Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf receives European Energy Award for climate protection

The district of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf celebrates a magnificent victory! With the prestigious "European Energy Award" (EEA), the tireless work in the fight against climate change and for energy efficiency is brilliantly rewarded. This award not only evokes recognition, but is also a statement for all Berlin districts.

In the middle of a bitter competition, Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf almost reached the maximum number of points among the seven Berlin districts. More than 1,500 municipalities in 16 European countries can already look forward to this award. And now this district is one of them!

a well thought -out concept for the future

The European Energy Award is much more than just a sticker for a good conscience. It represents a comprehensive quality management system that helps to create sustainable structures that will continue to exist in the future. An energy policy work program created as part of the EEA process shows which measures should follow in terms of energy efficiency and climate protection. This program becomes a model for other districts and municipalities who also want to reduce their CO2 footprint.

District City Councilor Oliver Schruoffenger can hardly believe his luck: "I am happy about this award, our intensive work is rewarded and it turns out that we are on the right course with our measures!" However, he underlines that the trip is far from over. In order to achieve the required climate goals, further measures are urgently needed - and not only in the area of ​​energy.

act for a better morning

Despite the success in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in recent years, especially in electricity and heating costs, new efforts are required. "In order to further expand our commitment, we need the support of our citizens," appeals Schruoffeneger. A clear message: Each individual can make a contribution, but the framework conditions must also improve.

It is due to the district, state and federal politics to create the right prerequisites. Only together can the fight against climate change really be successful. Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf is ready to take further steps with fresh wind!
