Water & Climate
Challenges for Environment and Supply Security
Clean water, protection against extreme weather and affordable energy supply are among the most pressing challenges for the future. The 2025 coalition agreement responds with ambitious goals: investments in climate-resilient water infrastructure, the accelerated expansion of renewable energy, and an increasing focus on efficiency and circular economy — all aimed at strengthening the environment, the economy and society.
Cross-Sector Strategies & Technologies
At the heart of this is the integration of water, climate and energy issues: intelligent systems for wastewater treatment, heat recovery, groundwater protection and rainwater management are now combined with strategies for energy storage, grid integration and low-emission supply. Modern technologies — from digitally controlled wastewater facilities to decentralised energy systems — are creating new synergies between technical, ecological and social demands.
Political Frameworks & Collaboration
On the regulatory side, the focus is on clear guidelines, faster planning processes and targeted funding. The planned Infrastructure for the Future Act and the €500 billion special fund will provide the financial framework for this transformation. At the same time, cross-sector collaboration is becoming increasingly important — between municipalities, research, industry and politics.
