National Climate Protection Initiative
Through the National Climate Protection Initiative, the German federal government has been initiating and funding numerous projects since 2008 that contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Its programs and projects cover a broad spectrum of climate protection activities: from the development of long-term strategies to concrete support and investment-based funding measures. This diversity ensures a wealth of good ideas. The National Climate Protection Initiative helps embed climate protection at the local level. It benefits consumers as well as businesses, municipalities, and educational institutions.
