Twenty-seven youth organisations from the fields of climate, social affairs, trade unions, development, religion, civil protection, environment and sport parties competing in the February snap election in Germany to support a climate policy that is socially just and fair for all generations.

鈥淭he current political discussions about climate protection are backward-looking, increase uncertainty and are not appropriate to the extent of the climate crisis, which has long been noticeable,鈥� they said in a joint appeal.

The organisations, including youth chapters of church organisations, environmental NGOs and the activist group Fridays for Future, demanded more funds for climate action through a reform of Germany鈥檚 debt limit and higher taxes for the super wealthy. 鈥淭he dogmatic austerity policy of recent years and decades is not intergenerational justice,鈥� they said. The youth also called for prioritising investments in public transport, a gradual phase out of fossil fuels and the ambitious rollout of renewable energy sources.

In a landmark ruling in 2021, Germany鈥檚 constitutional court argued that weak German climate policy was unfair to young people and future generations, as it 鈥渋rreversibly offloaded major emission reduction burdens鈥� on them. The case had been brought on by youth climate activists and resulted in the German government pulling the target year for reaching greenhouse gas neutrality forward by five years, from 2050 to 2045.
