What are the immediate implications of the Green Party's opposition to Germany's proposed €500 billion investment plan?

The German federal government's plan for €500 billion in infrastructure and military investment faces opposition from Green Party politicians in three state governments.

This opposition jeopardizes the plan's passage through the Bundesrat.

What are the immediate implications of the coalition talks' marginal treatment of climate protection for Germany's climate commitments?
