Klimaneustart Berlin is a civil society movement that connects citizens, science, and politics. Its goal is the climate-neutral transformation of Berlin by 2030. It promotes sustainable consumption, social justice, and collective action for a better future.
Klimaneustart Berlin is a civil society movement that serves as a link and platform between citizens, science, and politics. Our mission is to promote exchange on equal terms and demand real climate action. We are committed to a socio-ecological transformation of Berlin and strive to make the city climate-neutral by 2030 to support the global goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees.
Our main mission is to create a signaling effect for other major cities and promote a clear course change towards conscious consumption, collective action, and sustainable economic practices. We inform, raise awareness, and motivate each individual to advocate for the survival of our planet. Our values are based on the necessity of social justice, ecological sustainability, and the involvement of all actors in the transformation.
Klimaneustart Berlin has already achieved significant successes, including the declaration of the climate emergency in 2019 and the convening of the Berlin Climate Citizens' Assembly in 2021. Our initiatives have broad support among the population, as shown by the over 180,000 signatures for the referendum "Berlin 2030 climate neutral"[1][4][5].
The transformation of Berlin to climate neutrality requires a joint effort from politics, business, science, and citizens. We emphasize the need for a well-planned and coordinated transition of urban infrastructures and see Berlin as a lighthouse for climate neutrality that can inspire other cities[3][4].
