What can you expect?
Carsten Herbert will take you on a journey through the world of heat pumps and explain in simple terms how the technology works. He’ll also show you that many existing buildings can be made ready for the switch to heat pumps today with just a few targeted measures. Of course, there will also be time for your questions. A book table and information booths round out the evening.

The municipal forum "Partnerships for Climate Action" took place from 6.3. to 8.3.2024 at the Ludwigsburg District Office.
The district of Ludwigsburg invited interested people from its municipalities, partner cities and communities, the Stuttgart region and beyond to network and learn from each other on climate protection and adaptation.
Over three days, we brought together municipal practice, science, politics and other stakeholders in climate protection and adaptation - with the participation of international partnerships.
Our Green Sofa is used wherever partnerships and collaborations on the topic of climate protection need to be made visible. The source of inspiration was the "Green Energiewende Sofa" of the German Renewable Energy Federation (BEE). Our Green Sofa was inaugurated at the district's Climate Forum, which took place from March 6 to 8, 2024 under the theme "Partnerships for Climate Action". You can find these and other stations in the picture gallery.
