City of Hamburg awarded as Official City of the UN Decade
|
Hamburg learns sustainability.
The application of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg with the initiative "Hamburg learns sustainability" convinced the jury - the German UNESCO commission.
On 29 November 2006 in Bonn the award was given for the first time to three municipalities in Germany: Heidelberg, Neumarkt/Oberpfalz and Hamburg. Dr. Herlind Gundelach from the Department of Civil Engineering and Environment as head of a Hamburg delegation accepted gladly the price.
Hamburg got the award in respect of its various activities and its annual "Hamburg action plan" (Hamburger Aktionsplan HHAP) that is a strategic plan and sums up all activities in Hamburg from all sectors of education to provide the United Nations Decade Education of Sustainable Development (2005-2014).
TuTech is part of the HHAP with a series of workshops for schools dealing with education for sustainable development in the field of waste management, lifestyle, food and housing - also awarded as official project of the UNESCO-decade.
