Welcome to my website,

I'm glad you're interested in my work as a member of the German Parliament (Bundestag). You will find lots of information about me and my political work on this website. I'm pleased to provide some of the information in English from now on, for our visitors from abroad.

I am a member of the committee on the environment, nature conservation and nuclear safety, as well as a deputy member of the committee on economics and technology. I do focus my work on the issues of climate protection and energy politics. I do further represent the parliamentary group of Bündnis 90/Die Grünen (Green Party) as the spokesperson for energy- and resource-efficiency. Additionally, I am head of the work group on energy and climate of our parliamentary group.

Due to limited resource, we can only provide a small part of this website in English. Nevertheless, I hope you will find some interesting information. If you have any questions, suggestions or critique, please do not hesitate to contact me and my team in our offices in Berlin or in my electoral district in Düren. Here you will find our contact information.

Yours Oliver Krischer
