Paths to a Fossil CO2-free Munich

A city such as Munich can cut its CO₂ emissions by up to 90 per cent by midcentury by developing highly efficient building and mobility structures and adapted renewable and low carbon infrastructures. This is asserted by a recent study of the Wuppertal Institute for Climate Energy and Environment. Commissioned by Siemens it examined how a modern metropolis of 1.3 million inhabitants, such as Munich, third largest and one of the most dynamic German cities, can drastically reduce the amount of CO₂ it emits.
