For Badum, the fight against the climate crisis is a global and intergenerational challenge. Badum is also involved in gender equality, climate money, and the Climate Protection Act issues. 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. Badum is also committed to the conversion of part of the Steigerwald Nature Park into a national park. 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). She spoke out against the inclusion of nuclear energy and gas in the EU taxonomy. In a global context, Badum warns of the consequences of the climate crisis, which exacerbates existing crises and social injustice and calls for more climate justice. ==Memberships==
