Local politics

Michael Neuhaus supports the Leipzig climate emergency , on the draft of which he collaborated with the youth parliament, FridaysForFuture and the Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen parliamentary group. He criticizes the desired climate neutrality for the year 2050 as too late.

In the debate about coal-based district heating from the Lippendorf power plant , he advocated the earliest possible phase-out date of 2023, which was also decided by the city council.

Moreover, Neuhaus is committed to the conservation of biological diversity and pleaded in public discourse about the management of the Leipzig Auwalds for the biological diversity to be given priority.

Extra-parliamentary engagement

Michael Neuhaus is involved in FridaysForFuture and ScientistsForFuture . He is co-author of the ScientistsForFuture statement, in which the concerns of the protesting students are affirmed. It was signed by 26,800 scientists from Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Neuhaus is also one of the applicants for the Leipzig climate emergency, which was applied for by the youth parliament in 2019, developed by FridaysForFuture Leipzig and decided in October.

He supports forms of civil disobedience and, for example, called for the protests of Endegebiet in the Leipziger Land. When environmental activists disrupted a lecture by Christian Lindner on the subject of "Western values ​​and the new system question: Liberalism or authoritarianism" at the University of Leipzig, Neuhaus was among them. He justified the disturbance with the counter-question of what kind of values ​​it was that would accept fatal climate change, and demanded a system change with regard to Lindner's "new system question".

In addition to his interest in environmental issues, he is also committed to sea rescue and anti-fascist issues.
