The path to climate neutrality is complex, both technically and organizationally. In municipalities in particular, multi-layered administrative structures, limited human resources, and heterogeneous constellations of actors make it difficult to consistently implement the necessary transformation processes.
Cities are at the center of the global sustainability debate. They account for around 70% of global CO₂ emissions, mainly from transport, energy consumption, and the building sector. Given this responsibility, they are also key players in the fight against climate change. To achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement, urban emissions must fall by 7.6% annually by 2050. This is an enormous challenge that requires far-reaching structural changes.
At the same time, new opportunities are emerging: the expansion of green infrastructure, the promotion of low-emission mobility, and a sustainable energy supply can make a significant contribution to CO₂ reduction in cities. In order to meet regulatory requirements and remain sustainable in the long term, the necessary structures and plans must be put in place now.

Together with municipal stakeholders, we develop holistic strategies for effective city-wide CO₂ management, actively supporting the path to climate neutrality. To this end, we prepare well-founded CO₂ balances and develop cross-sector measures for reducing emissions. We rely on close cooperation with all relevant stakeholders from administration, business, civil society, and local companies in order to successfully implement sustainable changes together.

We systematically record all relevant emission sources—from energy and mobility to waste management—and analyze the current carbon footprint of your municipality, region, or company. This data forms the basis for targeted CO₂ reduction.
We support you in developing and implementing concrete, feasible measures to reduce emissions. By prioritizing measures in a targeted manner, we ensure that the right steps are taken efficiently and successfully with the necessary resources, clear responsibilities, and precise timelines.
We support you in establishing city-wide, cross-sector control structures and integrated climate management systems—including monitoring, reporting, and targeted internal change management. This makes climate protection a continuous, well-established task with clear responsibilities and sustainable success.
We identify innovative approaches and best practices as the basis for your strategy. Through targeted trend scouting and the analysis of best practices, we gain practical insights that we translate into tailor-made measures that can be implemented locally. Our Smart City Ranking provides a comprehensive data basis for this.
Climate neutrality can only be achieved through close cooperation between government, business, science, and civil society. We support you in developing cooperative organizational models to implement sustainable solutions together with the entire municipal group and local companies.
We take care of project management for the implementation of your CO₂ measures—from structuring and coordination to impact monitoring. With clear processes and professional stakeholder management, we ensure sustainable emissions reduction and progress toward your climate goals.
