Germany's election results nearly settled, with the Christian Democratic Union / Christian Social Union (CDU/CSU), leading the race, as expected. However, despite winning, they did not secure an absolute majority and will need to form a coalition government.
While the new administration’s focus is not primarily on climate and energy issues, experts are urging for the swift formation of a new cabinet to ensure that policies can move forward, and Germany can maintain its influence on the international stage.
