The “Klimastreik” movement demands that Zürich sets itself the ambitious goal of reaching net zero emissions by 2030. Bring your motivation and knowledge to the table and design your vision of a carbon-neutral Zürich.
Challenge description
When we talk about reducing carbon emissions of Zürich, it’s clear that we need to look at all aspects of the carbon cycle. The sources (consumption, settlement development, buildings, energy supply and mobility) and sinks (natural or technological) of carbon emissions have to be taken into consideration.
We suggest two approaches to tackle these aspects:
- Visualisation of the goal: design a carbon-neutral version of Zürich that could act as a roadmap to achieving net zero emissions by 2030
- Low-hanging fruit: focus on measures that have an immediate effect on reducing greenhouse gas emissions on a larger scale
The teams can decide for themselves which approach they will choose. They are also free to focus on the whole system, or on certain aspects.
Challenge vision
- A visualization of Zürich as a carbon-neutral city in 2030
- “Low hanging fruit” emission reduction measures for Zürich
