How can the city of Zurich make greater use of wood as a resource to achieve its climate protection goals? It explored its options as a builder, energy producer, materials manager and forest owner using study contributions and a series of workshops. We provided technical support for the studies, helped develop a competence network and managed event. During four events, we created a suitable framework for exchanging ideas and networking.
