What do the parties in Schleswig-Holstein say on climate and energy?

The CDU wants to expand coastal and flood protection because it expects more frequent extreme weather due to climate change. A water strategy is also meant to prepare the state for heavy rain and heat.

Climate change brings more storms, heavy rain, and heat. So the CDU wants to protect the coasts better. It also wants to do more against floods. There should be a plan for dealing with water.

The CDU wants to promote heating with renewable energy in residential neighborhoods and industry, moving closer to climate neutrality by 2045. Electricity for heat pumps is to be freed from levies, and revenue from carbon pricing is to flow back to citizens.

The CDU wants homes to be heated with clean energy. There should be funding for this. Power for heat pumps should get cheaper. People should get back the money from the carbon price.

The CDU wants to rely less on insulation in older buildings and pay more attention to how heat is generated. Buildings are to be retrofitted only as far as is economically sensible, combined with a switch to renewable heat.

The CDU does not want to only insulate old houses. What you heat with should matter more. Renovation should not cost too much. Clean heating should come on top.

The CDU wants towns and cities everywhere to draw up heating and cooling plans to make local heat supply climate neutral. The state is to support them. According to the platform, existing gas networks can also be used for climate-neutral gases such as hydrogen.

Every town should make a plan for heating and cooling. The plan shows how to heat without harming the climate. The state should help the towns. Old gas pipes can carry hydrogen later.

The CDU wants to expand training and continuing education in energy professions, especially building energy consulting. It also plans an information campaign on renewable heat and a new competence center for heat supply.

The CDU wants to train more people for energy jobs. A campaign should inform people about clean heating and funding. A center for heat supply should also be set up. It will offer expert knowledge.

The CDU wants to fund research that removes already emitted CO2 from the air and uses it as a raw material. This is meant to go beyond the goal of climate neutrality by 2045.

There is already a lot of CO2 in the air. The CDU wants to pay for research that takes CO2 back out. The CO2 can then be turned into new things. Examples are plastics or jet fuel.

The CDU stands by the Paris Agreement and wants Schleswig-Holstein to be climate neutral by 2045; state-owned buildings are to get there by 2040. The path is to rely mainly on technology-neutral innovation and to be ecologically, socially, and economically acceptable.

The CDU wants to protect the climate. Schleswig-Holstein should be climate neutral by 2045. That means the state adds no more CO2 overall. State buildings should manage this by 2040. New technology should help.

The CDU wants to work out a strategy for adapting to climate change together with the state-level municipal associations. It justifies this with extreme weather, whose effects it says are already being felt.

The climate is already changing. There is more heavy rain and more heat. The CDU wants to prepare the state for this. It wants to make a plan together with the towns.

The CDU wants a fundamental reform of taxes, levies, surcharges, and grid fees in the energy sector and relies on a moderately rising carbon price. Emissions trading is to cover as many sectors as possible, and carbon-free electricity is to become cheaper.

Whoever emits CO2 should pay for it. This price should rise slowly. Clean electricity should get cheaper in return. The CDU wants to reorganize the charges on energy. The EEG surcharge should go away.

The CDU wants to build a hydrogen economy in the state, advance energy storage, and press the federal government to expand power lines to the south. The costs of the energy transition, especially for distribution grids, are to be shared more fairly nationwide.

Schleswig-Holstein makes a lot of power from wind and sun. The CDU wants to make hydrogen from it too. There should be more power lines and storage. The costs should be shared more fairly across Germany.

The CDU wants to make solar power more attractive on roofs, facades and in rental buildings, and plans a solar strategy for the state. Ground-mounted arrays should mainly go on contaminated or sealed land, while high-quality farmland stays reserved for agriculture.

The CDU wants more power from the sun. Solar panels on your own roof should pay off. This also applies to buildings with many apartments. Large solar fields should not be built on good farmland.

The CDU wants to keep supporting biogas plants, especially those that supply electricity, heat and biomethane at once. It also wants a scientific study of the geothermal potential in Schleswig-Holstein.

The CDU wants to keep supporting biogas plants. These plants make power and heat from crops and manure. Researchers should also check how much heat from the ground the state can use.

The CDU wants to push at the federal level for binding planning and faster construction of wind farms off the state's coasts. More of the value created and revenue from this expansion should stay in Schleswig-Holstein.

