Since 2000, citizens, associations, companies, churches and other groups in Wolfsburg have been committed to sustainable development and have drawn up a Wolfsburg Agenda21, which the city council unanimously adopted as the guiding principle for city policy.
Agenda21 goes back to the 1992 environmental conference in Rio, at which the United Nations adopted a comprehensive action program that takes equal account of ecological, economic and social concerns in order to shape globalization in a fair and sustainable way.
