How do the parties in Darmstadt feel about climate protection? A questionnaire for the climate decision provides answers.
How do the parties in Darmstadt feel about climate protection? To find out, the Darmstadt climate decision asked parties and electoral associations 22 questions before the local elections – on topics that are relevant to energy policy and climate protection.
“On March 14th, the citizens will vote with their vote on the climate of the future as well as Darmstadt’s role and credibility in climate protection”, it says in a message.
The election test stones deal with the crucial questions from the perspective of the initiative. These range from the goal of climate neutrality by 2035 to the role of cyclists: inside to a possible photovoltaic obligation for new buildings. According to the climate decision, the questions go “far beyond the agendas described in the respective election programs”. The local offshoots of the Greens, SPD, Left and the pro-European Volt party did well in the “climate election check” – they “largely” agreed to the demands of the climate decision. The result of the Uffbasse voters ‘association and the Darmstadt voters’ association (WGD) is mixed. who “only partially agree” to the demands. For example, Uffbasse rejects the sanctioning of illegal parking on the sidewalk, a campaign for the climate-neutral renovation of private property and a model project to convert a neighborhood to renewable district heating.
The WGD is skeptical about many of the statements and “only partially agrees” with them, for example with Tempo 30 as the standard speed, protected bike lanes and the introduction of a greenhouse gas budget. The CDU and FDP do worst, however. Skepticism or rejection at 30 km / h, rejection of quarters with no through traffic and public parking spaces, rejection of a withdrawal of urban investments from fossil fuels – the list of demands that the FDP and CDU reject is long.
“Since the climate decision was rejected by the StaVo in autumn for formal reasons, the local elections are now more or less becoming a climate decision,” the initiators concluded. “Some parties have understood the need for action, some have not (yet) heard the bang,” says Björn Schulz, who initiated the climate decision. Parties and lists not listed would not have replied to the questions by the deadline. jon
