Winterthur does climate protection

On November 28, 2021, the people of Winterthur spoke out clearly in favor of the climate target of “net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040”. By 2040, the city of Winterthur should not emit more greenhouse gases than can be absorbed by natural and technical storage.

In order to achieve this ambitious goal, CO 2 savings are required in energy supply, mobility, in the local economy, in housing, construction and also in our consumption and leisure behavior.

The city of Winterthur invites all Winterthur residents to gather information during the climate week and to take part in the current climate debate. Because in order to achieve “net zero 2040”, the population is needed to promote climate protection in the city of Winterthur together with the city authorities, private companies, clubs and associations.
