On the way to becoming a sustainable municipality, data-based steering instruments are of central importance in order to make the successes of municipal climate and sustainability strategies visible. Together with [ui!] and PD, the city of Bad Hersfeld has developed a climate protection monitor that clearly displays current real-time climate data.

In the course of an open advisory board meeting, the new climate protection monitor was presented to the board and guests and supplemented by an expert contribution by Prof. Dr. Dr. e.h. Lutz Heuser (CEO, [ui!]). In his keynote speech on the topic of "Ways to climate neutrality with the help of smart solutions and urban data", he not only described current information presented in Bad Hersfeld on the new climate protection monitor, but also used examples from the digital city of Darmstadt to show what could be possible in the future to meet the climate targets set by the city of Bad Hersfeld.
