The defence budget figure of EUR 50.5 billion refers to 2025, while the climate/green investment figure of EUR 53 billion refers to the 2024 budget.
The green investment figure (EUR 53 billion) includes all environmentally-related expenditures, not solely dedicated 'climate policy' spending.
The climate figure is actually slightly higher (EUR 53 billion) than the EUR 50 billion claimed, while the defence figure (EUR 50.5 billion) matches closely.
The 2025 green transition budget was reduced by EUR 1.4 billion according to reports, indicating potential downward trend in climate spending.
