Climate concerns in Germany have been growing since 2013

Infografik of May 15, 2026

The infographic of the DIW Weekly Report 18-19/2026 presents data on climate concerns in Germany. It combines text statements with simple line graphics. At the top, the title indicates that climate concern has increased over time. A horizontal scale ranges from “low concerns” on the left to “serious concerns” on the right. One line chart shows that overall climate concern among respondents has risen steadily between 2010 and 2023. Another comparison illustrates differences by age and birth year. Accompanying text highlights two main findings: Climate concern tends to increase as people age over their lifetime. People born more recently (younger generations) show higher levels of concern about climate change than those born earlier. A concluding statement emphasizes that climate concerns in Germany have been rising since around 2013, especially among both younger and older population groups. The graphic uses simple lines and minimal color, with a clean layout focused on trends over time and generational differences.
