In its climate policy, the Canton of Lucerne aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the canton to net zero by 2050, in line with the objectives of the federal government and the Paris Climate Agreement. Net zero means that although greenhouse gas emissions will continue to be produced in certain areas, they will be removed from the atmosphere to at least the same extent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An overview of measures shows a total of 134 measures for climate protection and adaptation in various areas such as spatial development, buildings, mobility and transport, dealing with natural hazards, energy, waste disposal and recycling, water management, forestry, agriculture, health, industry and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
