      Freiburg's innovative environmental policies have garnered global attention, showcasing its solar power capacity, cycling infrastructure, and public transport efficiency. Despite ambitious goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2040, recent audits reveal shortcomings in meeting these targets. The author conducts a thorough examination of the city's initiatives, including interviews with local leaders, highlighting both valuable lessons for other cities and questionable strategies. He questions the efficiency of funding allocation and the influence of Freiburg's "green industrial complex" on climate policy.

      Lernen von der Klimaschutzpolitik einer deutschen Pionierstadt

      • 68 páginas
      • 3 horas de lectura

      Freiburg gilt als Vorreiter in der Umweltpolitik, mit beeindruckenden Initiativen wie einer hohen Solarenergiekapazität und einem umfangreichen Radwegenetz. Trotz ehrgeiziger Ziele zur Senkung der Treibhausgasemissionen bis 2040 zeigt eine Analyse, dass die Stadt hinter ihren Vorgaben zurückbleibt. Der Autor beleuchtet in Interviews mit Entscheidungsträgern die Erfolge und Herausforderungen der Stadtprojekte. Dabei hinterfragt er die Effizienz der Ausgaben und warnt vor der Dominanz des "grün-industriellen Komplexes", der möglicherweise von den eigentlichen Klimazielen ablenkt.
