Goal and direction: Climate-neutral Boden by 2030
Why we act now
Climate change is a global challenge with local consequences. What we do today makes a difference both here and across the world.
Everyone is needed
No one can solve everything alone, and we should not wait for a crisis. Together, we take steps forward in our operations, in the city’s decisions, in business innovations, in community projects, and in our everyday choices.
Our starting point
We do not yet have a formally adopted political goal for climate neutrality. However, we participate in Viable Cities’ initiative Climate Neutral Cities 2030. Together with local stakeholders and a national network, we work to accelerate the climate transition—beyond what any single actor can achieve on their own.

Our focus areas
