Germany: Potential analysis and scenario development as part of the integrated climate protection concept for Bad Nauheim
The town of Bad Nauheim is a municipality with around 33,000 inhabitants in the Wetterau district of southern Hesse, on the edge of the Rhine-Main metropolitan region. Bad Nauheim has also been a member of the “Hessen aktiv: Die Klima-Kommunen” alliance since March 2021. From 2022 to 2024, the city of Bad Nauheim will receive funding from the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety as part of the National Climate Initiative (NKI) to create an integrated climate protection concept (IKSK) and a municipal climate protection management system as an initial project. The aim of the integrated climate protection concept is to significantly and sustainably reduce energy consumption and thus CO2 emissions in Bad Nauheim.
MACS was contracted with the preparation of an analysis of potential and scenarios (reference scenario and climate protection scenario) based on the German government's current climate protection targets for GHG reduction targets for the next 15 years and with a time horizon up to 2045, as well as specific, target-compliant action strategies and prioritized fields of action.
