The current german gouvernment has agreed in its coalition agreement to introduce a "Klimageld" to compensate the social burden of carbon fees. Similar systems already exist in Austria and Switzerland.

The question resolves "yes" if and when a law is passed to distribute an equal-ish amount of money per person among the german population on a regular basis, at least yearly. It must be designed specifically to redistribute revenue from environment-related fees.

The question resolves "no" on the day of the next federal german election (26th of October 2025 at the latest), if no such law was passed by then.

The election is expected to be held on the 23. Febuary 2025; the close date has been adjusted accordingly.

"Habeck currently expects 2028". Seems questionable whether it's worth the effort, we should keep spending the money on heat pumps.

Klimageld: Österreicher bekommen es – Deutsche noch lange nicht
Die Idee ist die gleiche: Bürger bezahlen CO₂-Abgaben – und sollen dafür etwas zurückbekommen. Doch während in Österreich der sogenannte "Klimabonus" bereits ausgezahlt wird, warten die Menschen in Deutschland darauf. Woran liegt das?
