Climate protection is the topic of the coming years.

An initiative asked the Bundestag candidates how they want to approach climate protection.

These are their answers.

District

- Climate change is one of the, if not the most important, issue in the federal election campaign.

But how do the candidates from the district feel about it?

This is what the “Neubiberg Climate Neutral 2030” initiative wanted to know.

With its own “election climate check”, it has sounded out the political thrust of the direct candidates in terms of environmental policy.

Five candidates answered the initiative's questions: Florian Hahn (CSU), Anton Hofreiter (Greens), Korbinian Rüger (SPD), Gerhard Kißlinger (FW) and Yannick Rouault (ÖDP).

After all, it is particularly important in federal politics to comply with the 1.5 degree target of the Paris Climate Agreement.

The Bundestag member

Florian Hahn (CSU)

would like Germany to be more “greenhouse gas neutral” by 2045, Bavaria for five years.

A "triad of incentives, more commitment and an introduction to CO2 pricing is already working and will be continued," said Hahn.

Greens: "We want to implement real climate protection"

“We want to implement real climate protection,” says

Anton Hofreiter (Greens)

. “Start immediately with laws and funding programs” as soon as you start governing. They want and will "reignite the energy transition." Hofreiter also has a triad: "Annual expansion targets of 12 gigawatts (GW) for photovoltaics and 6 GW for onshore wind" should set it up. While Hahn is primarily "aiming for international climate cooperation", Hofreiter is betting on "a binding coal phase-out by 2030".

Korbinian Rüger (SPD)

wants to see the entire “way of life ecologically transformed”.

In particular, the rigid 10H distance rule for wind turbines must be "abolished".

Coal phase-out by 2038 and a falling electricity tax for consumers can be found in his portfolio.

To this end, the rail expansion must be "prioritized".

"Policy over the next five years will decide whether ..."

"Sustainability and climate protection as milestones in politics," stressed FW candidate

Gerhard Kißlinger in a

very general way: necessary political decisions are to be made - requirements of the courts are to be complied with.

Yannick Rouault (ÖDP)

wants to "introduce a kerosene tax" and promote a "lignite phase-out in 2030".

He can imagine “citizens' councils” as a control.

Whether the focus is on small town hall politics or on the federal government in Berlin - all political actors, as well as citizens and consumers, will not be able to ignore a sustainable environmental policy.

"Politics over the next five years will decide whether climate change can still be controlled," emphasizes the initiative in its résumé.
