Within the framework of this contract, a detailed impact analysis of climate protection management in municipalities promoted through the municipal directive is to be carried out.
The aim of the contract is to determine what contribution the municipalities can make to achieving the German climate protection goals and what proportion of the contribution can be raised through the preparation and implementation of climate protection concepts by climate protection managers (KSM) in German municipalities.
The findings from the contract to be awarded are to be processed for the further development of the NKI. On the one hand, this should show the Federal Government and the Länder possibilities for strengthening the role of municipalities in climate protection and, on the other hand, make the municipalities aware of the effectiveness of KSM and thus support decisions to discontinue or consolidate KSM.
The formulated objectives of the contract are to be developed through the following work packages:
- Work Package 1: Climate protection potential of German municipalities and their potential contribution to the achievement of national climate protection goals.

Finally, on the basis of the project results and the current climate policy conditions, it will be examined whether the role of municipalities in climate protection could change in the future.
