Climate protection is everything. Our existence, peace, prosperity – they all depend directly on whether we use our resources more sustainably and drastically reduce CO2 emissions. We look forward with great interest to the 23rd UN Climate Change Conference , which runs in Bonn from 6 to 17 November. The time to act is now. Every hesitation, every step backwards reduces our chance for a thriving future.

Diplomats, politicians and civil servants from all over the world discuss the path forward in Bonn. But an agreement will come only with help from new technologies – technologies that are presented at HANNOVER MESSE , the world's leading tradeshow for industrial technology. Less than half a year after the UN Climate Change Conference, from 23 to 27 April 2018, companies showcase in Hannover everything from energy infrastructures for e-mobility, decentralized energy supply and flexible power systems to grid stability with an increased share of renewable energies, stationary storage and energy efficiency in production. These are the solutions for climate protection.