The CDU wants more wind turbines at sea. The federal government should plan them firmly and build them fast. Schleswig-Holstein should earn more money from this.

The CDU wants to make full use of the priority zones for wind power and gain additional sites by reassessing areas that were previously ruled out. Minimum distances to homes are to stay unchanged. Citizen-owned wind farms are to be strengthened.

The CDU wants to allow more wind turbines on land. It wants to check again areas that were turned down before. The distance to homes should stay the same. The CDU wants to give more support to wind farms owned by citizens.

The CDU wants to simplify permitting for facilities that generate or transport renewable energy. Electricity, gas and hydrogen grids are to be expanded and converted faster.

The CDU wants to make permits for energy facilities easier. Lines for power, gas and hydrogen should be built faster. The agencies should have enough staff for this.

The CDU wants the coal-fired power plant in Wedel taken off the grid as early as possible. A dedicated state strategy is to be drawn up for dismantling the nuclear power plants in the state.

The CDU wants to shut down the coal power plant in Wedel as fast as possible. There should be a plan for taking apart the nuclear power plants in the state.

The CDU wants to fund energy storage to balance supply and demand for renewable power. Households and small businesses are to receive support for battery storage and heat pumps combined with a solar system.

The CDU wants to support power storage. Households and small firms should get money for battery storage and heat pumps. This applies if they have or build a solar system. The CDU also wants to bring a large battery factory to the state.

The CDU wants to advance the hydrogen economy in the state and keep supporting the energy hubs in Heide, Brunsbüttel and Itzehoe. Brunsbüttel's port is to become a terminal for renewable fuels, and a hydrogen transport network from Hamburg to Oslo is to be created.

The CDU wants more green hydrogen in the state. Green hydrogen is a gas made with clean power. The port in Brunsbüttel should become a hub for clean fuels. Pipelines should carry hydrogen from Hamburg to Oslo.

The FDP wants to build up and promote the state's west coast as a location for technology, production, and research around renewable energy. It sees renewable energy generation as a growth driver because companies increasingly choose their locations on that basis.

The FDP wants to strengthen the west coast of the state. A lot of wind power is made there. Hydrogen should also be made there in large amounts. The FDP hopes this will bring new companies to the region.

The FDP does not want energy requirements for residential buildings to be raised further and wants existing rules reviewed. It rejects mandatory photovoltaic systems on residential buildings. According to the platform, small energy savings come at high additional cost.

The FDP does not want stricter energy rules for homes. It also wants to review today's rules. Nobody should be forced to put solar panels on the roof. The FDP says strict rules make building too expensive.

The FDP commits to the Paris climate targets and wants to reach them through innovation, competition and openness to all technologies rather than bans. Public administration is to lead the way before obligations are placed on citizens and businesses.

The FDP wants to protect the climate. It wants to use new technology for this and no bans. The state should act first. Only then should citizens and companies get duties. Climate protection should stay affordable for people.

The FDP wants energy policy to be guided more by security concerns and aims for Germany and Europe to supply their own energy. To that end, the liquefied natural gas terminal in Brunsbüttel is to be built quickly, and energy affordability is to get more weight.

The FDP wants a secure supply of energy. Germany and Europe should be able to supply themselves. A terminal for liquid gas should be built quickly in Brunsbüttel. Energy should stay affordable.

The FDP wants to cut the electricity tax to the EU minimum, exempt energy storage from levies and surcharges, and make grid fees uniform nationwide. Grid expansion is to keep pace with the expansion of renewable energy.

The FDP wants to cut the tax on electricity sharply. Energy storage should no longer pay levies. Power grids should grow together with wind and solar energy. Grid costs should be shared equally across Germany.

The FDP wants to expand wind power so that the targets of the state's existing energy transition and climate protection law are met. Replacing old turbines with more powerful ones should become easier, including outside designated priority areas. Distance rules for homes would stay in place, and the party rejects turbines in forests.

The FDP wants more electricity from wind. Old wind turbines should be easier to replace with new, stronger ones. This is called repowering. The distance to homes should stay the same. There should be no wind turbines in forests.

The FDP rejects a solar panel mandate for residential buildings and wants to leave the decision to owners. Instead, simpler rules on taxation, billing and registration are meant to create incentives. Municipalities would continue to decide on ground-mounted solar sites.

