Citizens’ Climate Assembly (Germany) Bürgerrat Klima

The Citizens’ Climate Assembly aims to craft a path toward a climate-friendly way of living and doing business. In a non-partisan and open space, the citizens discuss how the climate goals of the Paris Agreement can be reached ecologically (sustainable for the environment), economically (good for our economy) and socially (fair for all). After all, effective climate protection only works if everyone participates! At the end of the Citizens’ Assembly, the participants will all vote on the recommendations, which will then be summarized in a Citizens’ Report. After the federal elections, this Citizens’ Report will be handed over to the parties in the German Bundestag. This way, the recommendations can be taken into account in the upcoming coalition negotiations. The Citizens’ Climate Assembly is the third nationwide citizens’ assembly in Germany. This has resulted in the four areas of action in which recommendations for climate protection measures are being developed: Transportation, Buildings and heat, Energy production, and Food.
