Germany is the second-largest receiver of Just Transition Fund money (€2.3 billion), after Poland (€3.5 billion). Germany will also obtain structural funds money (€18.4 billion, including the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund and the Cohesion Fund) and €22.7 billion in grants from the Recovery and Resilience Facility.
Germanwatch and Environmental Action Germany (DUH), have criticised the lack of ambition of the national Recovery plan, as well as the lack of involvement of environmental NGOs in the decision-making process.