The FDP does not want a rule that forces solar panels onto homes. Owners should decide for themselves. Taxes and registration should become simpler. People who use their own solar power should pay fewer charges.

The FDP wants a review of whether nuclear plants still running and those shut down recently can operate longer, in order to secure the energy supply and avoid dependencies. It also wants to give more support to nuclear fusion. Interim storage sites at the plants must not become permanent repositories.

The FDP wants to check whether nuclear power plants can run longer. This includes plants that were shut down only recently. The goal is enough energy for Germany. The party also wants to support nuclear fusion. That is a new way of producing energy.

The FDP wants to speed up the development of the hydrogen economy and make hydrogen a pillar of the energy system. This includes implementing the state strategy, integrated grid planning and a European Hydrogen Union. Methanol is also to receive much stronger support as an energy carrier.

The FDP wants to use hydrogen sooner. Hydrogen is a gas that can store energy. Old natural gas pipelines should be able to carry hydrogen. The party also wants more support for methanol. Methanol is a liquid that holds a lot of energy.

The FDP wants climate protection to take priority in the case of listed historic buildings. The state's heritage protection law would be amended so that owners may install solar panels and carry out energy-efficiency conversions.

Some old buildings are protected as monuments. Changes to them are often difficult. The FDP wants to allow solar panels on these buildings. The owners should decide for themselves. Changes that save energy should also be possible.

The Greens want to declare 2023 the year of climate education and introduce a statewide climate project week at daycare centers and schools. Climate education is to be part of every curriculum. The platform argues that knowledge and dialogue are needed to understand the climate crisis.

Children and young people should learn more about the climate. In 2023 there should be a climate project week at daycare centers and schools. Climate should be a topic in all curricula. This also applies to vocational schools.

The Greens want to work with private and public players on a plan for how the culture, events and film sector can become climate neutral. The reason given is the sector's share in greenhouse gas emissions.

Concerts, films and festivals also harm the climate. The Greens want to make a plan for this. The culture sector should help write it. In the end, the sector should no longer harm the climate.

The Greens want major sporting events to be climate-neutral and sustainable by 2030 at the latest. Olympic and Paralympic Games in the state would only be possible with a climate-friendly concept and a public referendum.

Big sports events should no longer harm the climate. This should apply by 2030. Visitors should be able to get there without a car. People should vote on whether the Olympic Games come to the state.

The Greens want to create a scientific sustainability council attached to the state parliament. It would track the state's progress on its climate and sustainability goals and propose steps when the state falls behind. The existing sustainability check would also apply to parliamentary initiatives.

The Greens want a council for sustainability at the state parliament. Experts from science sit on this council. They check whether the state reaches its climate goals. They make proposals when the state is too slow.

The Greens want Schleswig-Holstein to be climate neutral by 2035 at the latest, earlier than federal law requires. Climate and species protection would take priority when policy trade-offs are made. A fixed remaining CO2 budget would become the yardstick for all state policy.

The Greens want Schleswig-Holstein to be climate neutral by 2035. Climate neutral means the state no longer harms the climate. Climate and species protection should come first in decisions. The state should only be allowed to emit a fixed amount of CO2.

The Greens want to define climate protection as a public interest and add it as a goal to the state constitution. The program justifies this with the aim of securing a livable future for all generations.

The Greens want to write climate protection into the state constitution. The constitution is the most important law of the state. Climate protection should count as an interest of everyone. This way later generations can also live well.

The Greens want to review all state funding programs for compatibility with climate protection. State subsidies that harm the climate would end. In addition, the state development plan and regional plans should be easier to adjust quickly.

The Greens want to check all state funding. Money for things that harm the climate should stop. The plans for how the state develops should also be easier to change quickly.

The Greens want the state administration to set an example on climate protection. State buildings would get emission-free heat and electricity by 2035 instead of 2040. The administration's vehicles would be emission-free by 2030.

The Greens want the state administration to be a model for climate protection. Its buildings should get heat and power without emissions from 2035. Until now the plan was 2040. The administration's cars should run without emissions by 2030.

The Greens want to launch climate partnerships between municipalities in Schleswig-Holstein and municipalities in the Global South and provide resources for them. The state itself would also enter a partnership with another country. A state fund would finance the projects.

