Alternative for Germany (AfD)

The right-wing party Alternative for Germany (AfD) questions that climate change is mainly caused by humans, wants the country to exit the Paris Climate Agreement and abolish the recently adopted Climate Action Plan 2050, according to the first draft of its campaign programme for the upcoming federal elections. Other provisions:

  • the Renewable Energy Act (EEG) should be 鈥渃ancelled without replacement鈥
  • existing nuclear power stations should not go offline before the end of their 鈥渢echnical operating life鈥
  • Germany should participate in international nuclear power research projects to 鈥渕aintain nuclear expertise鈥
  • 鈥渨ind power is an energy policy aberration, economically absurd and ecologically counter-productive鈥
  • e-mobility must develop within the market economy 鈥渓ike every technology鈥
  • abolish environmental zones (in cities) as they 鈥渧erifiably did not reduce particulate emissions鈥
