Germany wants to achieve greenhouse gas neutrality by 2045. Rastatt wants to implement this goal ten years earlier. To this end, the Rastatt climate protection concept was updated in December 2022. It contains numerous measures that will be reviewed after five years and redefined if necessary. Rastatt was one of the first cities in Germany to launch a climate protection concept back in 1994. The concept was revised in 2013.
What does greenhouse gas neutrality mean?
What data is the new climate protection concept based on?
The new edition of the climate protection concept is based on the energy andCO2 balance of the city of Rastatt prepared in 2016. According to this, with 10.3 tons per inhabitant, significantly more greenhouse gases were emitted than in Baden-Württemberg with seven tons per inhabitant. More recent figures are not available.
How was the public involved?
Together with representatives of clubs, associations and the city administration, citizens formulated ideas in four workshops to advance climate protection in Rastatt. Further suggestions were collected in an online survey. The concept was then developed with the help of an external specialist office and with the significant involvement of the Rastatt Climate Advisory Council, which was formed in 2020.
What is the composition of the Rastatt Climate Council?
Under the leadership of the municipal climate protection manager, the Rastatt municipal council, the Rastatt Climate Alliance, the Ravolution youth newspaper, the Rastatt youth movement Fridays for Future, the KIT Floodplain Institute, and the Baden-Württemberg Chamber of Architects are represented in this committee.
What is the target scenario?
According to a potential analysis, greenhouse gas emissions in Rastatt can be reduced by 78 percent by 2035 through suitable measures. As a result,CO2 emissions will then be 2.4 metric tons per inhabitant; in 2016, the figure was 10.3 metric tons. Heat demand and final energy demand for transport will also fall sharply, while electricity demand will increase, primarily due to the increased use of e-vehicles.
What share do renewable energies have in this development?
What measures are to be taken to achieve the climate targets?
The climate protection concept defines 22 measures in six fields of action:
- Energy supply and energy efficiency
Expansion of local and district heating networks, conversion to renewable local and district heating, potential study for the designation of suitable areas for PV systems in the urban area, expansion of PV and solar thermal systems on existing buildings, subsidy program for the replacement of oil-fired heating systems and 100 percent renewable energies in the electricity and heating sector.
- Nutrition and consumption
Reduce consumption of products of animal origin and promote regional sustainable agriculture.
- Climate-friendly mobility
Making walking and cycling more attractive, as well as the public transport fare structure in local public transport, improving cycle times and routing in local public transport, expanding the charging infrastructure for e-vehicles and creating alternatives to motorized private transport.
- Public relations and stakeholder participation
Strengthening public relations, environmental education and promotion of citizen energy cooperatives.
- Planning, Building Renovation
Strategy paper Sustainable new building projects and renovations, energy self-sufficient new building projects and neighborhood renovations, and energy-efficient renovation of existing buildings.
- City council as a role model
Equipping the city's own roofs with PV systems, energy-efficient refurbishment of all municipal building shells, and taking climate protection into account in decisions made by the city council and its committees.