The Greens want climate partnerships with poorer countries. Towns in Schleswig-Holstein would then work together with places there. The state should get a partner too. A state fund should pay for the projects.

The Greens demand that shipping be brought into the emissions trading system. An EU innovation fund is to cushion the cost of new propulsion systems, and a European plan for the shift to emission-free shipping is to be drawn up.

Ships give off exhaust gases. The Greens want ships to pay for that. This is called emissions trading. An EU fund should help pay for new engines. The EU should make a plan for clean ships.

The Greens want to update the Generalplan Küstenschutz (coastal protection master plan) and develop a "Niederungen 2100" lowlands strategy. Building in flood-prone areas is to be avoided where possible. The platform cites rising sea levels and extreme weather.

The sea is rising and storm floods are getting worse. The Greens want to protect the coasts better. There should be a new plan for low-lying areas. People should no longer build where water can reach.

The Greens want a state program to adapt cities to the changed climate, for example with green facades and unsealed ground. A advisory service for municipalities and a state heat protection action plan are to be added.

The Greens want more green in the cities. Plants should grow on house walls. The ground should soak up more rain. That protects against heavy rain. A plan should protect people from strong heat.

The Greens want a faster phase-out of coal power and other fossil energy sources. Schleswig-Holstein is to contribute more than its proportional share to Germany's energy supply and expand power grids and storage with foresight.

The Greens want to stop using coal, oil and gas sooner. Schleswig-Holstein should deliver a lot of green power for Germany. This needs more power lines and storage. Nature should stay protected.

The Greens want to raise the target for onshore renewable electricity to 45 to 50 terawatt-hours by 2030. By 2040, the state's entire energy demand for electricity, heat and transport is to come from renewable sources. The targets are to be set down in the state's Energy Transition and Climate Protection Act.

The Greens want the state to make much more green power. By 2030 it should be 45 to 50 terawatt-hours. That is a unit for a very large amount of power. By 2040 all energy in the state should be renewable. These goals should be written into a law.

The Greens want as many people in the state as possible to benefit from the energy transition. To that end, the Bürgerenergiefonds (citizen energy fund) is to grow, and citizen-owned wind and solar parks are to get help with financing and permits. According to the program, this creates local value and acceptance.

The Greens want citizens to take part in the energy transition. Citizens should be able to build their own wind and solar parks more easily. The state has a fund for this. This fund should get bigger. Renters should also be able to use their own solar power more easily.

The Greens want to help municipalities build their own structures for climate protection. In addition, more pilot projects are to become possible in which municipalities or citizen cooperatives supply electricity and heat themselves.

The Greens want to help towns and villages protect the climate. There should be climate offices and climate officers there. Towns and citizen groups should be able to offer power and heat themselves. A new prize should honor good ideas for protecting nature.

The Greens want to expand onshore wind power beyond the 10 gigawatts agreed so far, with 15 gigawatts as the next interim target. To do this, new sites are to be found and additional priority areas designated.

The Greens want more wind turbines on land. The goal so far is 10 gigawatts of capacity. The new goal is 15 gigawatts. The state will look for new sites. Single turbines and very small wind parks should also be allowed.

The Greens want faster permits for wind turbines and easier replacement of old turbines with new ones (repowering). Technology such as collision warning systems is meant to make wind power and species protection more compatible.

The Greens want wind turbines to get permits faster. The authorities should get more staff. Old turbines should be easier to replace with new ones. Technology should protect birds from the turbines.

The Greens want every suitable roof in the state to carry a solar installation. A solar mandate is to apply to all new buildings; existing buildings are to be retrofitted when ownership changes or the roof undergoes major renovation.

The Greens want solar panels on all suitable roofs. Anyone who builds a new house must put solar panels on the roof. Old houses should get panels when they are sold or the roof is renewed. People with little money should get help. The party also wants more support for balcony solar panels.

The Greens consider ground-mounted solar installations necessary and want to leave site selection with the municipalities. The installations are also meant to offer habitats for animals and plants and to be combined with farming.

The Greens also want solar panels on open land. Towns and villages should keep deciding on the sites themselves. Animals and plants should be able to live under the panels. On some sites, farmers should grow crops or keep sheep at the same time.

