Deutsche Bahn and UK to Be Official Partners of Greentech Festival 2020
Deutsche Bahn and the United Kingdom will be official partners of the Greentech Festival 202
Sir Sebastian Wood, British Ambassador, said:
“I'm very pleased that the United Kingdom will be a partner country to the Greentech Festival this year. Sustainable technologies are important for protecting our climate and are used across all areas of life – from food to transport to trade and its supply chains. Great Britain has a strong track record when it comes to climate and sustainability. In November 2020 – together with Italy – Great Britain will host the UN climate conference COP26.”
Dr Richard Lutz:
“Real change is created through the exchange of ideas. That happens in the community of the Greentech Festival. That's why we're happy to continue our successful partnership with the festival. The branded Intercity locomotive will be a fitting ambassador of this idea, because more than 90 percent of our trains travel with green electricity.”
Greentech Festival Founder Nico Rosberg said:
“We are continuing to work on our mission to unite people from every country with a shared vision of a better, greener future, together with our partners Great Britain and Deutsche Bah
Marco Voigt:
“Positive change is urgently necessary to save our planet. In June 2019 Great Britain was the first of the G7 countries to commit a climate-neutral goal by 2050 into law. Deutsche Bahn has also committed to becoming fully carbon-neutral by 2050 and to switch all trains to 100 percent green electricity by 2038. Both of our partners are important drivers of sustainability in Europe and together we have the power to make this transition a reality.”
