Climage gain through cooperation: Metropolitan region Nuremberg is part of!
The Nuremberg metropolitan region announces increased cooperation for climate protection after it has remained behind the goals in its previous efforts. A new climate pact entitled "Klimapakt 2030 Plus" was adopted at the last council meeting in Hof to significantly advance the energy transition and reduction of greenhouse gases per inhabitant by 2030.
climate neutrality by 2040: a common goal
In an ambitious plan, the metropolitan region aims to be climate -neutral by 2040. This objective is crucial in order to meet the climate goals specified by the Free State of Bavaria. In particular, the transport sector, which is currently largely dependent on fossil fuels, must be reformed urgently, while positive progress in the area of renewable energies in the electricity sector have been recorded.
economic opportunities through renewable energies
The new climate pact should not only support environmental goals, but also bring economic advantages. Immenses are currently flowing for energy imports that could be replaced by local renewable energy sources. As a result, the metropolitan region could not only become more independent, but also promote domestic value creation.
The Private Sector as the main concern
Unfortunately, current developments show that the traffic area is still significantly behind the expectations. The use of energy in this sector is still alarming - 92 percent come from fossil fuels. In order to achieve the desired goals, it is urgently needed innovative solutions and joint efforts of all municipalities.
initiatives for avoiding waste
Concrete projects for reducing food waste are already underway, including cooperation with social institutions in the city of Bayreuth. Here, a “waste coaching” program was implemented, which includes two retirement homes and five daycare centers. The aim is to minimize the ecological footprint and to raise awareness of sustainability.
progress in the field of renewable energies
The metropolitan region has already developed positively in the past: the proportion of renewable energies in the electricity sector is now 57 percent, which is above the German average. Local initiatives, such as the “solar offensive” in the Bayreuth district with the support of the municipalities, aim to use solar energy far-reaching and to support individual households in implementing solar systems.
collaboration is the key
The revision of the climate pact emphasizes the importance of municipal cooperation. Dr. Florian Janik, chairman of the steering group, emphasizes that major challenges, such as climate protection and the energy transition, cannot be isolated, but can only be mastered as part of a joint engagement. Numerous projects and initiatives already testify to the progress in the region.
conclusion: a common commitment to the future
The new climate pact of the Nuremberg metropolitan region stands for the will and the determination of achieving climate policy goals more quickly and more effectively. By strengthening cooperation and focusing on sustainable solutions, the region not only becomes more environmentally friendly, but also lies the foundation for an economically stable and sustainable development. In this sense, the entire society is required to actively participate in this change.
