We take on responsibility: Sustainability plays a crucial role in Northern Germany. The region, especially along the North and Baltic Seas, is a leader in the use of wind power, both offshore and onshore. Schleswig-Holstein, for example, is home to some of the largest onshore wind farms in Europe, while the North Sea features major offshore wind projects. In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the region’s agricultural sector is increasingly focused on ecological farming methods, with initiatives to reduce chemical use and protect the environment. Nature reserves such as the Wadden Sea, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Niedersachsen, contribute to the preservation of biodiversity. The Hanseatic City of Lübeck has been the first Fair Trade City in Schleswig-Holstein and the green Hanseatic Cities of Hamburg and Bremen both act strictly according to their climate strategies.
