Rebecca Harms Biography

Rebecca Harms is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on December 7, 1956 in Uelzen, Lower Saxony, Germany. Rebecca Harms, a German politician, was born 7 December 1956 and served as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP), from 2004 to 2019. She is a member the Alliance ’90/The Greens of the European Green Party. She was president of The Greens- European Free Alliance in the European Parliament from 2010 to 2016.

Living in the Wendland region which became known nationwide for the Gorleben atomic waste site, Harms is a declared opponent of nuclear power. In 2006, she commissioned two UK scientists for an alternate report, entitled TORCH, to the disputed November 2005 IAEA report on the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster. She has been an outspoken critic of EU funding for the experimental International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) fusion project, money that, in her view, would be better spent on research into renewable energy. After European Union leaders in 2011 decided that nuclear reactors across all 27 member nations should undergo safety tests in response to the continuing radiation leaks from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan, Harms criticized that the tests were “designed to give the impression that there’s a new evaluation of the risks of nuclear power” but instead are meant “to win new acceptance for nuclear power.”

In her first term in parliament, Harms was a member of the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy. Between 2007 and 2009, she served as Vice Chairwoman of the Temporary Committee on Climate Change; she was part of the European Parliament’s delegations to the 2007 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Bali and the 2008 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Poznań.
