The GPP links progress in climate protection to a voting rights bonus within the organization.
a) Calculation Methodology
The target period for achieving climate neutrality ends in the year 2035.
States that reach the target earlier shall receive additional votes, proportional to the number of years remaining until 2035.
The formula is as follows:For each full year that a state achieves climate neutrality before 2035, it shall receive a voting bonus equal to 100% per year of its regular number of votes.Maximum bonus: 700% (for achieving the target in 2028 – i.e. 7 years early).
b) Examples
Year of AchievementTime Gained (Years)Voting Bonus20323 years early+300% of base votes20287 years early+700% of base votes
A state with 5 regular votes that achieves climate neutrality in 2028 shall receive:5 (base votes) + 35 (700% bonus) = 40 total votes.
