Hamburg's Green Senate Aims for 2040 Climate Neutrality with Innovative Projects

The Hamburg Senate's climate policy, heavily influenced by Bündnis 90/Die Grünen, aims for ambitious goals like climate neutrality by 2040. Leon Alam, state chairman of the Greens Hamburg, has been instrumental in shaping this policy.

The Senate's climate plan comprises two key aspects: tangible measures and communication strategies.

Actual climate protection measures involve innovative projects. These include harnessing industrial waste heat for residential heating, constructing new bike paths to encourage cycling, geothermal drilling in Wilhelmsburg to tap into clean energy, and promoting building insulation to reduce emissions.

In terms of communication, the Senate employs clear explanations and categorizations. They also use creative artistic terms and mechanical metaphors to engage the public and convey complex climate concepts in an accessible manner.

The Hamburg Senate's climate policy, under the guidance of the Greens and Leon Alam, combines practical measures like waste heat utilisation and geothermal drilling with effective communication strategies. This holistic approach aims to make Hamburg a greener, more sustainable city.
