In recent years, the city has shifted focus to waste prevention, reuse and repair, and engaging businesses and citizens to do their part for a circular transition in the city. Freiburg adopted its own 59 sustainability goals in 2017. Many of the 2030 targets relate to circularity, in particular; sustainable and fair public procurement, halving food waste, regional food supply, raising awareness for conscious consumption and behaviour patterns, reduced waste generation and reduction of CO2 emissions by 60%. A full list of Indicators on Sustainable Development in the city can be found in the biannual local sustainability reports and numerous SDG related measures are listed on the municipality’s website.
