Abstract: In many countries, stronger climate action is becoming less of a priority. After moderate declines in recent years, support for the energy transition in Germany has grown slightly again. According to the KfW Energy Transition Barometer, 83% of households consider the energy transition to be important or very important, up from 82% last year. In contrast, the share willing to take action themselves has dipped slightly to 59%. Overall, 13.5 million households (33%) use at least one green technology – an increase of around 800,000 households, or about two percentage points, on the previous year. Green technologies include for example heat pumps, photovoltaic systems and electric vehicles. Cost-effectiveness is crucial for uptake; rising fossil fuel prices under the EU-ETS2 could support future adoption.
