Middle Saxony relies on the green future with a new climate concept!

Mittelsachsen, Deutschland - The district council of Central Saxony has today decided to have a comprehensive climate protection concept. Kerstin Kunze, the head of the Department for Economic Development and District Development, describes the process as a real feat. With the decision, a pioneering document is presented that is the first of this kind in the district. As reports saechsische.de, both citizens and companies have been actively integrated into the decision-making-a step that is looking for Support and acceptance is based.

The 213 -page concept has the goal of increasing energy efficiency in district's own buildings, expanding renewable energies and promoting climate -friendly mobility. In the planned projects, among other things, the construction of systems for renewable energies on properties of the district are considered. But the charging infrastructure at administrative locations is also to be expanded to support both public and private use of electric vehicles.

sustainable mobility and building efficiency

Another point in the concept are the internal projects that are to be implemented within the next three to ten years. The administrative fleet plays a central role in this: it currently includes 133 vehicles, including two battery-operated electric vehicles. In addition, the signage of cycle path routes is to be improved in order to further promote cycling as an environmentally friendly alternative.

The planning also provides for more than half of the circular buildings that are older than 50 years to convert climate -neutral. To achieve this, climate adaptation measures for renovations and new buildings are considered necessary. The big goal: a paperless administration and the exchange of traditional lighting through modern LED technology.

The protection of fertile arable soils plays a central role. This mainly affects the Döbelner loess hill country and the Rochlitzer Land. Climate cars are also to be funded in the Hainichen and Frankenberg area. As part of the measures, the district plans to plant heat -resistant plants and a program for afforestation to counteract the effects of climate change.

political reactions and role model function

The district administrator Sven Krüger emphasizes the responsibility that the current generations bear for future generations. The district council voted for the concept with 56 votes, while 28 votes were, in particular on the part of the AfD faction, which takes up a critical attitude. However, the support of other political groups shows broad political approval and the will to implement.

This initiative in Central Saxony reflects a larger trend that can also be observed at European level. Federal Environment Agency emphasizes that European climate protection policy serves to weaken the effects of climate change and to reduce environmental activities. The aim is to become greenhouse gas neutral by 2050, which is promoted with numerous strategies and initiatives, such as the Green Deal.

In Germany, the 2050 climate protection plan is a decisive contribution to these efforts. According to information from the [Federal Ministry of Economics] (https://www.bundeswirtschaftsministerium.de/de/De/artikel/ industrie/klimaschutz-klimaschutz-klimaschutzplan-2050.html), the aim is to reduce the greenhouse gases by 205 by 205 % compared to 1990 and to gain all energy from renewable sources in the long term. This plan shows the high priority of climate protection and sustainability in German and European politics.
