THE DEVELOPMENT POSSIBILITIES OF ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS OPERATION THROUGH THE EXAMPLE OF THE CITY OF DEBRECEN

Abstract

In this research material, I review the energy policy of the municipality of Debrecen today and its impact on the future. Compliance with the Environmental Protection Programs is important for the municipality of Debrecen, in which a new environmental protection policy was developed for the city in addition to the existing ones. At the end of 2023, the city of Debrecen established the Green Working Group, the task of which is to operate an environment-conscious, climate-friendly and family-friendly environment in addition to the structure and operation of companies settling in Debrecen. Recently, the Green Code was created in the city of Debrecen, which envisages a livable environment for the residents so that economic development goals can also be achieved. In my research, I cover the Civaqua program, green urban mobility, the topic of carbon neutrality, and the development of a green approach in Debrecen city management. Since several well-known foreign companies have settled in Debrecen in the past short period (battery factory and its subcontractor groups, automotive factories, etc.), I think it is appropriate to examine the role of the Debrecen Municipality in remedying the situation. The topics mentioned in my presentation regarding Debrecen are the following: waste collection, water use, climate, industrial water supply, air cleanliness, and the examination of the concentration of carbon monoxide in the air.
