The Municipality of Mannheim, Germany, has developed a climate action plan that aims at reducing local CO2 emissions by '''40 per cent by 2020'''. As part of this plan, Mannheim city has the purpose to implement climate protection activities related to different sectors such as mobility, resource conservation and energy and to promote the collaboration and networking among residents, experts and other local stakeholders. The city has been active in setting up '''a citywide campaign - Mannheim Auf Klimakurs''' (Mannheim on a climate-friendly course) - to engage local stakeholder in energy and climate actions. The campaign aims to strategically bundle energy and political climate protection measures and make them more visible. <blockquote>''“The world needs new heroes, who lead the way and show what a responsible approach to our planet looks like”''

- Katarina Ressel, Climate Protection Agency </blockquote>

The campaign consists of four spheres of activities. For each sphere, the city has been promoting and implementing more than 60 projects and activities.
