Forderungen des Klimarats der Bürger:innen 2022 auto-translated using AI

A non-partisan Climate Commission is to be established. This commission is to evaluate existing and new laws, regulations, and strategies for their climate effectiveness, suggest improvements, and formulate recommendations for measures to achieve climate goals. The Climate Commission has an advisory function. The results will be presented to the Parliament and the state parliaments. They must subsequently deal with them. The Climate Commission should also continuously evaluate and accompany the climate check provided for in the government program against the background of the latest scientific findings. The composition of the commission must be transparent, independent of party-political interests, and the result of a democratic process. Good examples from other countries (e.g., Sweden, United Kingdom Climate Change Committee) should be included. The commission must include experts from the scientific community and be linked to citizen participation processes such as the Climate Council.
