Renovate Locally & Compensate Globally

Prof. Radermacher contributed a foreword to the 2019 Sustainability Report magazine of the Nassauische Heimstätte corporate group. Under the motto “more drive to take action,” he highlighted the themes of housing and the Alliance for Development and Climate.

Housing is a fundamental human need. Nevertheless, we must not overlook the impact of the building sector on the climate. From inadequate insulation to cement production, global CO₂ emissions must be drastically reduced if we are to achieve the climate goals set in Paris.

According to Prof. Radermacher, the most effective solutions are global in nature. This is why the Nassauische Heimstätte | Wohnstadt corporate group is a member of the Alliance for Development and Climate. Through this membership, the company temporarily offsets its CO₂ emissions – for example, by investing in a project in Nicaragua. You can learn more about this initiative here.
