Germany 2026

Германия

Germany enters 2027 having cut its greenhouse-gas emissions to 649 Mt CO₂e in 2024, 3.4% below 2023 and 48% below 1990, while closing its last nuclear reactors in April 2023 and ending its reliance on Russian pipeline gas within a year. Renewables supplied about 54% of gross electricity consumption in 2024.

01 · Readings

Germany in six readings.

Six readings that frame the baseline, and the eight questions this edition answers, each with its status and source.

  • 83.6millionpopulation, end 2024 [6]
  • 649Mt CO₂eemissions, 2024 [1]
  • ≈54%renewable electricity, 2024 [7]
  • 10.9°Cmean temperature, 2024 record [8]
  • ≈54%homes with natural-hazard cover [13]
  • 500khectaresforest damaged, 2018–2021 [20]

02 · Sectors

Six sectors, one hexagon.

Water first, then Energy, Infrastructure, Food, Health and Biodiversity. Each count is the findings of this edition in that sector: coverage of the evidence, never a score. Infrastructure is not assessed: the edition holds no Infrastructure finding and its coupling matrix does not assess it.

  1. WATВода2 findings

    ≈44% Share of water abstraction for energy supply, 2019. Сообщённые данные

    Flash floods in small catchments; low Rhine water in dry summers; cooling the largest use.

  2. ENEЭнергетика2 findings

    ≈54% Renewable share of gross electricity consumption, 2024. Сообщённые данные

    About 54% renewable electricity; nuclear closed 2023; Russian gas replaced.

  3. INFИнфраструктураnot assessed

    Rail, roads and bridges destroyed in 2021; inland waterways exposed to low water.

  4. FOOПродовольствие0 findings

    ≈13% Share of EU agricultural output, 2024. Сообщённые данные

    A major EU producer; yields cut in dry years.

  5. HLTЗдравоохранение1 finding

    ≈4,500 deaths Heat-related deaths, 2022. Сообщённые данные

    About 4,500 heat-related deaths in 2022; older people most exposed.

  6. BIOБиоразнообразие2 findings

    >75% Decline in flying-insect biomass, protected areas, 1989–2016. Сообщённые данные

    Insect biomass down more than 75%; forests damaged 2018–2021.

Outside the six sectors: Climate forcing 3, Finance 1, Systemic 1.

03 · Hazard exposure

The hazards this edition reads.

The edition’s own risk objects, in its order, each read across driver, exposure, vulnerability, capacity, cascade and horizon. The hexagon marks the sectors the cascade reaches; the domain beside each is an editorial reading of its hazard words.

Scenario · SCN-DEU-HDR-01

Hot, dry summer with low Rhine water

Under this scenario, results describe a conditional season under stated assumptions. It is not a forecast, and no intervention described here has been carried out.

04 · Couplings

How the sectors carry risk into each other.

The Germany matrix types the twenty couplings between the five core системы. Strengths are Nexus estimates from the cited evidence and analogue events; they set the starting graph that the Q1 2027 Foundry cut will test.
