Free lecture: This is how owners benefit from federal funding!

The Hameln-Pyrmont Adult Education Center invites you to an exciting and free lecture on Monday, November 17th, 2025 Federal funding for efficient buildings (BEG) a. From 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., Klaus Schulze from the Weserbergland climate protection agency will provide comprehensive information in the vhs Hameln-Pyrmont competence workshop, Ohsener Straße 108.

Owners who show an interest in energy-efficient renovation are particularly addressed. The lecture covers important topics, including funding for heating replacement, the use of heat pumps and subsidies for residential buildings. It also explains how you can apply for low-interest KfW loans. The focus is on practical examples of using the funding programs to reduce energy costs and actively contribute to climate protection.

Climate protection and international developments

The lecture in Hamelin is part of a broader movement dedicated to climate protection. Climate protection involves measures to combat man-made global warming and has become increasingly urgent in recent years. The warming of the planet has far-reaching consequences and that is why we must drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

In this context, a current trend shows interesting developments worldwide. Such are, for example China's carbon emissions Stable or even declining for 18 months now. This is not only happening in the context of economic downturns such as those we have experienced during the coronavirus pandemic, but is primarily due to the increased use of solar and wind energy as well as the rise of electric vehicles.

This marks a significant shift in global climate diplomacy as China, the largest exporter of clean technology, actively plays its role. The Chinese government has committed to reaching emissions reductions by 2030 and could even see an overall decline as early as 2025. This could ultimately strengthen China's influence in international negotiations.

The role of the energy transition

The energy transition in Germany is another important topic that is linked to the lecture in Hamelin. Germany has committed to being greenhouse gas neutral by 2045. To achieve this goal, measures such as improving energy efficiency and expanding renewable energies are essential. By 2019, emissions in Germany had fallen by around 35%, and the share of renewable energies in the electricity mix was already over 40%.

But the path to a climate-neutral future is full of challenges. Political decisions made today can have long-term impacts on the climate. It is therefore important that individuals in industrialized countries also adapt their behavior to promote climate protection. The Fridays for Future movement has mobilized millions in recent years and made it clear that climate change is one of the greatest threats to humanity.

The upcoming lecture in Hameln offers a valuable contribution to the discussion about climate and environmental protection and at the same time shows practical ways to become active yourself. We invite all interested citizens to participate and learn more about how they can reduce their own ecological footprint.
