Germany: 80 Millionen gemeinsam für Energiewechsel in Berlin

Germany: 80 Millionen gemeinsam für Energiewechsel in Berlin Germany's 80 Millionen gemeinsam für Energiewechsel (80 Million Together for the Energy Transition) campaign mobilises households, companies, and municipalities to participate actively in the national energy transition in Berlin. It includes Energiewechsel.de: a multilingual portal with articles, videos, tutorials, and FAQs: plus regional information booths and webinars. What you can do - Lower heating temperatures, switch to LED lighting, and track savings using portal guides - Apply for BEG (Federal Funding for Efficient Buildings) subsidies for heat pumps, insulation, and renewables - Host a neighbourhood energy-saving workshop using campaign materials How to participate - Visit Energiewechsel.de (linked from the national campaign) - Join municipal events and webinars listed on the portal Why it matters Behaviour change sticks when backed by funding and local booths: not guilt alone. Germany's campaign pairs everyday habits with renovation finance.

Browse Berlin's best-practice energy-saving projects

Browse Berlin's best-practice energy-saving projects Berlin spart Energie has run since 2012 under the city's BEK 2030 climate programme, organised by the Senate department for mobility, transport, climate action, and environment together with EUMB Pöschk. Its free Projektdatenbank collects best-practice building and everyday energy-saving and energy-generating projects from across Berlin, each with contacts you can reach. What you can do - Browse the Projektdatenbank for retrofit, solar, and efficiency examples near you - Join free events bundled in the Dialogforum, from lectures to hands-on workshops - Book a free WorkshopToGo for your building, school, or workplace group - Running your own energy or climate project? Submit it to the database or the Dialogforum at no cost How it works Berlin spart Energie bundles project visibility, a shared event calendar, and a monthly "Projekt des Monats" spotlight, so institutions, companies, and motivated residents alike get a stage without organising their own PR. Why it matters Copying a neighbour's working retrofit is faster than inventing one from scratch, and a shared, searchable map turns scattered good examples into a movement.

Science Based Targets and division flight budgets in Berlin

Science Based Targets and division flight budgets in Berlin GIZ follows the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi): by 2025, cut absolute scope 1 and 2 emissions 30% vs 2019 and scope 3 (travel, commuting, procurement) 10% in Berlin. Mobility alone is 80% of the footprint, a 25% mobility cut target drives fewer flights. Divisions adopt GHG budgets based on historical flight emissions and plan reductions themselves. What you can do - Any large employer: set division-level travel budgets and publish them internally, transparency beats top-down flight bans - Civil-society coalitions: ask partner institutions whether they use SBTi-aligned targets before accepting sponsorship - Commuters: push for cycling infrastructure and e-mobility charging: GIZ optimises bike facilities at German sites How it works Principle: Vermeiden vor Reduzieren vor Kompensieren (avoid before reduce before offset). Unavoidable emissions are offset via Gold Standard certificates, but reduction comes first. Why it matters Climate targets work when every team sees its own flight ledger.
