The German Federal State Baden-Württemberg has set ambitious targets to counteract climate change. This cluster will focus on the state’s local and regional experiences with its use of the Climate Protection Act and the Integrated Energy and Climate Protection Concept. It further analyses the options for upscaling and making national policies more ambitious.
Cluster Leads and Organisation
The Ministry of the Environment, Climate Protection and the Energy Sector Baden-Württemberg organises this congress biennially in cooperation with the Climate and Energy Agency of the State of Baden-Württemberg (KEA). The event represents a stocktake of the activities and the achievements in the area of local climate action. Communal newcomers can get informed about initial steps and measures, while the congress presents perspectives for further development and next steps for advanced municipalities. This year, the view is broadened outside the borders of the State of Baden-Württemberg.
Summary of the Cluster Session
The presentations start with an overview of established policy instruments on the federal and regional level as well as of the broad scope of funding programmes for climate protection in Germany. Subsequently, good practices and examples in the areas of energy management, buildings, heat supply and mobility
