Lisa Hildegard Badum (born 2 October 1983) is a German politician of Alliance 90/The Greens. She has been a member of the Bundestag since the 2017 German federal election, after two failed attempts. [1]
From 2003 to 2010, Badum studied political science at the University of Bamberg. [2]
From 1990 to 1994, Badum attended the Anna primary school in Forchheim. [3] After graduating from the local Ehrenbürg-Gymnasium in 2003, she began studying political science at the Otto Friedrich University of Bamberg in the same year, which she successfully completed in 2010. [3] [4] [5] She spent two semesters of her studies in Thessaloniki, Greece. [3] [4] Badum is a Roman Catholic. [6]
Badum joined Bündnis 90/Die Grünen in 2005 [7] via the Green University Group and Ursula Sowa, a member of the Bundestag. She has been a district councillor for the district of Forchheim since May 2008. [8] She has been a member of the extended state executive committee since 2012 and a spokesperson for the state working group for women since 2014. [6] From 2010 to autumn 2013, Badum worked as a research assistant in the constituency office of MP Uwe Kekeritz in Fürth. [6] From 2012 until her election to the Bundestag in 2017, she worked in citizen energy at the green energy supplier Naturstrom. [4] From 2016 to 2018, she was district chairwoman of the Greens in Upper Franconia. [9] In December 2008, she was nominated as a Green direct candidate for the 2009 Bundestag election for constituency 236 (Bamberg-Forchheim). She was elected 15th on the Bavarian state list but failed to enter the Bundestag. [6] [10] She failed to do so in the 2013 federal election, coming 13th on the state list. [6] Badum has been a member of the German Bundestag since the 2017 elections. She stood for election in the Bamberg constituency and was elected via her party's statewide list. [10]
In parliament, Badum has since been serving on the Committee on the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety. She is a deputy member of the Committee on Economic Affairs and Energy. [6] [8] She is also her parliamentary group's spokesperson on climate policy. [11] [12]
In the 2021 Bundestag elections, she re-entered the German Bundestag in 8th place on the state list. [13] She is chairwoman of the Committee on Climate Action and Energy [14] and a deputy member of the Committee on Economic Affairs and the Committee on Foreign Affairs. [6] Since April, Badum has been chairwoman of the Subcommittee on International Climate and Energy Policy. [15] Since October 2021, Badum has been President of the Association of German-Greek Societies. [16] She is also the founder and Chair of the Parliamentary Group for Brewing Culture. [17] [18] [19] Since 2022, she has been chairing the Subcommittee on International Climate and Energy Policy. [20]
For Badum, the fight against the climate crisis is a global and intergenerational challenge. [5] Her particular focus is on the socially just implementation of the Paris climate targets, whereby she sees an ambitious coal phase-out plan and the promotion of renewable energies as decisive steps. [5] She criticised the coal phase-out decided by the grand coalition and called for more transparency and a more timely phase-out. [21] Badum is also involved in gender equality, [22] climate money, [23] and the Climate Protection Act issues. [24]
In addition to her work at the federal level, Badum is committed to a fair energy transition at the local level and emphasises the close connection between climate protection and local design. [5] One of her main focuses here was on the abolition of the 10-H rule in Bavaria, as she believes that this makes the expansion of wind energy more difficult. [25] Badum is also committed to the conversion of part of the Steigerwald Nature Park into a national park. [26] [27] At European level, Badum is in favour of the most ambitious climate protection package possible to meet the 1.5-degree target and a comprehensive CO2 border adjustment mechanism (CBAM). [28] She spoke out against the inclusion of nuclear energy and gas in the EU taxonomy. [29] In a global context, Badum warns of the consequences of the climate crisis, [30] which exacerbates existing crises and social injustice [31] and calls for more climate justice. [31] Badum criticises the offer by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to support Senegal in the planned exploitation of gas fields off its coast. [32]
She is a member and on the board of the Steigerwald National Park Association. [27] 2014, she has been a member of the board of the association ‘Bürgerenergie Bayern e. V.’, which campaigns for the expansion of renewable energies through a citizen-centred energy transition [6] [7] and for the decoupling of economic growth and greenhouse gases as well as for a CO2 price.
