The city of Munich has committed to reducing CO2 emissions by 50% by 2030 through investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency. It implements this strategy through municipal grant programs that have provided over €40 million for energy conservation projects since 1989. It has also established the Munich Solar Initiative to promote solar power through consulting, planning, and mobilizing available roof space. Additionally, the Bauzentrum Munich educates local stakeholders on sustainable building practices. Federal legislation in Germany also supports these efforts through low-interest loans and feed-in tariffs for renewable energy.
