Climate protection policy training for candidates of the Swiss parliament
SolarSuperState Association offers coordination of professional climate protection policy training for candidates of the Swiss parliament
All political parties in the national parliaments (including the greens) have official policies that prevented and prevent a rapid economic system change from fossil energies to 100 % renewable energies. Many environmental non-governmental organizations (like WWF and Pronatua) fought and fight against renewable energy installations like wind turbines, photovoltaic power plants, and small hydropower installations. Therefore, they delayed and delay a rapid economic system change from fossil to renewable energies. This failure of established political parties and environmental non-governmental organizations triggered the growth of the Fridays for Future movement. Many young people active in the Fridays for Future movement are also members of political parties or environmental non-governmental organizations.
In Switzerland, many of them are on candidacy lists of several political parties for the election of the Swiss parliament on 20 October 2019. Usually, the Fridays-for-Future people are on not favorable ranks of the parliament election lists. The only chance to be elected is a very competent individual public political candidacy campaign. This campaign must explain why the personal program is better than the official program of the political party that launched the list of candidatures for the election. The competency in climate protection policy is essential.
Many people on such lists need professional climate protection policy training. Then, they could compete successfully in debates with the political establishment - inside and outside the own political party. The extra-parliamentary opposition is the priority of the Fridays for Future movement. The private engagement of members of the Fridays for Future movement in the national parliaments is complementary. It can improve or enable the final political success of the movement.
In Switzerland, it is easy to run for the national parliament. In every canton of Switzerland, every voter can submit a list with his name alone or the name of several other voters. The website
http://www.renewables-now.ch/CH_Kantone_Wahl_NR_2019_Fristen_b.pdf
shows the number of necessary signatures of the list and the deadlines for submission of the lists.
SolarSuperState Association offers the coordination of professional climate protection policy training for all people that are already on a list or want to create a own list independent of a political party for the Swiss parliament elections on 20 October 2019 – in all cantons.