The Greens want to switch biogas plants from corn to residues, manure and flower strips. The plants are mainly meant to balance fluctuations in wind and solar power. According to the program, freed-up corn fields could be used for solar energy, organic farming, biodiversity or forest.

Biogas plants need a lot of corn today. The Greens want to change that. The plants should use manure and leftovers. They should deliver power when wind and sun are missing. Other things can then grow on the corn fields.

The Greens consider expanding and building new power lines indispensable for meeting climate targets. All federal states are to speed up grid expansion; burdens on residents and nature are to be kept low through transparency and dialogue.

Green power has to get to where people need it. So the Greens want to build more power lines. All federal states should get faster at this. The party wants to talk openly with residents. The Wadden Sea should be spared.

The Greens want to develop Schleswig-Holstein into a central location for producing, importing and trading green hydrogen in Northern Europe. Hydrogen is to be used specifically where other renewables cannot be used directly, such as in industry and in heavy-duty transport, shipping and aviation.

Green hydrogen is a gas made with green power. The Greens want to make and trade a lot of it in the state. Factories, ships, planes and heavy trucks should use it. The state should help factories switch with money.

The Greens want to create a separate network for transporting hydrogen. To do so, natural gas pipelines, storage sites and consuming facilities are to be converted or replaced with new ones. A uniform "H2-ready" standard is to define when facilities can run on pure green hydrogen right away.

Hydrogen needs its own pipelines and storage. The Greens want to convert old natural gas pipelines or build new ones. Hydrogen plants should be located in the north. There should be a clear rule for when a facility is ready for hydrogen.

The Greens want to clearly exceed the federal target of 50 percent renewable heat by 2030. About 4 percent of buildings are to get energy upgrades each year. Tenant protection and targeted subsidies are meant to keep people from falling into social hardship as a result.

Heating uses half of the energy in the state. The Greens want more heat from renewable sources. Each year about 4 out of 100 buildings should be renovated. This should also lower heating costs. Renters should be protected.

The Greens want to amend the state's Energy Transition and Climate Protection Act again and make climate action mandatory for all municipalities. Every municipality would have to draw up a heat plan. Regional climate agencies and new funds are meant to help.

The Greens want all towns and villages to protect the climate. Each one must make a plan for its heat supply. New advice centers will help small villages most of all. The state will provide money for this.

The Greens want local and district heating networks to stop using fossil fuels by 2035 at the latest. New housing areas should as a rule be planned with carbon-neutral local heating. Solar thermal and geothermal energy are to play a major role.

The Greens want heating networks without oil, gas and coal. This should be done by 2035. New housing areas should get climate-friendly heat. Heat from the sun and from the ground should be used more.

The Greens want new buildings to meet at least the Effizienzhaus 40 standard and renovations to aim for Effizienzhaus 55. At the federal level they want to ensure that no oil or gas-only heating systems are installed from 2023 on. The platform points to the long service life of heating systems.

The Greens want houses that save energy. New houses should need very little energy. From 2023, nobody should install new oil heaters or gas-only heaters. The state should support heat pumps.

The Greens want to push at the federal level for grid expansion costs to be shared nationwide, so that electricity in Schleswig-Holstein is not more expensive than elsewhere. The power market should work with flexible prices, and surplus power should be usable locally. At the same time, energy use should fall.

Power grids cost money. The Greens want to share these costs equally across Germany. Power prices should follow supply. Spare wind power should be used in the state. Everyone should use less energy.

The Greens see Schleswig-Holstein as a hub for electricity and hydrogen in the North Sea and Baltic region. They want to pursue an active European energy policy with neighboring countries and step up the exchange on renewable energy.

Schleswig-Holstein lies between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. The Greens want to work more closely with neighbor countries on energy. The state should pass on power and hydrogen. Hydrogen is a gas that stores energy.

The Greens reject an LNG terminal in Schleswig-Holstein and the start-up of Nord Stream 2. New projects that harm the climate should receive no state money. In the platform's view, fossil energy infrastructure has no future.

The Greens do not want a terminal for liquid gas in the state. The gas pipeline Nord Stream 2 should not start. The state should give no money to projects that harm the climate. Other energy sources should be looked at instead.

The Greens want the state's three shut-down nuclear power plants dismantled swiftly and completely. They reject a return to nuclear energy, which they consider expensive and dangerous. A memorial site is to preserve the history of the conflicts over nuclear power.

