Hamburg launched the “Green Roof Strategy” initiative. In the course of this, the Hanseatic city wants to take action against climate change with planted roofs.
Hamburg – The discussion on climate change and how this can be stopped is on everyone's lips shortly before the 2021 federal election. On Friday, September 24th, thousands of schoolchildren took to the streets around the world – above all Greta Thunberg in Berlin. The accusation: Politicians are not doing enough against global warming, although Germany is "objectively one of the greatest climate villains," said the climate activist at a large demonstration in front of the Bundestag in Berlin. But Hamburg * is now relying on a new strategy in the fight against climate change: in the long term, the city is pursuing the goal of greening at least 70 percent of the roof areas.
24hamburg.de * reveals how Hamburg intends to fight climate change with the help of the “green roof strategy”.
In the coming years, green roofs of over 100 hectares are to be built in Hamburg. The environmental authority is supporting the project with 3.5 million euros until 2024. The overarching goal of the initiative is to improve the climate, but also to improve the quality of living and quality of life for the citizens of Hamburg *. * 24hamburg.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
