Spokesperson: Majority has put Senate under obligation - Hamburg Moves Up Climate Neutrality Goal to 2040

Hamburgers have voted to advance their city's climate neutrality goal, moving it up from 2045 to 2040. Annika Rittmann, spokesperson for the climate referendum initiative, sees this as a resounding success and a clear mandate for the Senate.

The Senate, Hamburg's governing authority, is now tasked with implementing social climate protection measures and complying with binding CO2 budget targets. The majority of Hamburg women have played a significant role in holding the Senate accountable for these changes.

Citizens have expressed their readiness to accelerate climate neutrality, demonstrating a strong commitment to environmental protection. This decision reflects the growing urgency to address climate change and the desire for more ambitious climate policies.

Hamburgers have voted to bring forward their city's climate neutrality target by five years. The Senate, under the scrutiny of Hamburg women, must now work towards this new goal. The city's commitment to climate action has been strengthened, and citizens are eager to see progress.