The state has three nuclear plants that are switched off. The Greens want to take them down quickly and safely. They do not want new nuclear power. A place should remind people of the fight over nuclear power.

The Greens want to scale back and end oil and gas extraction in the state. They reject new oil drilling, fracking and the underground storage of CO2 (CCS). The royalty on crude oil is to rise in order to create an environmental steering effect.

The Greens want to stop producing oil and gas in the state. There should be no new oil drilling. Companies should pay the state more for the oil they pump. Oil production in the Wadden Sea should end soon.

The Greens want urban development to be more ecological and cities to be prepared for the effects of the climate crisis. This includes more greenery, less car traffic and conversion into sponge cities.

Cities should get ready for the climate crisis. There should be more trees and green spaces. Some cities should be able to soak up rainwater better. This is called a sponge city. Fewer cars should be on the road.

The Greens want to measure all of the state's fiscal decisions against sustainability goals and the 1.5-degree target. Investments and funding programs are to be checked in advance for their climate impact, and a fixed share of the budget is to go to climate protection.

The Greens want the state's money to follow climate goals. The state should check first whether spending helps the climate. Spending that harms the climate should go down. At least 5 percent of the budget should go to climate protection.

The Greens want to oblige all public companies in the state to publish sustainability reports. These are to be linked to a sustainability strategy and measures to reach climate neutrality by 2035. State-owned companies would also have to draw up a common-good balance sheet.

Some companies belong to the state or to towns. They should report how sustainably they work. For example, they should state their CO2 emissions. They should be climate neutral by 2035. That means they no longer harm the climate.

The SPD wants to make Schleswig-Holstein climate neutral by 2040, the first German state to get there. A climate plan would set out all necessary steps, backed by a binding CO2 budget aligned with the 1.5-degree target.

The SPD wants Schleswig-Holstein to be climate neutral by 2040. That means the state no longer harms the climate. There would be a climate plan. A fixed limit would say how much CO2 is still allowed. Experts would check this.

The SPD wants to greatly accelerate and broaden the expansion of renewable energy, arguing that electricity demand will rise. In the next legislative term, at least two percent of the state's land area is to be used for wind power.

The SPD wants more power from wind and other clean sources. Two percent of the state's land should be for wind turbines. Old turbines should be replaced with new, stronger ones. Offices should approve projects faster and get more staff.

The SPD wants everyone in the state to be able to afford rooftop solar. A state program for 100,000 roofs would supplement federal funding and mainly help households with little money. Tenants should not be worse off than homeowners.

The SPD wants more solar panels on roofs. People with little money should be able to get them too. The SPD plans a support program for 100,000 roofs. Tenants should also benefit from cheap solar power.

The SPD wants to require solar panels on new buildings and new parking lots. All suitable state-owned buildings would be fitted with photovoltaics. The party wants to steer ground-mounted solar with statewide criteria.

Anyone who builds a new house should have to put solar panels on the roof. The same should apply to new parking lots. State buildings should get solar panels too. There should be clear rules for solar panels on open land.

The SPD wants to introduce EU-style energy communities in the state and promote citizen-owned wind and solar parks. It opposes selling these parks to energy corporations from outside the region. Jobs, investment and tax revenue should stay in the state.

Citizens should be able to own a share of wind and solar parks. The SPD wants to strengthen these citizen parks. Big energy companies from elsewhere should not buy them up. The money and the jobs should stay in the state.

The SPD wants to push for a reform of grid fees. The costs of the power grid should be spread more evenly across Germany. In the party's view, they must not be highest where the most green power per capita is produced.

Grid fees are charges for the power lines. They are part of the electricity price. They are especially high in Schleswig-Holstein. The SPD wants all regions in Germany to pay about the same.

The SPD wants to build at least 10 gigawatts of electrolysis capacity for green hydrogen in the state by 2030. As part of a "Hydrogen Hanse," Schleswig-Holstein would also become a hub for hydrogen imports. The west coast around Brunsbüttel would be its center.

Green hydrogen is an energy carrier made with green power. Industry needs it to become climate-neutral. The SPD wants to make much more of it in the state by 2030. Hydrogen from other countries should also arrive through Schleswig-Holstein.

The SPD wants to promote district heating networks and heat pumps to replace oil and gas heating. Besides money, the state would provide its own implementation structure with standard solutions. Building renovation would focus on whole neighborhoods.

