, 2026, from 16:00 to 17:00 CET in Berlin. The webinar will delve into the key climate and energy issues facing Germany and Europe, focusing on the German government's policy priorities, open questions in EU climate and energy governance, and the political and economic factors influencing ground-level implementation.

The webinar will begin with a welcome and introduction by moderator Milou Dirkx of Clean Energy Wire. Following this, experts will provide insights on several topics, including government performance, state elections, and the impact of the far-right AfD party. Benjamin Wehrmann will discuss renewable energy reform, while S├╢ren Amelang will address industry transformation and the role of automotive manufacturers. Carolina Kyllmann will explore the challenges posed by the heating law and power supply security, and Julian Wettengel will provide an overview of EU 2026 climate and energy priorities.

The webinar will conclude with a Q&A session and open discussion, allowing attendees to engage with the speakers and participate in a lively exchange of ideas. This event serves as an opportunity for stakeholders, policymakers, and the public to understand the complexities of climate and energy policy in Germany and Europe, and to explore potential solutions for the challenges ahead.

As 2026 unfolds, the decisions made in the coming months will have a lasting impact on Europe's ability to meet its climate goals. The webinar aims to provide a platform for informed discussion and analysis, ensuring that all voices are heard as the continent navigates this critical juncture. With political shifts and economic factors shaping the landscape, it is more important than ever to stay informed and engaged in the ongoing debate about the future of climate and energy policy in Germany and Europe.
