The Blue City Climate Pact Augsburg Economy, a network dedicated to urban climate adaptation and sustainable economic growth, has been a hub for discussions and workshops focusing on the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in achieving sustainability goals.
During the various events, Christoph Grüntgens from MeteoViva GmbH presented savings potential in euros and CO2 consumption using example buildings, while Christoph Frey from etabits GmbH demonstrated how simple sustainability reporting can be for smaller companies. Mirea Rummel from Arqum GmbH explained the importance of sustainable and credible communication in these tasks.
The workshops offered insights into the use of waste heat, heat pumps, and best practices for Augsburg companies, as well as discussions on Photovoltaics & Power Purchase Agreements. The events also provided a practical overview of the implementation of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and demonstrated concrete examples on the path to climate neutrality.
One of the guest speakers, Prof. Dr. Daniel J. Veit from the University of Augsburg, spoke about the incentives and barriers to the transformation of the economy and the emissions caused by digital technologies. Holger Hemsen from the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence was also present, contributing to the discussions.
The events, which took place during Future Week Augsburg, offered networking opportunities and lectures on digital innovations for climate protection. Notably, the first network meeting and workshop took place at the Augsburg Technology Center on 9 March 2023, and the 6th Network Meeting was held at westhouse Augsburg on June 30, 2025.
AI supports climate balance by enabling smarter, energy-efficient buildings and infrastructures. Compensation mechanisms often involve carbon offsetting and nature-based solutions. However, specific discussions and practical examples from the Blue City Climate Pact Augsburg Economy events concerning AI, climate balance, and compensation were not found in the available sources.
