Positions

Angelika Brunkhorst was the spokeswoman for nature conservation in the FDP parliamentary group. In this role, the MP made u. a. strong for the preservation of biological diversity. She was considered an expert on biodiversity in the group . She took the position that species conservation is only possible with solid scientific underpinning of the measures aimed at it. In the Bundestag, the MPs therefore spoke out in favor of better promotion of taxonomy as a basis for better species protection.

In 2011, the International Year of Forests, she became more involved in the preservation of biodiversity in German forests and called for greater weighting of biodiversity in the federal government's forest strategy.

As the spokesperson for reactor safety, she stood for the temporary extension of the service life of German nuclear power plants . She tried to make a rational assessment of atomic energy.

Further scientific exploration of the Gorleben repository was an important concern for her. Angelika Brunkhorst took the position to fully explore the Gorleben site.

In her function as chairwoman of the FDP parliamentary group in the Gorleben investigative committee of the 17th electoral term, she contributed to the disclosure of the selection and decision-making process in the case of the Gorleben investigative mine. Among other things, she spoke out against the political instrumentalization of the committee of inquiry.
