The experiences from the real laboratory can also be helpful for other municipalities and districts. "After successfully completing the project "Klimaneutral Leben in Berlin" at PIK - with 100 households that were able to significantly reduce their CO2 footprint within one year - we would like to use the workshop on Thursday and Friday to discuss with municipalities that are active in climate protection how such real laboratories can be implemented throughout Germany. The aim is to activate citizens for climate protection at home and in the municipality", says KliB project lead Fritz Reusswig.
The city of Potsdam also belongs to Germany's master plan municipalities and aims to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 95 percent by 2050. "As the state capital of Brandenburg and master plan municipality, Potsdam has set itself very ambitious climate targets, which require the support of its citizens," says Reusswig. "We are very pleased that Potsdam's Lord Mayor Mike Schubert will address the audience at the workshop. We understand this also as indication to all people living in Potsdam, which ask for more commitment for climatic mitigation from the policy in general and their municipality in particular.
