Given that it amplified already existing challenges, this crisis can be conceptualised as a case of positive feedback in the understanding of punctuated equilibrium theory (PET). One would have expected this crisis to provide a push for reforms in the areas of digitalisation, hospital and care policy, as these represent both the policy path taken by the Minister of Health at the beginning of the legislative period and a response to the problems caused by the pandemic. However, none of these areas were addressed in any significant way by health policymakers after the COVID-19 outbreak, leaving us to wonder why a shift in attention and positive feedback did not lead to major reforms. To answer this question, we link PET to the multiple streams framework (MSF) to explain why positive feedback has not led to major reforms in German health policy. We show that the policy stream – with a lack of measures ready for adoption – and the politics stream, with power struggles within parties and between levels of government, explain why major reforms have not been adopted.

The drought in the summer of 2018, the flood disaster of 2021, the climate protests of Fridays for Future throughout 2019 and also the decision of the Federal Constitutional Court on the Climate Protection Act of 2021 generated a great deal of attention for environmental and, above all, climate policy. On the contrary, the COVID 19 pandemic since March 2020 diverted public attention from environmental issues. All in all, however, the processes can largely be characterised as ‘business as usual' – with the usual conflicts of partisan, departmental, and interest politics, and an overall impact of EU policies. In terms of the policy results, the glass seems more ‘half full' than ‘half empty'. Some progress was made on insect protection and the circular economy, and the coal phase-out was finally initiated. In climate policy, however, there is still a gap in implementation despite clear progress, and there is also what can best be described as an ambition gap. Other issues remain to be fixed, for example in wind energy, animal welfare, and moorland protection.
