Leipzig aims to reduce its per capita CO2 emissions by 10% per year to reach a sustainable level of 2.5 t by 2050. To fulfil this goal, it has drawn up an Energy and Climate Protection Work Programme, outlining priority measures and projects to be implemented by the municipality, public transport association and municipal utilities.
The long-term vision for 2050 aims at enhancing consumption of renewable energy produced in the city and virtually connecting all participating generation, storage and consuming entities in order to balance energy consumption and production and enable new services. The goal of the city is to develop a 2050 strategy that can be replicated in districts not only in Leipzig, but in other cities across Europe.