Homes should be heated in a climate-friendly way. The SPD wants to support heating networks and heat pumps. A heating network supplies many homes with heat together. The state should help towns build them with money and experts.

The SPD wants to speed up a statewide climate adaptation strategy and monitor its implementation. Flood and coastal protection would be geared to the effects of warming. No further building would be allowed in flood risk areas, except for coastal protection.

Climate change brings more storm surges, heavy rain and drought. The SPD wants to prepare the state better for this. It wants to protect the coasts and inland areas from flooding. Nobody should build new homes in areas at risk.

The SPD wants a statewide campaign to promote skilled trades and STEM degree programs that are needed for climate protection. Women in particular are to be drawn into technical jobs and fields of study. According to the platform, new workers are lacking exactly where wind power, solar, building renovation and grids need to be expanded.

Climate protection needs many skilled workers. For example in the trades and in technology. There are not enough people there. The SPD wants a campaign to promote these jobs. Women especially should choose them.

The SSW wants to promote renewable energy and relies on incentives rather than rules. It rejects a solar mandate for all private homes and wants to give more financial support for solar panels instead.

The SSW wants more power from wind and sun. But it does not want mandates for this. No one should be forced to put solar panels on their house. Instead, there should be more money to help. The state should tell people about this help.

The SSW wants to extend EU emissions trading to further sectors and, if possible, worldwide. The costs of climate action should fall mainly on industry and large corporations, not on private households.

In the EU, companies must buy permits for their CO2 emissions. This is called emissions trading. The SSW wants to make this system bigger. It should cover more sectors and more countries. Mostly big companies should pay for climate action.

The SSW wants the state's energy supply to be climate-neutral by 2035 and the coal phase-out moved forward, ideally to 2030. Coal and gas power plants are to go offline in step with the growth of renewables.

The SSW wants electricity and heat that do not harm the climate. This should be reached by 2035. Coal power plants should close by 2030 if possible. Heat pumps should replace oil and gas heating. Protecting the coasts should become more important.

The SSW wants to speed up wind power expansion onshore and offshore again and make the state a pioneer. Citizens and municipalities are to share more in the revenues in order to build acceptance.

The SSW wants more wind turbines on land and at sea. Old turbines should be replaced by stronger ones. Citizens should get a share of the profits more easily. Towns should also get more money from wind farms.

The SSW wants more solar installations, mainly on rooftops: public and commercial buildings are to be fitted with them when built or renovated, and private roofs are to get more subsidies. Clear rules are to apply to ground-mounted solar parks.

The SSW wants more solar panels on roofs. The state should lead with its own buildings. Business buildings should also get solar panels. Private homeowners should get more support. Solar parks should first go on land that is already built on.

The SSW wants to update the state's hydrogen strategy and greatly expand research on green hydrogen. Hydrogen from fossil sources is not to be produced in the state; sector coupling and storage technology are to advance as well.

Green hydrogen is made with power from wind and sun. The SSW wants much more research on it. There should be no hydrogen from gas or coal in the state. Power storage should also get better. Universities and companies should work together on this.

The SSW wants to speed up grid expansion and spread its costs across all of Germany so that people in Schleswig-Holstein do not pay a disproportionate share. Renewable electricity is to get consistent priority for grid feed-in, and self-consumed green power is not to carry extra charges.

New power lines should be built faster. Everyone in Germany should share the costs. The SSW says people in the north pay too much today. People who use their own green power should not pay extra for it.

The SSW stands by the nuclear phase-out and rejects classifying nuclear energy as sustainable in the EU taxonomy. The search for a final repository is to run nationwide, on scientific criteria and with broad public participation.

The SSW is against nuclear power. Nuclear waste needs a safe place deep underground. The search should cover all of Germany. Science should decide, not politics. People should be informed early and have a say.

The SSW wants to permanently rule out underground CO2 storage (CCS) and fracking in the state and build no infrastructure for liquefied natural gas. In the party's view, these technologies prolong fossil fuel use and endanger groundwater.

CCS means pressing the gas CO2 into the ground. Fracking uses chemicals to get oil and gas out of rock. The SSW wants to stop both for good. It also wants no facilities for liquefied natural gas. Groundwater should stay protected.
