Overview

  • The Parliament of Humans opened May 30 on the Reichstag lawn for a three-day forum aimed at rethinking democracy and climate policy.
  • Sixty participants were randomly drawn from 300 applicants to mirror Germany’s age, gender and migration-background diversity.
  • Organizers intend the assembly to regularly convene new citizen cohorts to develop principles for a more participatory democracy.
  • From June 2 to 7, the group will stage peaceful civil-disobedience actions focused on the Axel-Springer high-rise during its announced resistance wave.
  • Successor to Letzte Generation, Neue Generation has shifted from disruptive blockades to combining community-driven democratic reform with climate activism.