Ujerumani inatarajia kufikia usawa wa gesi ya chafu ifikapo mwaka 2045. Rastatt anataka kutekeleza lengo hili miaka kumi mapema. Kwa hivyo, Rastatt imependekeza kuwa mfumo wa ulinzi wa hali ya hewa wa Rastatt utatengenezwa kwa njia ya hali ya hewa. Ina hatua nyingi ambazo zitakaguliwa baada ya miaka mitano na kufafanuliwa upya ikiwa ni lazima. Rastatt ni moja ya miji ya kwanza nchini Ujerumani kuanzisha dhana ya ulinzi wa hali ya hewa. Mfumo huo ulibadilishwa mwaka 2013. Ni nini maana ya kutokuwa na gesi za chafu? Ni data gani inayotegemea dhana mpya ya ulinzi wa hali ya hewa? Mfumo wa Ulinzi wa Hali ya Hewa wa Rastatt ni mpango wa kimataifa wa ulinzi wa hali ya hewa wa Rastatt, ambao unazingatia viwango vya nishati na CO2 vya mji wa Rastatt. Kwa mfano, katika eneo la Baden-Württemberg, watu wanaozidi milioni moja hutumia gesi ya chafu kwa mwaka, na kwa kila mtu, ni tani 10.3 za gesi za chafu. Takwimu za karibuni zaidi hazipatikani. Watu walijihusishaje na jambo hilo? Pamoja na wawakilishi wa vilabu, vyama na utawala wa mji, wananchi waliunda mawazo katika warsha nne ili kuendeleza ulinzi wa hali ya hewa huko Rastatt. Mapendekezo zaidi yalikusanywa katika uchunguzi wa mtandaoni. Mfumo huo ulibuniwa kwa msaada wa ofisi ya wataalamu wa nje na ushiriki mkubwa wa Baraza la Ushauri la Hali ya Hewa la Rastatt, ambalo lilianzishwa mnamo 2020. Ni nini muundo wa Rastatt Hali ya Hewa Baraza? Chini ya uongozi wa meneja wa ulinzi wa hali ya hewa wa manispaa, Halmashauri ya Manispaa ya Rastatt, Muungano wa Hali ya Hewa wa Rastatt, gazeti la vijana la Ravolution, harakati ya vijana ya Rastatt, Ijumaa kwa Baadaye, Taasisi ya Mafuriko ya KIT na Chama cha Wasanifu wa Baden-Württemberg wanawakilishwa katika kamati hii. Ni nini hali ya lengo? Kulingana na uchambuzi wa uwezekano, uzalishaji wa gesi za chafu huko Rastatt unaweza kupunguzwa kwa asilimia 78 ifikapo mwaka 2035 kupitia hatua zinazofaa. Kwa hivyo, uzalishaji wa CO2 utakuwa tani 2.4 kwa kila mkaaji, wakati mwaka 2016 ulikuwa tani 10.3. Mahitaji ya joto na mahitaji ya mwisho ya nishati kwa ajili ya usafiri pia itashuka kwa kasi, wakati mahitaji ya umeme itaongezeka, hasa kutokana na kuongezeka kwa matumizi ya magari ya umeme. Nishati mbadala zina sehemu gani katika maendeleo haya? Ni hatua zipi zinapaswa kuchukuliwa ili kufikia malengo ya hali ya hewa? "Mtazamo wa ulinzi wa hali ya hewa unafafanua hatua 22 katika maeneo sita ya hatua: ""Utoaji wa nishati na ufanisi wa nishati: Upanuzi wa mitandao ya joto ya mitaa na ya wilaya; kubadilisha kwa joto la mitaa na la wilaya linaloweza kubadilishwa; utafiti wa uwezekano wa kuamua maeneo yanayofaa kwa mifumo ya PV katika eneo la mijini; upanuzi wa mifumo ya PV na joto la jua kwenye majengo yaliyopo; programu ya ruzuku ya kubadilisha mifumo ya joto ya mafuta na nishati ya umeme.""" - lishe na matumizi Kupunguza matumizi ya bidhaa za asili ya wanyama na kukuza kilimo endelevu kikanda. - Uhamiaji wa hali ya hewa: Kufanya kutembea na baiskeli kuwa ya kuvutia zaidi, pamoja na muundo wa bei ya usafiri wa umma katika usafiri wa umma wa ndani, kuboresha muda wa mzunguko na njia katika usafiri wa umma wa ndani, kupanua miundombinu ya malipo kwa magari ya umeme na kuunda mbadala kwa usafiri wa kibinafsi wa motor. - Uhusiano wa umma na ushiriki wa wadau Kuimarisha mahusiano ya umma, elimu ya mazingira na kukuza ushirikiano wa nishati ya raia. - Mipango, ujenzi ukarabati mkakati karatasi Uendelevu mpya ujenzi miradi na ukarabati, nishati kujitegemea ujenzi mpya miradi na ukarabati kitongoji, na nishati ufanisi ukarabati wa majengo ya sasa. - Halmashauri ya mji kama mfano wa kuigwa: Kuandaa paa za mji na mifumo ya PV, ukarabati wa nishati ya ufanisi wa majengo yote ya manispaa, na kuzingatia ulinzi wa hali ya hewa katika maamuzi yaliyotolewa na halmashauri ya mji na kamati zake.
