Climate Positive Development Program is fond of Sonderborg
"Sonderborg’s ProjectZero venture has both the necessary resources, commitment and stakeholder support to achieve their goals, and to become a role model in creating new paths to excellence and sustainable city development", says Zach Tofias, Director of the Climate Positive Development Program (C40/CCI).
Minister for Business and Growth, Ole Sohn says:
‘’It is very impressive for Sonderborg’s ProjectZero to become one of the 16 city projects in The Clinton Climate Positive Development Program. This is a good example of demonstrating that sustainable development and growth can co-exist, and that public and private collaboration is essential if we are to find the solutions for the challenges facing us in the future. I’m looking forward to following ProjectZero throughout the coming years’’.
The Danish Minister of Climate, Energy and Buildings, Martin Lidegaard, says:
"Sonderborg is a front-runner in the conversion process that we all must engage in withinin the coming years. Sonderborg has shown us with ProjectZero that it really is possible to save energy, convert to renewable energy sources and create growth simultaneously. It is a well-deserved recognition for Sonderborg to participate in Clinton’s Climate Positive Development Program".
Through energy efficiency and conversion to green energy the goal in Sonderborg is to reduce the region’s CO2 emissions to zero by 2029. This will create new green jobs both within manufacturing and the service sector.
