How does a quaint university town in southwestern Germany confront climate change? In a special edition of The Hub's \"Green Talks with Mayors,\" host Wang Guan sits down with Eckart Würzner, Lord Mayor of Heidelberg, to explore two decades of pioneering green initiatives. From energy-efficient schemes to creating a more livable environment, Würzner shares insights into the \"Heidelberg standard\" of sustainable development. He delves into the city's ambitious \"passive housing projects,\" which aim to establish one of the world's largest carbon-neutral districts. Highlighting the importance of collaboration, Würzner emphasizes bringing the private sector on board through incentives, believing Heidelberg's approach serves as a replicable model for cities worldwide.
