What is a Sustainable Christmas Market?


Promoting local, organic and artisanal products to reduce the carbon footprint, reduce waste or the use of renewable energy are some of the key elements for making Christmas markets more sustainable. In order to reduce the environmental impact, some Christmas markets have been setting up more sustainable practices for years. Lighting has evolved towards the use of renewable energies, as seen in the Christmas market in Cologne (Germany), powered by 100% renewable electricity - hydroelectric and wind - a measure which saves, according to its estimates, 152 tons of CO2. Or that of Madrid’s Plaza Mayor, one of the most emblematic in Spain, which will be lighted with sustainable energy for the first time in 2024.
