GHG-reduction: Transportation • New Mobility • Closing the gap between modes of transportation • Public Transportation and Individual Mobility Services • Innovation e.g.: E-Mobilty Ruppert Stüwe Berlins Commitment to GHG-reduction
GHF-reduction: Industry • Companies have a self-interest to reduce energy demand • Never the less – regulation is needed • City and industry are partners for GHG-reduction • Our goal is to make reduction as easy as possible Ruppert Stüwe Berlins Commitment to GHG-reduction
GHG-reduction: Industry • Example: „Berliner Klimabündnis“ – A platform for GHG-reduction in Berlin • 13 Berlin based companies presented their projects for GHG-reduction • To document the joined efforts of municipality and industry Ruppert Stüwe Berlins Commitment to GHG-reduction
