In December 2008, she was nominated as a Green direct candidate for the 2009 Bundestag election for constituency 236 (Bamberg-Forchheim).

In parliament, Badum has since been serving on the Committee on the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety.

Positions

For Badum, the fight against the climate crisis is a global and intergenerational challenge. Her particular focus is on the socially just implementation of the Paris climate targets, whereby she sees an ambitious coal phase-out plan and the promotion of renewable energies as decisive steps. She criticised the coal phase-out decided by the grand coalition and called for more transparency and a more timely phase-out.{{cite news |last1=Staude |first1=Jörg |title=»"Nicht noch mehr Geld für Kraftwerksbetreiber"« |url=https://www.klimareporter.de/deutschland/nicht-noch-mehr-geld-fuer-kraftwerksbetreiber |access-date= 3 January 2025 |work=klimareporter.de |date=13 September 2020 |language=de}} Badum is also involved in gender equality,{{cite news |last1=Flach |first1=Yvonne |last2=Marsollier |first2=Kristina |title=»Lisa Badum (MdB B‘90/Die Grünen) im Sozialkundeunterricht der 10a/c« |url=https://alexandrinum-coburg.de/lisa-badum-mdb-b90-die-gruenen-im-sozialkundeunterricht-der-10a-c/ |access-date= 3 January 2025 |work=alexandrinum-coburg.de |date= |language=de}} climate money,{{cite news |last1=Crysmann |first1=Theresa |title=»So hoch könnte das Klimageld sein« |url=https://www.t-online.de/klima/leben-umwelt/id_91686538/co2-abgabe-klima-studie-schlaegt-ausgleich-von-132-euro-vor-pro-person.html |access-date= 3 January 2025 |work=t-online.de |date=18 February 2022 |language=de}} and the Climate Protection Act issues.{{cite news |last1=Preuß |first1=Roland |title=»Unter die Räder geraten« |url=https://www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/klimaschutz-co2-habeck-wissing-1.5620660 |access-date= 3 January 2025 |work=sueddeutsche.de |date=13 July 2022 |language=de}}

In addition to her work at the federal level, Badum is committed to a fair energy transition at the local level and emphasises the close connection between climate protection and local design. One of her main focuses here was on the abolition of the 10-H rule in Bavaria, as she believes that this makes the expansion of wind energy more difficult.{{cite news |last1= |first1= |title=»10-H Murks: Er zeigt beispielhaft warum die CSU eine Gefahr für Bayern ist« |url=https://www.lisa-badum.de/2014/11/13/10-h-murks-er-zeigt-beispielhaft-warum-die-csu-eine-gefahr-fuer-bayern-ist/ |access-date= 3 January 2025 |work=lisa-badum.de |date=13 November 2014 |language=de}} Badum is also committed to the conversion of part of the Steigerwald Nature Park into a national park.{{cite news |last1= |first1= |title=»Lisa Badum, Bündnis 90/Die Grünen« |url=https://www.bundestag.de/webarchiv/abgeordnete/biografien19/B/524852-524852 |access-date= 3 January 2025 |work=bundestag.de |date= |language=de}}{{cite news |last1=Löffler |first1=Liebhard |title=»Verein „Nationalpark Steigerwald e.V.“ hielt Mitgliederversammlung mit Neuwahlen« |url=https://www.wiesentbote.de/2021/07/29/verein-nationalpark-steigerwald-e-v-hielt-mitgliederversammlung-mit-neuwahlen/ |access-date= 3 January 2025 |work=wiesentbote.de |date=29 July 2021 |language=de}}

At European level, Badum is in favour of the most ambitious climate protection package possible to meet the 1.5-degree target and a comprehensive CO2 border adjustment mechanism (CBAM).{{cite news |last1=Badum |first1=Lisa |title=»Starke Klimaschutz-Signale für Europa« |url=https://www.gruene-bundestag.de/presse/pressemitteilungen/starke-klimaschutz-signale-fuer-europa |access-date= 3 January 2025 |work=gruene-bundestag.de |date=22 June 2022 |language=de}} She spoke out against the inclusion of nuclear energy and gas in the EU taxonomy.{{cite news |last1=Beck |first1=Katharina |last2=Badum |first2=Lisa |title=»Katharina Beck und Lisa Badum zur EP-Abstimmung über die Aufnahme von Atom und Gas in die EU-Taxonomie« |url=https://www.gruene-bundestag.de/presse/pressestatements/katharina-beck-und-lisa-badum-zur-ep-abstimmung-ueber-die-aufnahme-von-atom-und-gas-in-die-eu-taxonomie |access-date= 3 January 2025 |work=gruene-bundestag.de |date=6 July 2022 |language=de}}
